At the Microsoft® Worldwide Partner Conference 2004, the company's premier annual event for business partners, Microsoft Corp. today demonstrated the significance of the concept of integrated innovation in a series of keynote addresses. A Microsoft-wide initiative, the concept of integrated innovation draws on the strength of Microsoft's strong relationships with independent software vendors (ISVs), resellers and other industry partners to deliver complete solutions that integrate across various components of an organization to solve business problems, automate processes and deliver tangible value to customers. This initiative represents a significant opportunity for partners to enable their customers to take full advantage of the benefits of the Microsoft platform and technology stack -- infrastructure, desktop and business applications -- to address real-world business issues.

migration 10/29/2003 03:24 AM
Despite the company's deep connections to Apple, Pixar Animation Studios only completed moving its computer infrastructure to Mac OS X eight months ago. System administrators Bethany Jane Hanson and Gabriel Benveniste said that they deliberately waited until the vast majority of applications they use daily were OS X native. But once that happened, they and the rest of the administrators at Pixar tapped OS X's core Unix capabilities to develop a migration and maintenance scheme that they say has a lower cost of ownership than Mac OS 9.

For the last keynote at the O'Reilly Mac OS X conference, Tribble described some trends for Mac OS X in the sciences and why the operating system and the Mac itself are becoming so attractive to researchers.

Illinois Educators Conference Blog

Illinois Educators Conference Blog 03/14/2005 06:22 PM

What in the World is IceCasting?

“IceCasting is an experiment in MobCasting, an idea that Andy Carvin has been exploring lately. The Illinois Technology Conference for Educators (IL-TCE) will be held in St. Charles from March 1 through March 4 and I thought this might be an interesting way to extend the learning.

Everyone loves attending conferences. There's something about being surrounded by your colleagues and being exposed to new ideas at every turn that really just gets people jazzed up about technology, teaching, and education in general. This blog is a way to capture that feeling and share it with other people. It's a place to capture those ideas that you just can't wait to take back to your school, or make you think differently about the way you're doing things now.

If you experienced something at ICE and want to share it with people, there's two ways that you can do so. Send an email to teach42.icecasting@blogge r.com, and the entire text of the email will be instantly posted here. You can also attach photos to the emails if you'd like to! If you'd like to leave an audio comment, simply call 1-661-716-BLOG (2564), use 555-555-5555 for the login and then enter 2005 as your pincode. Leave a message and your audio comment will be posted directly to the blog!

So in between sessions, if you feel inspired, pick up your cell phone and give the number a call. Share what you've seen or heard that inspired you with everyone else. Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone else attending the conference.

If you happen to use Flickr, then tag your ICE photos with ICE2005. I'll be adding a feed to the sidebar that will grab all of our communal photos that way.” [IceCasting]

Steve Dembo seems to be doing all of the heavy lifting at this point (text and audio), but it’s certainly a great idea. Keep up the great work, Steve!

To my great regret, I won’t be able to attend the Computers in Libraries conference this year, so I’m going to have to attend via the blogs. Thank heavens for non-complex, navel-gazing conference bloggers!
