2.7.2008 The Real Reason Why Windows Vista Was Delayed
Last night, during my dinner with Jim Allchin, we discussed the reasoning for delaying the consumer launch of Vista until January. Up until now, conventional wisdom would say that this is a bad move ? missing the precious holiday season sales. In fact, Microsoft has been slammed by most tech journalists about the delay. Of course, there?s always more to the story ? and Jim let us know it.

22.3.2007 Cray Computer Founder Joins Microsoft
Microsoft confirmed on Friday that Burton Smith, formerly the chief scientist for Cray, would be joining the company as a technical fellow. Smith will work to expand Microsoft's efforts in parallel and high-performance computing, and would report to chief technical officier Craig Mundie.
Smith had worked with Cray since its inception as Tera Computer Co. in 1988. He has also published several works on issues regarding parallel computing. "As microprocessor technology continues to evolve over the next decade or so, we're going to see the capabilities of a supercomputer cluster on the desktop which will require a different software architecture," Mundie said. "Burton will be investigating how to develop software to benefit from the opportunities which multi-core multiprocessors will present."

2.12.2007Real-Time Ray Tracing : Holy Grail or Fools Errand?
Browse the world of real-time computer graphics, and youll find the oft quoted meme: One day we will have real-time ray tracing, and graphics will be
so much better! This is because many people hold up ray tracing as the solution to realistic lighting and as such, they view current rasterisation
renderers as used in GPUs and consoles today as inherently inferior.
Indeed, according to Wikipedia, rasterisation is not based
on physical light transport and is therefore incapable of correctly simulating many complex real-life lighting situations. Ray tracing, on the other
hand, facilitates more advanced optical effects, such as accurate simulations of reflection and refraction, and is still efficient enough to
frequently be of practical use when such high quality output is sought.
So roll on, real-time ray tracing! Or are there some
caveats that the proponents of ray tracing handily forget to mention?

Steve's health is rapidly declining. Apple is
choosing to remove the hype factor strategically vs letting the hype destroy apple when the inevitable news comes later this spring.

Zune has set up a bin at its

"iPod Amnesty Bin" , which
has on it an image of a bitten
green apple and the words
"Bite me," has been posted
on Flickr. From the looks of

have been willing to give up
their iPods, though a few of
