Running a little late getting this round-up out tonight as I’ve been heads down figuring out video type stuff in preparation for our new video show that will be launching Sept. 1st.
Microsoft:
- Microsoft, Who Supports Software Patents, Now Asks Supreme Court To Help It Against Patent Holder – Techdirt
Microsoft, who has become a strongly pro-software patent company (despite Bill Gates’ old claim that patents would have harmed the software industry in the early days), is finding out (yet again) that such a stance can come back to bite you - Microsoft Research takes a second look at multi-touch mice interaction – Long Zheng
Bringing multi-touch technology to the desktop mice might seem trivial but Microsoft Research doesn’t just want to stop at a couple gestures - Are routerless datacenters in Microsoft’s future? – Mary Jo Foley
Microsoft Research is exploring a new way to connect servers directly to other servers, without the use of any switches or dedicated networking inside a datacenter container - New Xbox 360 Wireless controller featuring a transforming D-Pad – Major Nelson
We’ve just made the Xbox 360 Wireless controller even better with a brand new version that includes a transforming D-pad - How Microsoft Research foresaw Google’s ‘Priority Inbox’ feature – TechFlash
It’s not uncommon for me to hear about some new technology product or feature, from some company other than Microsoft, and realize that it sounds very similar to something I’ve covered before.
Windows Phone 7:
- Scansearch Augmented reality app coming to Windows Phone 7 – WMPoweruser
Today’s leak of the LG Optimus 7 has revealed more than the looks of the device and processor speed. - Windows Phone 7 is pulling in to the platform – Steve Clayton
I’ve read a few interesting blogs today that got me thinking about the platform nature of Microsoft’s business and in particular Windows Phone 7 - WP7 Launch Devices Will Out-Number Palm, Apple, & Google – pocketnow.com
There are a few doom & gloom news articles out there right now talking about failure for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system based on the news that only 3 companies will be releasing devices on launch day.
