• A New NUI - Tobii Eyetracking Hardware

  Playing an asteriod style game in this fashion is almost unfair.  Does Bill Buxton have this in his collection?

  Btw, this is partially what I would like to see Kinect for PC enable.  Hopefully there is some collaboration around this scenario.

  Many thanks for putting that collection together.  I've been immersed for the last half hour or so.

  You've done a fantastic job surfacing the various libraries...very intuitive.

  Interesting.  With MAUI, maybe I can look forward to the day that our Windows Home Server can do some heavy lifting.

• WordPress on Windows Azure: A discussion with Morten Rand-Hendriksen

  Apr 19, 2011 at 4:18 PM

  Great interview, covered alot of the things I've been thinking about.  From Morten's perspective, I certainly can see why this would make sense to their business ...a new option for their customers to leverage a cloud platform to better scale & support large membership sites.

  I've been working with WordPress quite a bit lately.  Although I have no plans to host our WordPress site in Windows Azure, in short term we can probably take advantage of Azure CDN and ACS 2.0.  

  Windows Azure CDN to alleviate disk i/o in our shared hosting environment.  Microsoft should either contribute or work with the creators of W3 Total Cache (currently does not integrate with Azure CDN) so that content is automatically sync'd with Azure.

  The just announced ACS 2.0 is a great addition that I think many WordPress installs could take advantage of.  Frankly I'd like to see Microsoft workout some sort deal with WordPress to get their ACS 2.0 WordPress plugin included in the default WordPress package.  After all, Windows Live did migrate over 600k+ customers to WordPress.

   

• A Look at Microsoft's Surface Computer V.2

  PixelSense technology is amazing.  Hopefully we see that technology continue to evolve along with lower production costs so that it becomes a viable replacement for the capacitive screens we see in all these Slates.  I'd be curious if it can take input from a stylus and detect pressure applied..sort like what Wacom is doing.

• PC Showcase with Ben the PC Guy

  Samsung Series 9 looks absolutely stunning and I'm pleasantly surprised by the battery life these 2nd gen iCore devices are getting.  The Acer Iconia looks like it has alot of potential but I'm curious if it can open up completely flat and work with a stylus.  Sofar, the Asus EP121 is the device I'll be taking a closer look at for my eveyday machine.

• Microsoft Touch Mouse

  @Larry, thanks for the explanation.  Its just that I recall zoom/rotate being demonstrated in the older research videos.  I was sort of looking forward to using these gestures with Bing Maps.

  @bas, I was wonder this too. Just guessing, but it might be translating gestures to scrollbar actions or keyboard shortcuts.  I don't think you can use the mouse surface to draw in MS Paint for example.

  Thanks for the video.  Device looks great but I wonder why no zoom or rotate gestures?  These seem fairly easy to implement.

  Windows 7 already supports this?
