08.11.2005Microsoft workers set to recieve a bar on campus
Windows 7 could soon be powered by Jack Daniels and Smirnoff Vodka if the opening of a new Spitfire bar on campus attracts thirsty Windows team
members. Todd Bishop first revealed the plans to setup a bar on Microsoft's Redmond campus a month ago and now Reymond Chen, Shell developer for
the Windows Team, has revealed employees are now playing the name game to name the bar, albeit un-officially. When we questioned Chen on what Aero
Shake was at Microsoft's PDC conference he denied any knowledge of the feature and claimed, with the assistance of his Microsoft colleagues, that
Microsoft could be building a nuclear missile into Windows 7.

26.10.2006Sears First Out Of Gates with 2D Bar Codes
Efforts to implement retail 2D bar codes are accelerating: Sears, in conjuction with vendor ScanBuy, became the first U.S. retailer to begin a public
trial that started in mid-December at a store in Marietta, Georgia. As opposed the the traditional row of black lines (a 1D barcode), 2D barcodes look
like a grid and make use of a second, vertical dimension, allowing them to store more data. What Sears hopes to do is to allow a cell phone's
digital camera "look" at a small 2D bar code on an advertisement, which launches an applet. A server interprets the bar code and the phone then
launches a Web browser and deep-links to a page on that site, typically the Web site of the advertiser.

Python, called, quite simply, Go. The language, which has a website here, "combines the development speed of working in a dynamic language like
Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++," according to the blog post made by Google. To give you a sample of the

The future of the Firefox address bar
Rafe Needleman: I had an interesting discussion today about Firefox with Mozilla's
Mike Schroepfer and Mike Beltzner. One of the things we drilled into a bit was the address bar in Firefox 3 (download). It's being called the "awesome bar" at Mozilla, and while
it will end up with an official name eventually (the "smart location bar"), what it does for users can fairly be described as awesome. And as it's
probably the most important touchpoint in the browser, it's worth exploring not just what it means for users but for Mozilla as well.
