Singularity Summit

Eagerly awaiting audio and video from this year’s Singularity Summit. It seems they should have it available by early December.

A number of podcasts from last year’s show are available at IT Conversations.  It’s well worth listening to and starts you thinking.

But then, you soon realize that that there’s a problem.  If the singularity is inevitable (and it seems to be – I certainly believe so) – why have our efforts to discover other intelligent life in the universe failed?

Seems like a random thought – but of course this is not new (merely new to me!).

A most interesting summary can be found here.

I still believe

Please please please let Mr Wilcox be right.  The Microsoft Mobile strategy is an embarrassment.  I’ve always been a Microsoft supporter, but at the moment I can’t see a Windows mobile phone that will make a difference.  Even when they finally DO release Silverlight for it, I can’t see that taking off big time.

The numbers just don’t add up.  Around $300M for the current OS strategy, while Apple gets revenue of $4.9 Billion selling 6.9 million iPhones?

MS must realize that the potential market is just huge – several billion, not a measly 300 mil.

So – the only question is – when can we see it?  Could the Inquirer be correct about the NVidia chip?

Gonna have to wait till at least CES…

Whoa – Free Isolater License :)

This must be my lucky day.  I’ve only just switched jobs, and have started a consulting gig where I focus on Sharepoint and related technologies, and here Typemock releases a special version of Isolator making it possible to unit test Sharepoint code without having Sharepoint installed.  They’re also giving away a free license as described below!

Typemock are offering their new product for unit testing SharePoint called Isolator For SharePoint, for a special introduction price. it is the only tool that allows you to unit test SharePoint without a SharePoint server. To learn more click here.

The first 50 bloggers who blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Full Isolator license, Free. for rules and info click here.

anything with an SDK 2....

Seems that the folks over at TechRadar have had some further info into Microsoft delivering Silverlight for the iPhone.  Unfortunately, the actual quote:

"will look to build a version of Silverlight that will work on the iPhone, although there is concern about the royalties that Apple would charge."

does not really inspire confidence that this will happen soon.

Perhaps they should ask Miguel's team to do the work if they can't....

Microsoft - if you're listening, we're waiting!!
