BIll Gates Retiring
other than being rich and benevolent,
Bill has made various important contribution to the IT world,
- Open Platform: while everyone was saying MS is not a Open company,
it is important to note that MS has actually executed "Openness" very successfully
in a few important turn of the IT World.
a. IBM PC motherboard, MS DOS
b. MSDOS allowing any software to develop on
c. Windows allowing any software to develop on - MS Excel, the first graphic spreadsheet and the Office suite
- building the software business model
- Embrace and extend the Internet, quickly accept the Internet business model and beat Netscape at its own game
- Persistence (sometimes), IE beating Netscape, MSN beating ICQ
- Innovation is for a smaller niche market, how to make things for the mass is the most important name of the game
Apple never learns this with the Mac, but its coming back through iPod and iPhone.. we will see how that fights out
but without Bill this time
However, in the later part of his career,
there are few important things that MS cannot do, that's affecting its future perspect
- Innovation can change the world, MS's in ability to come up with a answer to Google actually shows that it never learns
how to working in the Internet world.. always coming 2nd.. - too slow to enter the Mobile market
- too slow to enter the Mobile email market
- too slow to adopt to software rental model
- business software market, product getting obscure and too many names, showing no focus
i'd say Bill's contribution are revolutionary, esp during the early part of the IT/Software industry
and the short coming of MS in the last 5-10 years are just the fact that the world has changed too fast
and the ability of the finance market to drive innovation beyond one company
and that it's not possible to be good at every facet of every industry..

Death Star Lego Movie, way cool
way cool...
but no space for this thing..
and it cost more than a 3G iphone!!
KDDi rolls out Toshiba Sportio W62T cellphone
ER: cool girl, not necessarily the coolest phone.. a runner's phone?
We caught a brief glimpse of Toshiba's Sportio W62T when KDDi announced its vast summer 2008 lineup of phones, but the Japanese carrier is just now giving the handset its proper due with an official launch. As the rather unfortunate name suggests, this one's intended to help you out in your various athletic endeavors, with it packing an accelerometer and built-in GPS to keep track of how many steps you take and how far you've gone, as well as how many calories you've burned. As if that wasn't enough, you'll also apparently be able to "compose music" by jogging along to special tracks. Otherwise, you can expect a 2.2-inch 240 x 320 display, a built-in 1seg TV tuner, a 2-megapixel camera, and built-in Bluetooth -- no word on a price just yet though.

Britain Launches Final Real-Life Skynet Satellite, Dubs it Skynet with No Sense of Irony [Bad News]
ER: Skynet really coming?
now that the Western world is investing so fast on robot weapons (remote control mostly for now)
we are really not far from these things becoming real...
scary..
The UK has just sent up a new communications satellite that's completed their Skynet, the highly-advanced network that's going to give them the ability to allow robotic military units at long range. You know, like in the apocalyptic vision of the future from the Terminator movies. The network's name in those movies? Skynet. Have you learned nothing, England?!
The system allows for communication both in the voice and data variety between basically any unit of the British Armed Forces, including computers talking to computers, probably about how best to murder their makers. For example, a base computer in cheery old London can communicate with the "Reaper," a robotic spy drone in Afghanistan, retrieving data and telling it where to go, and transmitting live video over the connection from the UAV. The sat also has solar sails which extend its life to 15 years, a special anti-jamming antenna is set on the receive side, while 4 steerable antennas can be aimed in a single spot to concentrate broadcasting ability.
Even worse is the fact that the whole thing is privately owned, with the British Armed Forces only promised a portion of the bandwidth rather than having control over the whole thing.
All I know is that we've got to protect John Conner at all costs, wherever he may be. [BBC via io9]

