Microsoft
Microsoft recently released the first Ad of their up coming Windows7 phone set to be released on Nov 8. Microsoft claims the phone to be the one that saves us from our phones. Confused? Watch the Ad and you might be able to get what they are trying to pass.

Still confused? So am I. I think what Microsoft is trying to say is that today’s world is greatly distracted by mobile devices. Yes the iphone’s, Android’s and BlackBerry’s. Microsoft is now coming up with a phone that is going to get rid of all these devices and make our life easier. All I can say is Really?
The advertisement may be funny the way it’s made but such huge claim from Microsoft makes me laugh out the loudest. How they are going to take off when Apple, Google and RIM already have such strong hold on market share? I’ll leave it for you to answer.

Facebook movie “The Social Network” has officially opened in cinemas but I don’t know when am I going to get time to watch this but thanks to the guys at Taiwan’s Next Media Animation for providing me the cover. These fellows well known for recreating the fateful night Tiger woods crashed his SUV and Justin Bieber’s imaginay visit to STD clinic and many others have created a new animated video, condensing “The Social Network” in to a short clip
The movie dubbed as Facebook movie in One Minute (although its just over a100 seconds) is animated in Taiwanese but has English subtitles to go with. It tells the tale of how “one socially awkward male with mad coding skills”(Mark Zukerberg) and “another socially awkward male with lots of money”(Eduardo) teamed up to “get laid.” How mark fell in love with Justin Timberlake and how the two unfriended Eduardo and……watch it for the rest.

Which is the most effective way to learn? Different minds, different thoughts but just stop for a while and give this a thought. What about learning the “Kindergarten way”?
The MIT’s Media Lab Professor Mitch Resnick talks about “Life Long Kindergarten”. It is a one hour interview in which he talks as to how the new technologies can be used to help people of all ages learn the kindergarten way i.e. learning through designing, playing and sharing.
