they also are tasked with programming inspirational content.  And a lot of that mind-blowing, peek into the future content comes from the big brains working at and partnering with Microsoft Research.  Charles Torre joins us this week to talk about the R&D presence at MIX this year, including both sessions and our MSR TechFest that will be held in the Connect Lounge.  The research scholars speaking at MIX this year include Doug Crockford, Allen Wirfs-Brock, Luke Hoban, Tomasz Janczuk, James Mickens, Zhengyou Zhang, and Ivan Tashev.  Be sure to see their sessions either in person at the event, or shortly afterwards on-line.  Plus, we congratulate the winner of our green screen background challenge, Chris Hardy, of Manchester, England.  May the force be with you!   We also dug the three entries from @marciobueno, especially the Forrest Gump one.  Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest.   For all the goods, check out http://live.visitmix.com.

Joe and his team are responsible for the design and software product definition of forthcoming generations of Windows phones, so yea, it’s been a busy year.  In fact, all things ending in “o” are pretty important to Joe.  Might he be foreshadowing a little bit of his MIX keynote!?  http://live.visitmix.com

UPDATE: This interview has created a great deal of conversation and many of you have expressed angst with the update process. In true Channel 9 fashion, Joe has responded to your feedback and will continue to engage you in conversation at MIX11. Please see his reply.

What does it mean, really? Well, Microsoft Research is in the business of scientific discovery which often leads to innovations that end up in the hands of computer users (or not in the hands of the computer users as the case may be). One area of scientific focus at Microsoft Research, Computer Vision, has brought us the popular gaming controller device Kinect. Kinect has changed the evolutionary path of human computer interaction. It is in some sense a peripheral device used to control computers, like a mouse or keyboard, but it turns the user into the controller and enables the computer to understand natural user intention. Come learn from the scientists behind Kinect what it means for all of us going forward. There’s much more to this brave new world of human computer interaction than playing games on the Xbox 360. Microsoft Research will also present and demo new prototype development technologies for JavaScript analysis and automatically improving web site performance, plug-in free, of course. 

We also talk about our design content at MIX, called the UX Lightning Series.  We’ve lined up 12 expert speakers to present on various design and UX topics to stimulate creative thinking in a compelling format that will keep things moving along very quickly with a new speaker hitting the stage every 10 minutes. The result? Less fluff, less syntax, and much more creative and inspiring content!

So, what’s the biking about?  Nothing other than our studio got a new green screen and we thought it’d be fun.  But, if you watch very closely, there is a difference between Mike and Jennifer’s cycling.  If you can be the first to guess correctly what that variance is by posting in the forum below, a MIX11 shirt could be yours.  Good luck!  http://live.visitmix.com
