Microsoft Surface shows the power of WPF
 One of my favorite movies is "Minority Report". I used to be fascinated with the technology shown in the movie where everything was controlled with hands. Well its not too far we would be using such technology. Earlier it was UMPC and some of the smartphones that had touch technology, but with "Surface" Microsoft is going to change the way we work. Microsoft announced that it will ship a new table-based computer called Surface, code-named Milan. Surface has been a result of six years of research.  Surface features a 30-inch tabletop display whose unique abilities allow for several people to work independently or simultaneously. All the work can be done without using a mouse or a keyboard.  With Surface it becomes easier to transfer music to your digital music player like Zune. transferring photos to your cellphone also has become much easier. Just imagine company meetings taking place on "Surface" where everyone can contribute in the discussion which can be recorded and used for future purposes. This way company discussions can be more interactive and will take less time to take decisions as all resources will be available on table itself. Surface will be a big boon for industries where any product can be displayed to the customer using surface where he/she can experience the product before buying it. It would be so cool that the payment can be made by placing the card on the "surface" and authorizing the payment.
As mentioned by Robert Scoble the interface has been designed using WPF. This really shows the power of WPF and what can be done with it.
All the information regarding Microsoft Surface can be found at www.microsoft.com/surface.

Clash of the Titans
  The big day has arrived. Everyone knew that Australia will
surely make it into semis, so will South Africa. It was not as easier for South
Africa as for Australia. Today is the day when Australia takes on South Africa.
No cricket fan can forget the semi final match of
South Africa Vs Australia. It was one of the best semifinals I have ever seen.
I am sure today's match is going as exciting as the 1999 match.
Both sides have mighty batsman and bowlers who can turn around the whole
match. Australia has Mathew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist. South Africa has
Herschelle Gibbs and Graeme Smith. When it comes to handle the pressure innings
with care Australia has Ricky Ponting, south Africa has Jack Kallis.
I expect this match to be the best match of the whole tournament.
Let the best team win. Ofcourse whoever wins will have to face the mighty bowlers of Sri Lanka like Chaminda Vaas, Mallinga, Muralidharan. After watching the semifinal of Sri Lanka and Newzealand its seems its very difficult to beat Sri Lanka. Their mission seems to be very clear. Its "World Cup".

Microsoft bridging the Digital Divide
 Microsoft began with a dream of a PC on everydesk and in every home. Thirty years ago this seemed impossible. Today it has reached more than one billion people. Now it aims to reach next 5 billion people under the Microsoft Unlimited Potential program.  As reported by News.com, in Beijing Bill Gates unveiled a new low-cost bundle of Office and Windows. Microsoft will offer the $3 Student Innovation Suite to governments that agree to directly purchase PCs for students to use in their schoolwork and at home. The collection of software, which starts shipping in the second half of this year includes Windows Xp Started Edition, Office Home and Student 2007, Windows Live Mail Desktop and several educational products. The $3 price includes the software license. In order to be eligible, governments must pick up at least half of the tab for the PC, though the software can also be used on refurbished computers, which can cost as little as $50. Microsoft is expecting these programs and others will help it reach more than 5 billion people who have yet to benefit from the PC revolution. Microsoft is also announcing several other projects. It will nearly double to 200, the number of local innovation centers it has over the next two years. Microsoft will also set up an employability portal aimed at helping more of India’s technology workers find jobs. It is working with the Asian Development Bank to help build additional technology capacity.
