PROJECT NATAL HAS A NEW NAME

For the last few weeks rumors had taken news blogs with articles mentioning that Project Natal was likely to be renamed to something more catchy.

Today, during MSFT’s E3 presentation, it has been confirmed that the new name is “Kinect”.

Neither prices nor ETAs have been announced, so in the meantime check out this video to have a glimpse of what’s coming this fall:

STEVE BALLMER IN ARGENTINA

A few weeks ago I was invited to Steve Ballmer’s talk about Cloud Computing in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The talk was held last Tuesday on the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE) and lasted about an hour or so.

Since “I crossed the puddle” and attended the event I can tell you that the presentation and all topics covered where quite interesting, so for those of you not present at the event I recommend to watch the recorded video, which is now available at:

Enjoy!
