During the annual Japanese Microsoft Developers Forum, the public was able to get its first glimpse at the new Windows Phone 7.5 OS, which has been in development for quite some time. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer believes that the ‘Mango’ OS will help the company to reassert its dominance in the mobile market. The Windows Phone 7 was met with both harsh criticisms as well as a lukewarm reception by devoted Microsoft fans. As an innovator in the technology sector, Microsoft is expected to deliver innovative designs with every new product line that is introduced.
In the smart phone world, iPhone may be king for now, but Microsoft has a really good chance of taking over with the new planned updates. Ballmer promises more than 500 new features on the ‘Mango’ OS. He didn’t go into a lot of details about specifics, but he did promise that the new OS would change the way that smart phone users communicate in the future.
Microsoft is planning a huge global launch in which Window Phone 7 owners will have the ability to be amongst the first to try out the new OS. There have been rumors surrounding the recent acquisition of Skype, as well as the direction that Microsoft plans on taking the company into. It is possible that the new ‘Mango’ OS will make use of Skype’s video chat based platform, but only time will tell what Microsoft has managed to come up with. No official release date has been set, …

Buyers Lining Up To Buy iPad 2 For Business Not Pleasure
March 17th, 2011 admin Like nearly other Apple product, consumers knew that the iPad 2 would be sold out nearly as soon as it was released. True to form, buyers were standing on line for hours just to get their hands on the coveted iPad 2 in the few hours that it was available. Some of the buyers wanted the iPad 2 to give to a relative, or just to add it to their growing collections of Apple products. What isn’t surprising is that many buyers were planning on flipping their purchases and making a profit.
Although it isn’t the holiday season the iPad 2 is still in high demand. Some people that Apple strategically offers a small amount of new products so that they can purposely be sold out within hours. This move insures that consumers will do whatever they have to in order to get their products. The plan has worked so well that consumers now have the chance to turn a profit. The iPad 2 can be found on auction websites and even classified ads being sold for two to three times the retail value. There is no way to tell how many of these electronic devices have been sold at a markup, but apparently this is a big business. Strangely enough, it seems that some consumers would rather pay a premium price for the iPad 2 rather than to backorder it and wait for it to arrive in a few weeks.

Major Baseball League May Be Able To Prevent Injuries With Kinect Technology
November 17th, 2010 admin Most baseball teams allocate the bulk of their budgets to paying salaries, medical expenses and acquiring new players. In all actuality, paying a top surgeon to repair a pitcher’s throwing arm is still less than penning a new contract with a fresh player. This may be why only three teams in all of major baseball have invested in biomechanical analysis technology – a measure that could help prevent injuries. For most teams the gamble pays off, but if a star player is injured management must scramble for a suitable replacement. And that usually means paying big bucks. Long story short – as long as it is cheaper to replace injured players than it is to invest in biometrics systems, most teams won’t be changing their strategies.
After Microsoft unveiled the newest addition to the Xbox 360, instant potential was seen in this inexpensive technology for the purpose of movement simulation and analysis in baseball. The Kinect already utilizes a no frills version of what many technologically advanced biomechanical departments make use of. The Kinect’s infrared camera works by spacial displacement, which works to track a subject’s movement and send that data back to the console. For Microsoft, the gamer transforms into the controller itself, but for baseball, this could be a major breakthrough. If major league baseball makes the initial investment in biometric software development, it will no longer to cheaper to replace injured players rather when compared to preventative measures. The Kinect in it’s current form already has the …
