Office 2007 Professional Plus blog speakers-at-mic

Who says that school is fun and function is uninteresting?

Function life at Microsoft is something but the cubicle routine found at various modern firms. Amongst a universe of other perks, advantages and assistance, Microsoft hosts varied and dynamic speakers who maintain personnel in touch using the leading edge (if not the future) of technologies.

Yesterday, I noticed a speech by Craig Mundie and – a couple hours later – a presentation by Ben Huh. Mundie is Microsoft's Chief Research and Strategy Officer and part of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Huh is the CEO and Founder of the Cheezburger Network: over 30 popular humor sites such as I Can Has Cheezburger, GraphJam and FAIL blog. His sites attract over 13 million daily visits.

The two talks ran from the highest levels of tech research down to addictively lowbrow Internet humor… and both speakers blew my mind.Mundie argued that we are on the verge of a new technology revolution with Azure leading a seamless client + cloud connected platform and Project Natal as the gateway to the natural user interface (NUI) era. Mundie tempted the imagination with visions of advanced NUI that emulates all of the human senses, life-like avatars and computer “rooms” where you are surrounded by wall screens and are effectively "inside the computer." Mundie pointed out that Microsoft is the only single company that has invested in all of the different elements that are necessary to move forward into this new world of technology. Huh,Office 2010 Pro Plus Key, on the other hand,Office Enterprise 2007, discussed how he built an online empire of user generated content based on Internet memes – all since 2007. The former journalism student takes simple ideas,Office 2007 Professional Plus, like Lolcats (pictures of cute kitties with misspelled captions),Office 2007 Professional, and delivers reliably humorous material to the masses. Huh claimed that while content is still king, his role is not to determine and shape content like a traditional publisher/editor. His innovation is to preserve the community around the meme and let the users generate content and decide for themselves what should lead. Both talks were packed with Microsoft workers and were webcast internally for those who couldn't make it in person. The day set my mind buzzing with inspiration,Windows 7 32bit, insight and excitement about what I'll learn on my next lunch or coffee break at Microsoft.