Apple MobileMe Official: Sync For the "Rest of Us" [Wwdc 08]
Er: this thing is so much like the Virtual Desktop that Magically has done in 2000.
i actually think my patents still apply in these areas and covers what Mobileme do..
;-) http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6571245.html
Apple has just unveiled mobileme, "Exchange for the rest of us." It gives push email to regular users and syncs all of your data from Mail, iCal, iDisk and Address book to all your devices at once. It works via a new site, me.com (which isn't up as of now). Me.com replaces .Mac and it'll be an automatic update for current .Mac customers.
It's pretty similar to Microsoft's Mesh software. Essentially, it allows you to do things like make appointments on your phone and have them sync your computer and vice versa, and the updates happen in about 10 seconds. The service will cost you $99 a year for 20GB of space, and there'll be a 60 day free trial available at launch in early July.
from Gizmodo.Apple Introduces MobileMe Internet Service
Push Email, Push Contacts and Push Calendar for iPhone, iPod touch, Macs and PCs
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple(R) today introduced MobileMe(TM), a new Internet service that delivers push email, push contacts and push calendars from the MobileMe service in the "cloud" to native applications on iPhone(TM), iPod(R) touch, Macs and PCs. MobileMe also provides a suite of elegant, ad-free web applications that deliver a desktop-like experience through any modern browser. MobileMe applications (http://www.me.com) include Mail, Contacts and Calendar, as well as Gallery for viewing and sharing photos and iDisk for storing and exchanging documents online. "Think of MobileMe as 'Exchange for the rest of us,'" said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Now users who are not part of an enterprise that runs Exchange can get the same push email, push calendars and push contacts that the big guys get." With a MobileMe email account, all folders, messages and status indicators look identical whether checking email on iPhone, iPod touch, a Mac(R) or a PC. New email messages are pushed instantly to iPhone over the cellular network or Wi-Fi, removing the need to manually check email and wait for downloads. Push also keeps contacts and calendars continuously up-to-date so changes made on one device are automatically pushed up to the cloud and down to other devices. Push works with the native applications on iPhone and iPod touch, Microsoft Outlook for the PC, and Mac OS(R) X applications, Mail, Address Book and iCal(R), as well as the MobileMe web application suite.
MobileMe web applications are 100 percent ad-free and provide an incredible, desktop-like experience that allows users to drag and drop, click and drag and even use keyboard shortcuts. MobileMe provides anywhere access to Mail, Contacts and Calendar, with a unified interface that allows users to switch between applications with a single click, and Gallery makes it easy to share photos on the web in stunning quality. Gallery users can upload, rearrange, rotate and title photos from any browser; post photos directly from an iPhone; allow visitors to download print quality images; and contribute photos to an album. MobileMe iDisk lets users store and manage files online with drag and drop filing and makes it easy to share documents too large to email by automatically sending an email with a link for downloading the file. MobileMe includes 20GB of online storage that can be used for email, contacts, calendar, photos, movies and documents.
Pricing & Availability MobileMe, available on July 11, is a subscription-based service with 20GB of storage for $99 (US) per year for individuals and $149 (US) for a Family Pack, which includes one master account with 20GB of storage and four Family Member accounts with 5GB of storage each. Users can sign up for a free, 60-day MobileMe trial at http://www.apple.com/mobileme and current .Mac members will be automatically upgraded to MobileMe accounts. MobileMe subscribers can purchase an additional 20GB of storage for $49 (US) or 40GB of storage for $99 (US) annually. Using an iPhone or iPod touch with MobileMe requires iPhone 2.0 software and iTunes(R) 7.7 or later. For use with a Mac, MobileMe requires Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 or the latest version of Mac OS X Leopard. For a PC, MobileMe requires Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP2), and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later is recommended. MobileMe is accessible on the web via Safari(R) 3, Internet Explorer 7, and Firefox 2 or later. Internet access requires a compatible ISP; fees may apply. Broadband Internet connection recommended. Some features require Mac OS X Leopard and iLife(R) '08, available separately.

Panasonic has released a special version of its HDC-S7 camcorder dedicated to the coming Olympic Games, the HDC-SDK8. Specifications remain the same as the original version: our SDK8 records videos in full HD (1920x1080) on SDHC cards, and features a CCD 1/1.6''a 10x optical zoom, a Leica lens, and a 2.7''screen. It measures 56 x87x110mm and weighs approximately 310g.
This new camera will be available at just 150 units and will cost 780€. 
SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone
This is good! couldnt wait for it!
We had a feeling it was coming any day now, but now we have confirmation that Sling won't be leaving iPhone and iPod touch users in the lurch when it comes to streaming TV to their devices. The bad news is the software they showed us was pre-alpha proof-of-concept, and their whole situation is hamstrung by the fact that Apple hasn't officially accepted them into the developer program yet. So what we've seen is basically an app developed out of bounds for jailbroken devices -- thus it goes without saying that Sling won't be releasing it until they can do so legitimately. But assuming all goes well, they do intend to get it out the door by sometime this fall or winter. No word yet on the Android release. Video of the app in action after the break.
