8.10.2008 Office 12 to Feature 'Super Tooltips'
Tooltips, those little yellow popup boxes that provide information on a button or menu option, have become an indispensable part of the modern user interface. Now, Microsoft is looking to extend their usefulness by introducing what it calls "Super Tooltips" in the upcoming release of Office 12.
The next-generation Office suite from Microsoft is already slated to bring a major UI makeover. Standard toolbars have been replaced with task-oriented "Ribbons" that include features pertinent to the current job. But such a change will require a learning curve, which is where the new larger tooltips come in.

24.8.2006 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."

without Apple, the computer

21.10.2008Experimental Super 3G network could reach 300Mbps
Japan-based NTT DoCoMo
announced today that it plans
to begin testing on an
experimental "Super 3G"
system for extra-high-speed
data on mobile devices.
The country's largest
mobile carrier said that it
hopes to achieve an impressive
300Mbps down in its tests over
the wireless network. The
company has already begun
accepting proposals from
suppliers and hopes to
implement the Super 3G system
in Japan by 2009.
The
company said that it planned
to start experimenting with
Super 3G in an indoor setting
with only one transmitting
antenna and one receiving
antenna. From there, NTT
DoCoMo plans to expand the
experiment by using four
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
(MIMO) antennas on both the
transmitting and receiving
side. The ultimate goal will
be not only to achieve 300Mbps
down but also to look at how
well handovers will be handled
between towers.

inch of the field uncovered. First off there will be "400 on-site production and engineering personnel" and they have put down over 50 miles of
fiber optic cable. There will be 35 high end Sony cameras using Cannon lenses to make sure every inch of game play is covered. Cameras will be
placed on everything from goal posts to outside the locker-rooms.

01.02.2009EU Official: IP Addresses are Personal Information
IP addresses, string of numbers that identify computers on the Internet, should generally be regarded as personal information, the head of the
European Union's group of data privacy regulators said Monday. Germany's data protection commissioner, Peter Scharr, leads the EU group
preparing a report on how well the privacy policies of Internet search engines operated by Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and others comply
with EU privacy law. He told a European Parliament hearing on online data protection that when someone is identified by an IP, or Internet protocol,
address "then it has to be regarded as personal data." His view differs from that of Google, which insists an IP address merely identifies the
location of a computer, not who the individual user is - something strictly true but which does not recognize that many people regularly use the same
computer terminal and IP address.

06.02.2006Download Uproar: Record Industry Goes After Personal Use
Despite more than 20,000 lawsuits filed against music fans in the years since they started finding free tunes online rather than buying CDs from
record companies, the recording industry has utterly failed to halt the decline of the record album or the rise of digital music sharing. But in an
unusual case in which an Arizona recipient of an RIAA letter has fought back in court rather than write a check to avoid hefty legal fees, the
industry is taking its argument against music sharing one step further: in legal documents in its federal case against Jeffrey Howell, a Scottsdale,
Ariz., man who kept a collection of about 2,000 music recordings on his personal computer, the industry maintains that it is illegal for someone who
has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer.

30.01.2009Researchers Craft HDTV's Successor
High-definition TV may
still be far from the norm in
many countries, but that
isn't stopping engineers at
Japan's public broadcaster
from pushing ahead with
development of Super
Hi-Vision, a system they hope
will eventually replace HDTV.
Last week engineers at NHK's
(Nippon Hoso Kyokai) Science
and Technical Research
Laboratories showed off their
most recent work on the
technology.
A Super Hi-Vision (SHV)
picture is made up of 4,320
horizontal picture lines and
7,680 vertical lines. That's
four times the horizontal and
vertical resolution of current
HDTV or, put another way, a
single Super Hi-Vision image
is equivalent to 16 tiled HDTV
screens.
In the year
since it was last
demonstrated, the company has
developed an image sensor for
use in TV cameras that can
shoot an entire SHV screen...

29.05.2007Download the first 100 issues of Computer Gaming World free!
As some of you may or may
not know, Computer Gaming
World is dead. November's
issue of CGW is the last issue
ever for the magazine, at
least with that name. In
December's issue, the
magazine relaunches with the
new super cool name of
Games for Windows: The
Official Magazine. I
posted about this story awhile
back, but I saw this and
thought, wow now that is way
cool. Seems some of the
editors decided to take the
first 100 issues of CGW and
put them in PDF format for
everyone to download and
enjoy. Now you can download
the first 100 issues and read
them all you want, but they
also have every single
magazine cover as well, though
after issue 100 obviously
there is no content besides
the cover. I do not know if
they plan on converting the
rest of the issues and
uploading them, but I assume
eventually it will
happen.
For those that have never
heard of CGW, or aren't up to
snuff with PC gaming
magazines, Computer Gaming
World was first launched back
in November 1981. Since then
they have published 268
issues, and they have seen
every change that has ever
happened in the PC gaming
industry first hand. From the
Atari to the Apple II all the
way to current super high end
rigs, they've seen it all,
and covered it all. So if you
are a fan of CGW, or if you
are just interested in the
wonderful history of PC
gaming, check the issues out.
Just be warned, if you want to
download all 100 issues, be
prepared for a rather long
read.

Dells All-in-One PC Has the Guts, Design To Compete With iMac
Something interesting is going on at Dell. The Texas personal-computer behemoth, long associated with boxy, boring machines, has started emphasizing
industrial design. And the company, which in recent years seemed to care only about corporate customers, techies and hard-core gamers, appears once
again interested in average, mainstream consumers who value simplicity.
The most tangible example of this new approach is Dells
XPS One desktop an elegant, handsome, cleverly designed one-piece computer. If it didnt have the Dell logo on it, the XPS One might be mistaken for a
product of the PC industrys design leaders, Apple or Sony.
