In his annual letter to all 57,000+ Microsoft employees, CEO Steve Ballmer talked up Microsoft's product successes and futures. But Ballmer also spent more than a few paragraphs focusing on Microsoft's planned cost cuts to the tune of $1 billion in its fiscal 2005 alone. And that, say many company observers, is a sign of things to come.

Let Your Virtual You Try On Clothes

Let Your Virtual You Try On Clothes 01/27/2004 01:44 PM
It's been almost five years since Levi's opened a store where they asked customers to give them all sorts of personal info, which Levi's would then use to create "customized" offers for you. Of course, this required you to tell Levi's all your various measurements - which many people didn't feel comfortable doing. Now, however, folks at Toshiba are finally looking to go further. They're creating a system that can create a real-time 3D avatar of yourself. The idea is that, instead of trying on clothes, you just let this system scan you, and it will then present the virtual you on a screen and you can have it try on various clothes to see how you look. To be honest, I hadn't realized the process of actually trying on clothes was that difficult. I'd also wonder about the system, since the stores offering it would have plenty of incentive to make clothes look better on you on the screen than in real life. Besides, I would think it's pretty difficult to accurate show how clothing would look on someone. The reason we have try-on rooms is that just holding up a shirt against you doesn't necessarily show how it really looks on you. A computerized model isn't necessarily going to be able to do much better. The one area where this might be interesting is for online sales (though, you'd have to be scanned somewhere else first). I'm pretty sure others are trying out similar systems - but usually they involve just typing in basic measurements.

Never Iron Your Clothes Again!

Never Iron Your Clothes Again! 06/01/2004 06:34 PM
“German manufacturing company Siemens, has built a machine that looks like the upper body of a mannequin and uses similar technology to ironing systems employed by professional clearners and laundries. You just put your shirt overtop and the shell inflates with hot air and presses the shirt into shape in just 6.5 minutes, as compared to the average of 8 minutes ironing it by hand. It could take an hour, as far as I’m concerned - anything’s better than ironing by hand.”

The E-Fabric Has No Clothes

The E-Fabric Has No Clothes 06/22/2004 03:27 PM
Every so often, the promise of electronic circuitry in fabric arises even though "e-fabrics" have a long way to go before getting into clothing. There are a range of obstacles: e-fabrics are too stiff or uncomfortable, they aren't durable to washing, and they need to be recognized as safe, among other things. Maybe someday these problems will be solved, but in the meantime, embedding electronics in fabrics should at least look appealing. So interesting (or "beautiful" as their inventor describes them) wall hangings and switches made from e-fabrics could popularize the concept of non-traditional electronics. But for now, these devices still have a few technological hurdles to overcome.

If you say that Outlook 2003 is better and faster with client-side operations, you're dead wrong. I detailed the downgrade in today's Windows Fanatics newsletter. Too bad someone hasn't developed a specific benchmarking utility so that I could prove (beyond a shadow of a doubt) how OL2k3's code is crappier. You may think the program is working fine, but after using it for a couple of months, play with OL2k again and you'll see exactly what I mean. Upgrade at your own peril - and start looking for a better Windows PIM. I stand by my original statement(s)....
