I am confident that they will lead the lab to greater heights.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hon, who has extensive experience in both fundamental research and product development, joined Microsoft Research Asia in 2004 after serving as the architect for Microsoft’s Natural Interactive Services Division and&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;starting his Microsoft career at &lt;a href="http://research.microsoft.com/aboutmsr/labs/redmond/default.aspx"&gt;Microsoft Research Redmond&lt;/a&gt;.

The building provides big laboratories, offices, and supports space for over 1500 scientists.

So that's what we're going to call it. Unfortunately, the only info we have about this house is that it was built in China or Japan . And that it has a silly pink roof. And if you look real close, you'll notice that it's on a 135 degree damn angle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img title="www.extremefun.net.tc - SridhaR" alt="FunAndFunOnly (www.mails4u.net.tc) - SridhaR" src="http://us.f448.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download/us/ShowLetter?box=Inbox&amp;amp;MsgId=7136_2366291_6206_3833_201935_0_21_379209_3051095674&amp;amp;bodyPart=2.10&amp;amp;YY=72825&amp;amp;y5beta=yes&amp;amp;ymv=0&amp;amp;y5beta=yes&amp;amp;order=down&amp;amp;sort=date&amp;amp;pos=0&amp;amp;view=a&amp;amp;head=b&amp;amp;Idx=4" name="www.srid.net.tc" border="0" height="200" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000080;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hotel Sofitel" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000080;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This hotel's unique design was directly inspired by the traditional temples in Japan .

The floors can move up or down on it's skinny column core. As of now, the unique building has been destroyed. One of it's more famous beer brands was recently bought by a big refreshment corporation.

In 1368, the Ming Dynasty ascended to power and installed as its capital the city now known as Nanjing, perched on the south bank of the Yangtze River, 200 miles inland from the East China Sea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twenty-six years later and 600 miles to the north, the newly established Joseon Dynasty also relocated its capital, to a city now called Seoul, on the north bank of the Han River, the Yellow Sea 40 miles to the west.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two mighty rivers. Two dynasties that resonate through the ages. Two illustrious cities, each suffused with portent and promise. Six centuries hence, Nanjing and Seoul, advantageously positioned and redolent with history, again became linked, this time on the cusp of a digital future, during &lt;a href="http://research.microsoft.com/aboutmsr/labs/asia/default.aspx"&gt;Microsoft Research Asia&lt;/a&gt;’s ninth &lt;a href="http://research.microsoft.com/asia/21stcomputing/21stCC07/EN_index.htm"&gt;Computing in the 21st Century&lt;/a&gt; conference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source: http://research.microsoft.com/displayArticle.aspx?0rc=n&amp;amp;id=1848&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8828133082268723528-2130625938088043375?l=veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/feeds/2130625938088043375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8828133082268723528&amp;postID=2130625938088043375' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/2130625938088043375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/2130625938088043375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/2007/11/computing-in-21st-century-2007-web.html' title='Computing in the 21st Century 2007: Web Wonders to Unfold'/><author><name>Veera Raghavendra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00018404688054864205</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828133082268723528.post-2398084814453400985</id><published>2007-11-06T20:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-06T20:18:00.839-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BlackBerry Pearl 8120 by Airtel, RIM</title><content type='html'>Nov 6, 2007      &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt;    &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td&gt;    &lt;img src="http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/84283_matter.jpg" align="left" height="95" hspace="5" vspace="3" width="160" /&gt;    &lt;img src="http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/site/shim.gif" height="1" width="1" /&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;     &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/site/shim.gif" height="6" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;        &lt;!-- matter starts --&gt; &lt;span class="boxcontents"&gt; Bharti Airtel (Airtel) and Research in Motion (RIM) have just announced the new BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smart phone in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The small and stylish smart phone sports a Titanium finish, and weighs about 91g.

The announcement also sets at rest persistent rumours of Google launching a G-Phone to answer Apple’s i-Phone challenge. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clearly the number one search player is not about to get into the device business. India’s position as a cost effective R&amp;amp;D destination will ensure that whoever loses in all this — the alliance will challenge existing platforms from Microsoft, Nokia, Research in Motion, Palm and others — India will win. Why? because many of these Handset Alliance members including Intel, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Motorola, nVidia, Sirf, WindRiver, and Google itself, have big development teams based in India. Creating compelling applications for the new Android platform will keep these teams busy in the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source: http://www.hindu.com/2007/11/07/stories/2007110757561800.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8828133082268723528-202017903402815867?l=veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/feeds/202017903402815867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8828133082268723528&amp;postID=202017903402815867' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/202017903402815867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/202017903402815867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/2007/11/google-gets-smarter-with-mobile-players.html' title='Google gets smarter with mobile players'/><author><name>Veera Raghavendra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00018404688054864205</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828133082268723528.post-3108612412783645610</id><published>2007-11-06T02:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-06T02:50:51.162-08:00</updated><title type='text'>భారత భాషలకు టెలిస్మా వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ టెక్నాలజ</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="ArticleText1" class="showit"&gt;                        &lt;p&gt;ఫ్రెంచి కేంద్రంగా ఐటీ కార్యకలాపాలను నిర్వహించే టెలిస్మా సంస్థ తొమ్మిది భారతీయ భాషలకు వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ దిశగా సాంకేతిక నైపుణ్యాన్ని అందించేందుకు ముందుకువచ్చింది. టెలిస్మా ఇప్పటికే తన సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ విక్రయాల కోసం విప్రో, సిస్కో, కేప్, జెమిని, అటోస్ ఆరిజిన్ తదితర సంస్థలతో చేతులు కలిపింది.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;టెలిస్మా ప్రెసిడెంట్ మరియు సిఇఓ లారెట్ బాలైన్ న్యూఢిల్లీలో మాట్లాడుతూ టెలీకాం, పర్యాటకం మరియు ఆరోగ్య పరిరక్షణ వంటి పౌర సంబంధిత రంగాల అభివృద్ధికి వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ ఎంతో ఉపకరిస్తుందని పేర్కొన్నారు. ఈ సంస్థ ఆంగ్ల భాష కోసం రూపొందించిన వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్‌ను భారతీయ ఉచ్ఛారణకు అనుగుణంగా సిద్ధం చేసింది.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;భారత్‌లో వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ మార్కెట్ వచ్చే ఐదేళ్లలో 45 శాతం వృద్ధి రేటును సాధిస్తుందని ఫ్రాస్ట్ అండ్ సుల్లివాన్ అంచనావేసింది.&lt;/p&gt;Source: http://content.msn.co.in/Telugu/InfoTech/News/0711-05-3.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8828133082268723528-3108612412783645610?l=veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/feeds/3108612412783645610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8828133082268723528&amp;postID=3108612412783645610' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/3108612412783645610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8828133082268723528/posts/default/3108612412783645610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://veeraraghavendra.blogspot.com/2007/11/blog-post.html' title='భారత భాషలకు టెలిస్మా వాయిస్ రికగ్నిషన్ టెక్నాలజ'/><author><name>Veera Raghavendra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00018404688054864205</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
