在9月，尼克 blogged 大約二新的LifeCams從微軟硬件： VX-7000和NX-3000。 最近，我尋找一新的webcam。 我已經擁有了 VX-3000 -，但我想要某事一少許更加強有力和更加優質。 并且VX-7000是正義的! 我繼續并且採摘了一上星期到目前為止，并且認為我與它會分享有些筆記關於我的經驗。

首先，讓我給您簡要的介紹設備。 VX-7000是上面這線webcam在LifeCams VX系列中從微軟硬件。 當NX系列LifeCams為膝上計算機時，設計VX系列LifeCams為桌面個人計算機設計。 VX-7000是a 為窗口景色證明 設備，因此它被設計運轉偉大與窗口景色。 所有LifeCams為窗口被優選活-具體地使用與窗口活信使為錄影電話。 VX-7000來與相當油滑的套specs (您也能 這裡讀specs 從

Jensen哈里斯 從辦公室2007設計小組給了a 非常罕見的介紹 在 微軟的MIX08 今天事件關於沒有什麼辦公室2007流利(絲帶)接口是，反而怎麼它來是，并且什麼其他概念他們嘗試了。

他承認自己它第一次是在一個公開地點，他們顯示了什麼的這些從未在之前被看見的原型將成為提議2007年。 It was great insight into the development process of Office which frankly may not have been very interesting except the last release. Having said that, it was still a very small selection of material out of the 50-60GB worth of prototypes Jensen claims have been archived.

Most of these were presented in sequential order so it was also interesting to see how the design evolved.

Also during the “Beneath the Surface: The Natural Experience Vision” at Microsoft MIX08, Daniel played the video created by Microsoft’s Office Labs used to show off their vision of personal health systems for the future. Nothing in this suggests it will be realized anytime soon, but it had some great ideas for both devices and natural user interfaces which the presentation was about.

On the last day at the Microsoft MIX08 event, Daniel Makoski from the Microsoft Surface team presented a session called “Beneath the Surface: The Natural Experience Vision”. During the presentation, Daniel briefly touched on the work they were doing in Windows surrounding natural user interfaces.

Most of the presentation was focused around the Surface which is interesting enough in itself, but a few slides in regards to Windows caught my attention. It showed off a range of alternate user interfaces for people who may not have been familiar with the traditional computing paradigm, particularly in developing nations. These are some of the ideas they had.

Just about every windows application has an 'undo' feature and most have a 'redo' feature. These are a lifesaver on those frequent occasions that we make a mistake in what we are doing, and in the case of 'redo', when we realise that we were right the first time.

The undo/redo feature will either be available as toolbar buttons (as shown) or from the 'Edit' menu. Alternatively there are, unsurprisingly, a couple of keyboard shortcuts for them. To undo the last thing you did hold down the Ctrl key and press Z; to redo the last thing you undid, hold down the Ctrl key and press Y.

Ever since I read my first Engadget liveblog, it’s something I’ve always wanted to try out for myself. Unfortunately it never seemed like the right time, nor did I have the right tools. Of course, I’m not alone in the liveblogging craze.

Today, Rafael Rivera and I tried for the first time a Rube Goldberg-inspired process which not only made our MIX08 keynote liveblog possible, but also efficient and hopefully fun to read as well.

We had a few people sitting around us wondering what sort of magic we were doing - like a photo I take would automatically appear on Flickr in a handful of seconds and then my blog in a couple of minutes - so I wanted to share how it was all done so you too can try it if you want.

You will need:

• A dSLR camera (Nikon or Canon)
• A friend who assumes the role of the writer/photographer (spelling and a firm hand respectively)
• Two laptops, one for each person (role).
• Internet connectivity (good upload, download irrelevant, WiFi will work)
• Most importantly, an interesting event with animated presenters.

Softwares and tools:

• Remote camera capturing software - stream pictures taken from your camera directly to your computer
  • Nikon: Nikon Camera
