2007-10-12 00:03 SETI's Search for ET Goes Exponential
SETI's hunt for ET is revving up to warp speed, thanks largely to an infusion of $25 million from Seattle's most famous science-fiction fan, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Allen will join scientists from SETI the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence to unveil the Allen Telescope Array devoted to answering the question: Is anyone out there The observatory consists of an array of 42 radio dishes perched atop a volcanic plateau in Hat Creek, 300 miles northeast of San Francisco. "It's the lon …

2007-09-17 16:34 No one survives the European Inquisition
Sorry to bastardize a line from Monty Python. But there's no way to sugar-coat it; MSFT got clocked in Europe today. That was a loss of staggering proportions. Where most had expected a split-decision - myself included, the Court of First Instance upheld virtually the entire EU Commission case: The Court of First Instance essentially upholds the Commission's decision finding that Microsoft abused its dominant position," a court statement said. As a result, the judgments on both bundling and inte …

2007-09-04 13:55 Dumbing Down OpenXML Quandry
Unless you ve been under a rock you are aware of Microsoft s attempts to certify their Open XML implementation as an ISO standard. On the face of it, its hard to understand why this issue could raise so many conversations and threads over the web so allow me to dumb down the case for you and explain what all the acronyms stand for. Most people know what BBB in USA is and what it claims to be. BBB or Better Business Bureau claims to be an organization that rewards and punishes businesses based on …

2007-09-03 09:46 Hack your iPhone: back up your data
If you want to hack your iPhone, be prepared for the notion that you can lose all your data or (worst case) turn your iPhone into a useless brick - thus the origin of the word "bricking" a device. Normally if things go awry, the worst that will happen is that you have to restore your iPhone to its initial pristine state. That means that you'd lose your settings and data on the iPhone. So before proceeding with hacking your iPhone, make sure you save off your data as follows. Windows users - Back …

Note the news about anime fans facing RIAA style lawsuits overseas, Microsoft & Google joining forces behind the 'Fair Use' campaign, the DIY Convention website goes live, and an in-depth discussion about the "Historical Basis Behind Copyright Law'. Although we aim to be as comprehensive as possible, with categories as broad as these it is inevitable that some vids will be overlooked.

2007-08-27 07:52 ASP.NET Hang scenario: Kernel Debugging for Dummies
A local radio show has started giving out cookie points to their interviewees for personal development, and the other day my coworker decided to give me one for debugging a perf issue in kernel-mode... YAY!!! Having debugging as a profession, you might have thought that I would have done a lot of kernel debugging, but since I deal mostly with ASP.NET and .NET development most of our issues are in usermode so there is rarely a need to debug the kernel (drivers etc.). In fact, I have only debug …

2007-08-22 13:21 PainlessSVN - MMC v3.0 utility for managing your Subversion repositories
[via Larkware ] Now this looks very promising for those of us Microsoft-headed folks. I use Subversion for all my source control but one thing I've never been totally comfortable with is the fact that if it broke, I really don't know how to get in and fix stuff. More importantly, I don't create new or manage existing repositories and such because I'm scared (yes, scared) I'll break something so I've got everything in one repository. Hey, it works, it's being backed up... I should be cool. This g …

2007-08-20 14:07 Microsoft Emerging Business Team helps startups build partnerships
Microsoft's Emerging Business Team is led by Dan'l Lewin with a charter to help startups build meaningful partnerships with Microsoft. Dan'l was interviewed recently by Tom Foremski, founder of SiliconValleyWatcher. The video interview is hosted at PodTech. In the interview Dan'l talks about Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus with over 2,000 employees from groups like xBox, Hotmail, TellMe Networks, IP TV, Live Search, and Microsoft Research. Dan'l also talks about how the Emerging Business Te …

2007-08-20 12:07 Microsoft says Brand Search Ads a Waste of Money - Show Me the ROI!
I have to chime on this since the timing of this Microsoft release and SES is not coincidence. It's certainly attention grabbing but I think it's almost irresponsible to make these claims without the right data to support them. In an article backed with little ROI data Microsoft/ Atlas is saying that it is a waste of money to put ads on your branded queries. This runs counter to my own extensive research that I'll be presenting at SES and I've posted before. My research is backed up with convers …

2007-08-20 02:32 Setting up a virtual Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
Although it has its share of issues, I am a big fan of Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (known as TFS for short). Often you'll see people only leverage it for a source code repository, but if that's all you are using it for then you are missing out. In addition to storing source code, TFS also supports: Code analysis Build automation Support for continuous integration Automated testing Reporting Project tracking I have found TFS to a very useful tool for all my custom development proj …

2007-08-20 02:00 Sign Of The Times: Bashcraft's 360 Finally Dies (How's Yours)
The exciting and inevitable conclusion to the my-Xbox-360-starting-freezing post! On Saturday night, after playing the BioShock demo to death, I decided to fire up some Gears of War. I played for ten minutes and then it moved on from this world, leaving Red Rings of Death as a memento. To recap: I got the "checkerboard effect," and the next time I switched on a disc-based game, the box konked out. So Xbox Live Arcade games and free demos could be the answer to Microsoft's hardware woes! Or somet …

2007-08-17 13:44 Windows Live ID CardSpace Support
Finally you can sign-in to sites that support Windows Live ID i.e. any Microsoft site, using an Information Card. Hopefully after this kind of commitment from Microsoft we will start seeing more sites add support for Information Cards. Like OpenID it would only be really successful once there are enough consumer sites (or relying parties to be specific) that supports the technology. The next step would be if Windows Live would become an Identity Provider and allow users to download Windows Live …
