Bill Gates - Looking Back, Moving Ahead

October 1, 2008

 
Just today I was looking for some Microsoft videos related to MMS 2008 when I located some video gems about Bill Gates and his history at Microsoft.  The Microsoft web site is providing a collection of videos for use with the press.  The primary video revolves around Bill Gates.  It contains some very interesting new [...]

Shawn Bass at Geek Speak Live 2008

September 10, 2008

Earlier this year, Citrix created a new track as part of Citrix Synergy in Houston.  This track, which was called “Geek Speak Live”, was intended to address the more technical aspects of Citrix products.  Not only that, it was intended to be largely driven by outside speakers.
The new model was very successful and addressed a [...]

The Next 5000 Days of the Web

August 27, 2008

Last year Kevin Kelly gave a presentation about the next 5000 days of the web.  His views are based on what happened in the first 5000 days (roughly 13 1/2 years).  The profile for Kevin reveals a very thoughtful man.  He is in a good position to imagine what the future will bring.
Instead of talking [...]

Irresistible Forces and Movable Objects

June 2, 2008

Pat Helland from Microsoft gave a presentation last year at TechEd in EMEA called “The Irresistable Forces Meet the Movable Objects“. I received a copy from Kala at work. Not long after reading it I wanted to find out more. This lead to finding the video version. Click on the link [...]

BitLocker Overview

May 22, 2008

BitLocker gets mentioned more and more lately.  I understood the concept but didn’t know the details.  While looking for something else, I can across a great video about BitLocker technology from Microsoft.  Also Wikipedia has a BitLocker page.
I didn’t know that BitLocker could use TPM.  I also didn’t know that Microsoft had invested so much [...]

Good to Great Video Explanation

May 20, 2008

This is where understanding “Good to Great” should get a whole lot easier.  If you have an hour to spare and are curious but don’t feel like reading the book yet, watch this video.  Charlie Rose, famous on PBS in America, interviews Jim Collins and covers the “Good to Great” topics [...]

Knowledge Navigator

May 18, 2008

The recent post about the “Starfire” video led to the discovery of the “Knowledge Navigator” video.  This video by Apple predates the “Starfire” version from Sun by six years.  Considering that it was built twenty years ago, it is very interesting.
Some of the technology has arrived (like flat screens and video [...]

Starfire Video

May 16, 2008

Yet another surprise today.  I found a video produced by a team at Sun in 1994.  It is in a similar format and style to the internally famous “Virtual Workplace” video produced in 2001.  It is called the “Starfire” video and it tries to capture what will be available in 2004.
It is extremely well produced.  [...]

Macintosh Introduction Video 1984

April 3, 2008

This particular video is very inspirational.  It is rare that such an event happens and even more rare when all the hype is actually true.  Introduction of the Mac was a point of history that continues to be strong.  It became the first viable and popular graphical user interface computer.  It did not take long [...]
