The Zune, ballmer and Microsoft

Fear not, Zune lovers, your beloved media player isn't going anywhere just yet. Interviewed at the McGraw-Hill media conference, Microsoft's head honcho Steve Ballmer said that the hardware will continue to improve, but reaffirmed that its future may be as software / ecosystem found on other devices. "I won't say full steam ahead because that implies acceleration of investment," he said, "but we're going to sustain our investment." It's unclear from the transcription -- much of it paraphrased by The Wall Street Journal -- whether or not Ballmer had given any indication as to the future of the hardware itself. Of course, should one of those mentioned hardware improvements managed to take a notable bite out of Apple's iPod business, we reckon those investments will see an uptick. We've already heard that the service would find its way on non-Zune devices sometime this year, but mum's still the word on any details thereof.

This reminds that years ago he made a comment about iphone and the opening on the microsoft annual event.

i think he is acting the users when their PC is crushing down






Microsoft always want to compete with their biggest rival, the Apple.

However, their are totally different in the business field in my opinion.

Microsoft is a software developer. Apple is a computer company and their device carries their own OS.

free phone calls

Skype is coming to the iPhone, perhaps as soon as next week.

Everyone's favorite P2P voice and IM client, which has already been downloaded more than 405 million times, is getting set to release an iPhone version of its uber-popular service that could revolutionize VOIP mobile calls.

Skype, which recently became the world's largest long-distance phone company, could make the announcement at the CTIA Wireless event in Las Vegas next Wednesday.

But wait! If this makes it to the iPod Touch, wouldn't that make it into a cheaper Skype-driven VOIP pseudo-iPhone?

Think on that for a minute — then get ready to start making some free calls.

Article review:The Inner Beauty of a McNugget: A Cultural Scan

Doctors and researchers regularly rely on CT scanners to create images of body parts like brains, chests and knees. But an artist-turned-medical-student in Manhattan is using one such machine to peer into the meat and guts of cultural icons like the Big Mac, the Barbie and the iPhone, creating whimsical and occasionally creepy images.

Unlike a physician, he is not looking mainly for pathologies. Yet on some level, his work allows viewers to diagnose cultural objects, finding ominous or surprising details within them. This is inevitable, he said, given the association between CT scanners and medicine.

Still, he also aims to create images that are simply arresting, he added.

Formerly an art professor at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, Mr. Stuelke is now a third-year medical student at Weill Cornell Medical College. Since 2007, he has scanned dozens of objects in a CT scanner owned by the Biomedical Imaging Center at Weill Cornell. (The center donates scanner time.)

When an object is scanned, the machine produces 200 to 500 image slices. Mr. Stuelke loads this data into a computer program that allows him to assign different colors to areas of different density. Mr. Stuelke’s results include a Barbie with flaming orange hair and articulated white leg bones; a skeletal iPhone with a dizzying array of connections that resemble a fantastical, tricked-out city; and a translucent wind-up bunny whose internal mechanisms are disturbingly reminiscent of a bomb.

Mr. Stuelke was inspired by the work of Robert Heineken, a photographer known in part for whimsical images of food. Mr. Stuelke’s first scan, in 2007, was of a thawed TV dinner. More recently, he has created a Big Mac that features bright yellow sesame seeds on the bun and yellow glue spots, which mark where the box is held together, as well as a box of chicken nuggets.

The work is on display at www.radiologyart.com.

Critics may ask whether these images offer more than sumptuous, high-tech eye candy, and Mr. Stuelke does not necessarily resist that interpretation. “Some of them are just beautiful,” he said. “I mean, who knew a bunch of chicken nuggets could be gorgeous?”

guide me home and have something to eat

This is a solar powered birdhouse designed by the Studio OOOMS


During the day sunlight feeds the solar panel, charging a small battery inside.

At twilight the transparent stick will light up and cast a tiny light on your garden.

This light attracts an easy nighttime snack for the bird; all she has to do is stick her beak out of the hole and wait for the buzz.

OLPC-toting Rwandan students flock to airport for free WiFi

OLPC may be facing some tough times as of late, but there's no denying that the little-laptop-that-could has made an impact where it's been distributed, as evidenced by this latest indication of the project's reach in Rwanda. Apparently, in addition to helping students with their schoolwork, the laptop is also teaching them the fine art of finding free WiFi, and this particular group seems to have quickly discovered that the Kigali International Airport is one of the best spots in town. And just what are they using the laptops to look up in their time outside the classroom? Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme, who, coincidentally, also brings the world together in his own special way.

Speaker in the remotecontrol

Via OhGizmo

Well, here's a novel concept. Rather than bothering with turning up the volume on your ancient television, just crank up the volume on this here remote. Asahi Electric's block-shaped remote is about as unergonomic as it gets, and it sure won't bring along any advanced functionality, but we suppose that's sort of the point. The 30mm speaker connects to a wireless transceiver in order to blast out the audio, and while most everything else is lost in translation, do you really need to understand any more?

the concept for build 3D models are so cool.

Wish building 3D model could be that easy!!

Houston, we had a cup of coffee

Astronaut Donald Pettit loves his morning coffee, but it just wasn't the same drinking it out of an aluminum bag as he soared above the earth on Space Shuttle mission STS-126. That's when he invented the On-Orbit Coffee Cup, rendered here by designer Travis Baldwin.

Take a look at the gallery below to see how the cup works using surface tension, that same attractive property that allows soap to lift grease and dirt from your body, and lets you fill a glass of water fuller than its top. Drinking coffee in orbit will never be the same, just in time for that Fishbowl Spaceship tour we're planning.
