...right hardware and software so this tablet idea becomes mainstream, those are things we think we can do in the next several years. So we're constantly playing around with those ideas and it helps a lot to have a research group that doesn't have any particular product they are working on. They don't have any time frame. But they are people who aren't just picked for their brains; they're also picked for their energy to want to come up with innovations that change the world. So this TechFest event where we bring our product people...
...that we will keep those categories very competitive and see what we can do to come up with something that's even better in the years ahead. Certainly video games are a great example, where Sony's done a great job, but now we've got the breakthrough product in the market and we'll see what they come up with next. Ours is the Xbox360. And theirs will be called Playstation3. It's not out yet and people don't know much about it. It's a very healthy thing. Even search is nowhere near where it should...
...state of the art forward in computer science. We publish in peer reviewed journals just like professors so that our research is subject to the same purity of process that a university would have," says Rashid. "It's not about doing things that are necessarily going to turn into products-product groups do a pretty good job of that. Researchers are about trying things when you have no idea if they work and seeing where the ideas take...
...images. The server does all the search work and sends the results back to the user's cell phone. "They always say a picture is worth a thousand words," says team member Larry Zitnick. "So imagine I'm at the grocery store, if I'm looking at a product from the shelves, like cereal, and I want more information about it, I take my cell phone out, take a picture of the front of the box and up will pop more information about the product such as prices at other stores, manufacturers coupons, or detailed nutrition information. Then...
...Anoop Gupta, corporate vice president for the unified communications group, oversees the exchange of ideas between the researchers and product specialists. He's a former tenured professor of computer science at Stanford who spent four years at MSR and also spent a year and a half in the coveted role of Gates' technical assistant. Gupta's job is to see that researchers get their ideas in front of the people in charge of the Windows Media Products that use that technology. Back in January of 2003 Gupta's group came up with a telephony prototype that connected the phone...
