The future of usability is almost here
Remember Minority Report and the cool way in which Tom Cruise used computers. Or Harry Potter with its video embedded in newspapers?
It’s here – and will cost less than $350
We obsess a fair bit about user interfaces & usability. This TED video from MIT’s Media Labs just blew our mind. Check it out. I promise you’ll be impressed.

All Clouds are not Equal
.
Some time ago, we’d written about David Chappell’s talk on Windows Azure, and why it was different. I’d also mentioned that I’d share the slide deck once I got it from David. Here it is.
(the ppt is cued to slide 27 which is where the fun stuff begins – the comparisons with other platforms. As we said earlier, the ‘neutrality’ with which this was presented was refreshing)

On the Road Again
We recently attended the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference at Houston!
Two interesting things from the conference (that were not directly related to the event itself):
a) The StoreGrid demo we were running during the event had a StoreGrid server running on Amazon EC2 – with storage off Amazon S3. It worked flawlessly! Look out for a Beta of an ‘S3 capable’ StoreGrid – coming soon!
b) We’ve decided to ‘hit the road’ – and attend other relevant tradeshows/events to the extent possible. The best part about the Microsoft event was that it gave us the opportunity to meet many of … Read the rest

Houston, We have a Solution
Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference, 2008 will be held in Houston, Texas between July 7 & 10. The exhibit hall will be open between July 8 & 10 and we’ll be there at Booth no. 1063 (yes its a big event; but no, they don’t have 1000+ booths)!
If you’re attending or if you’ll be in Houston (or thereabouts), it would be great to catch up and put faces to names. I’ll be there and so will Sekar Vembu, our CEO!
