A friend of mine, Emiel Duys, has started blogging. His first post is a detailed deep drive into the difference between casting options in C# down to the assembly code level. His blog is called CodeDetails and can be found at : http://codedetails.com/blogs/emiel/default.aspx (RSS).
Have we reached the technical capability of having holographic communications? Well, check out this video - http://www.musion.co.uk/Cisco_TelePresence.html (via Josh Holmes).
At first this looks like we really have reached the capability, but after a little reading on their site you can see this “illusion” has been around since the 19th century. They have a shorter video that helps visualize what’s actually going on.
The result though is wicked cool and gives the appearance of 3D images or holograms.
Finally, they have posted registration pages for PDC 2008! Check out more at http://microsoftpdc.com/.
I really enjoyed the 2005 PDC and I’m looking forward to going to PDC this year.
