Microsoft Photo Fuse Feature

Microsoft is rolling out some new enhancements to Windows Live Essentials Suite. Some people will get really excited hearing this, but many changes are minor. One thing really got me going and that was a new feature in Photo Gallery, called Photo Fuse.

Everyone has the problem in which you take some pictures of a group of people. When you look @ the picture later, you see that one person has his eyes closed and another is looking down and so on.
To get a good picture you could get a photo editing program and start cutting of people heads and then pasting them on another picture to get some good results. A hell of a job…

Photo Fuse to the rescue…awesome

Bing Maps Beta – Map apps

Wow, this is nice.

I’ve been exploring Bing Maps (beta), and just found the Map Apps.
A really cool feature.

Just open Bing Maps (beta), then on the bottom left, click the arrow. The following screen will appear:

For example, click Twitter Maps. You will now see tweets appearing on your map.

Photosynth, is also a cool feature to explore.
Real nice work team Bing :-) . Some things aren’t implemented yet in Europe, but still really nice.

Microsoft demonstrates future Computing

Craig Mundie shows off some nice futuristic computing. The latter one keeps getting closer to a movie with Tom Cruise, and I guess that kind of arm stretching mr. Mundie does also prevents RSI and back injuries :-)

In this tour he demonstrates Microsoft Computational Science Studio (MSCSS), “a tool for enabling non-programmer scientists and researchers to harness vast amounts of storage and compute power for running the multi-scale models that are needed to truly understand and predict complex natural systems.”

What is Windows Azure

If you would put a tag cloud around Cloud Computing, one tag would definitely be Microsoft’s Windows Azure. If you don’t understand what Azure is, see this video:

Microsoft 2019 video: what technology is used

A lot of people have seen this video I presume (lower your volume cause this video starts with an annoying sound):

Now let’s analyze this video, and see what technology is used behind this video:
