6/25/2008 Windows 7: Possible Footage?In the video Microsoft made for Bill Gates, they had some scenes where some people were interacting with a very unique UI, which could lead to being pieces of Windows 7 and beyond. I pieced the involving scenes together in the following clip. You be the judge.
- @lbert 6/24/2008 Bill Gates: Looking Back, Moving AheadMicrosoft has just published a really nice video about Bill Gates' life at Microsoft and his future at the foundation. Here it is in its entirety. Enjoy.
- @lbert 6/23/2008 The Zune "Pink Cloud"Has anybody ever noticed how the "pink cloud" on the bottom of Zune software works like a mini visualization when music is playing? I was sitting back on my chair just looking around my room and then looked at my screen to see it move. At first I thought my eyes were simply trying to adjust or my glasses were causing some weird distortion, but no, I looked closer and noticed that it moves to the music.
I just like how the Zune team puts all these little extras and doesn't really talk about them and leaves them for us to discover. Much better strategy than creating hype and under-delivering. Don't see the "Pink Cloud"?
Under Settings > Software > Display > Screen Animation, make sure "Show screen animation" is checked. Voila! Enjoy.
Video of the "Pink Cloud."
- Albert 4/17/2008 New search.msn.com UIThere seems to be a nice update to the look and feel of the search.live.com (or search.msn.com?) site. Could this be the future live.com (since the "personalized experience" of live.com will move to my.live.com in mid-April)? Well anyway, here it is:
- Albert 4/1/2008 Sen. Hillary Clinton picks Bill Gates as running mateCiting "strong and innovative financial and technical" qualities as key for her Today, New York senator and presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced that Bill Gates will serve as her running mate for the 2008 presidential election.
Hillary further stated that her only new challenge will be to devise a method for communicating efficiently with her two Bill's (Bill Clinton and Bill Gates). Bill Gates then chuckled and recommended a Windows Live Messenger-based communication method. Furthermore, the pair has already introduced legislation to make unconstitutional the use of Apple Mac's and iPod's in public areas, citing First Amendment rights by surrounding Zune users. Bill Gates later added:
- Albert Happy April Fools! Yes, this post is all a joke, sadly. ;) 3/30/2008 New Live Search feature finally implemented: "Refine by"I just got back from a very strenuous and fun weekend, but I thought this post deserved some of the little time and ounces of energy I have left for today. So it seems like those features that were long promised to be able to "refine" image search results based on color, face, etc., have finally been implemented in the Live Search UI (some of these little "refinements" were available via adding an instruction word before your search query). Here are some screenshots for your enjoyment.
We can see that the new "Refine by" section has been added above the "Related People" Live Search tool.
Here is a close-up of the "Refine by" section.
This shows results with the "Face" refinement. Clearly, it did a very well job.
- Albert 3/5/2008 Vote For My SubmissionRegardless of your preferred political party or candidate, be a friend and vote for this submission I have made for a scholarship competition over at Brickfish. I didn't know it was going to be selected based on public voting, and seeing that I'm a new member to whatever kind of social website that is, the popular kids seem to be reeking the benefit of "incumbent politicians." Click on the link and when you "vote" and "review" the sign I had to create for my favorite candidate it will ask you to sign in, but don't worry, select "sign in as guest" and you don't need to create an account. Thanks a lot my friends!
- Albert 2/17/2008 New MSN.com Marketing?I was on that StupidVideos website after being linked there by a video on the MSN Video site, which turned out to be an extremely hilarious baby video, when I found myself waiting on an ad to finish for the video to play and I thought I had heard "should have gone to MSN today...." and I was like...what?! After a laborious time looking through Internet Explorer's cache and figuring out what to do with the ruthless SWF file, I was able to end up with a WMV of the file. Now, it's on YouTube and for all to enjoy. But anyway, since when did Microsoft announce an MSN marketing campaign? We know we're expected to face a Windows Vista/Windows Live marketing blitz, but we never heard of an MSN advertising campaign under the works? The ad itself looks much like it could be a TV ad, but for now, just watch and enjoy, until we know more about this, we'll keep looking out for more of these on-line marketing videos.
- Albert 2/9/2008 Yahoo board to reject Microsoft bid
MSNBC broke the story just little over an hour ago. Really disappointing to see how Yahoo! thinks it deserves even more money than what Microsoft already amazingly offered. We'll just see what happens now. Will Google make an offer? Will Microsoft just back up? Or will Microsoft either force Yahoo's board of directors out if they convince Yahoo's stock holder or will they simply increase their offer and go more into debt, something that Microsoft has never been in for the last 33 years. Here's the story:
2/3/2008 Super Bowl XLII CommercialsSo the Super Bowl is over and the New York Giants won, now what? You can either continue with life or re-watch the greatest commercials from the game. Your pick. But just in case you want to enjoy the ads again, I've decided to provide you with a nice little player with all of the ads. So here it is, enjoy.
