Microsoft offers a glimpse into the future of productivity Microsoft has posted an awesome new concept video with some ubercool new interfaces that could be here in five to ten years, estimates Kurt DelBene, President, Microsoft Office Division. That sounds a bit conservative. “All of the ideas in the video are based on real technology,” he said. “Some of the capabilities, such as speech recognition, real time collaboration, and data visualization, already exist today. Others are not yet available in specific products, but represent active research and development happening at Microsoft and other companies.” “Other companies” — hmm, some of the concepts look a bit like Nokia’s visionary Morph concept tech (see the video at the bottom of this post and our 2010 news item).

What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. 1.

Timeline of the Universe | Future Collision Andromeda | Future | Timeline The hypernova of Eta Carinae is affecting our region of the galaxy Eta Carinae is among the largest, most volatile stars in our galaxy. Its temperature is so high that it is unable to hold onto its own gas, with constant streams being ejected from the surface. It first came to attention in 1843 when it flared to magnitude -0.8, becoming the second brightest star in the night sky. It subsequently died down, before brightening again in the late 1990s. For a brief period, this colossal explosion outshines the entire galaxy. Of much greater concern, however, are the lethal jets of gamma radiation released by the dying star.
