Yahoo Chair Calls Latest Microsoft Bid, 'ludicro PlusYahoo Chair Calls Latest Microsoft Bid, 'ludicroYahoo Chair Calls Latest Microsoft Bid, 'ludicroThe Associated PressYahoo has rejected another offer from Microsoft to buy its online search operations. The company's chairman Roy Bostock said it was 'ludicrous to think that our board would accept such a proposal.' (July 13)Things are getting quite testy between Yahoo and Microsoft. Once again Microsoft has tried to buy Yahoo's search engine And once again, the offer was turned down. According to Yahoo - Microsoft gave the Sunnyvale, California company just 24-hours to respond to their latest offer -- which would have dismantled Yahoo's internet franchise.. In a statement, Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock said, "it is ludicrous to think that our board would accept such a proposal." Bostock also called it 'completely absurd and irresponsible' for refusing to hold any further talks with Yahoo's current management. Microsoft hasn't commented. Yahoo does say it's willing to sell the entire company to the world's largest software maker for roughly 47-billion or 33-dollars a share. Their shares closed at 23-dollars on Friday. Many analysts feel in order to stay competative with internet giant Google -- Yahoo and Microsoft will eventually have to join forces. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Microsoft Surface - The Possibilities http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ What is Microsoft Surface? Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that's easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it's a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live. How does Surface work? At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection. What is surface computing? Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface. Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with. What are the key attributes of surface computing? Surface computing has four key attributes: Direct interaction. Users can actually "grab" digital information with their hands and interact with content by touch and gesture, without the use of a mouse or keyboard. Multi-touch contact. Surface computing recognizes many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen, but up to dozens and dozens of items at once. Multi-user experience. The horizontal form factor makes it easy for several people to gather around surface computers together, providing a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience. Object recognition. Users can place physical objects on the surface to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content.

Microsoft SAM sings about Windows XP A funky, buggy song about XP, sung by XP and produced on XP... I made this in 2004 as an experiment with synthetic vocals and after this actually became some weird musical "interaction" between Sam and me, I sent it to Redmond as a funny example of "start something..." Guess what... they didn't answer... :) All (!) vocals by Microsoft SAM. FAQ: Q: How did you make Sam sing? A: I used the Steinberg Voice Machine VST plugins in the Cubase recording host program. Q: How do you record Sam? A: Set your Windows audio mixer to record either "Wave" or "Speaker" output. Then you can record Sam with any audio recorder program (I recommend the Audacity freeware) Tags: Microsoft SAM Windows XP Gates funny comedy vista computer nonsense rap folklore music |
