We invited Matt Harding to do a video in our Yahoo! office. watch here:http://ycorpblog.com/2008/08/04/and-now-we-dance/
and so we danced! Can you find me in the video? (it’s hard to, but try!)
This video was broadcasted at the end of the all-hands meeting which happened at the peak of 6-months take-over battle with Microsoft. Still bleeding purple, and stronger than ever!
Bill Gates demonstrates Touch Wall (CEO Summit 2008, Redmond, Wash. May 14, 2008). The reason why it’s impressive is not because of that fancy hardware - touch-screen with some sensors like earlier Microsoft’s Surface technology (which is primarily a hardware gimmick). This demo is much more than hardware!
Look closely at the application he is interacting with! It’s a unified model of the data presentation softwares from Microsoft Office (powerpoint, word, visio, interactive multimedia - all office tools put together working seamlessly in a non-linear way). My guess is, this is running on a giant presentation platform (must be more powerful than silverlight or maybe silverlight’s next gen) - should have been built from scratch, made to be capable of aggregating all kinds of documents working with eachother (visio, ppt, doc, multimedia).
A beautiful speech by Ted Kennedy about republican’s reluctance in increasing the minimum wage from $5 to $7.50 over 10 yrs. At one point he goes off and asks, “What’s price?… When does the greed end?…” to Senate Republicans as they once again try to block the first minimum wage increase in 10 years.
Today, Ted was diagonized with brain tumor following suffering a seizure two days ago.
This simple demo by a student from Lancaster University, stopped me to think.
It’s about forcing synchronization into periodic systems through coupling crossover.
Below is also the excerpt from Christiaan Huygen’s work who first observed this synchronization between loosely coupled pendula (on 1665).
Bill Gates talking about his idea, a new approach to Capitalism in the 21st Century, Creative Capitalism - at World Economic Forum. His plans after his retirement coming july 2008.
