Cloud On "sold out" after the first day because so many users signed up. They have "too much interest" and can't support all the people who signed up. This should be a BIG NUDGE to Microsoft that their Office product is in demand on the ipad, especially if it links easily with Skydrive.

The new iPad app: Cloudon gives you a full version of Microsoft Office on the ipad. You can edit using Office and store in dropbox. Technically it is a screensharing service using the CloudOn services. You could also just use a screensharing program like I do. We want our apps to be ubiquitous and if the original company doesn't do it, others will do it for them.

A new movie "the American teacher" is coming out and Microsoft is coordinating the community screening of this film based upon the New York Times Best Seller "Teachers Have it Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America's Teachers" produced by Vanessa Roth and narrated by Matt Damon. This website lets you order the DVD or volunteer to host a screening. I cannot find a release date on the site.

I hope it is balanced. Teachers aren't perfect but it is not ok how teachers are being treated. Unfortunately, very few people are talking about just teachers -- it seems to be focused on union vs. anti union at this point in politics with teachers caught in between.

Interestingly, Microsoft will not provide services (according to this forum post I did in my research) to kids under 13. Additional parental approval is required to access some services. This doesn't like quite as smooth as perhaps Google's offering is.

Microsoft Windows Live @ Edu facts, cost, information. How this is working. It is interesting to me that the way this is written demonstrates how people don't seem to trust Microsoft.

This is the Microsoft Research so.cl website (pronounced social) that is being tested in a few universities. I find it incredibly interesting that students sign in using Facebook instead of Windows Live ID, the preferred sign in for other services.

This tedtalk discusses how Microsoft is building augmented reality into searchable maps and is from Blaise Agüera y Arcas with Microsoft. This software is supposed to transform how we look at digital images. This is fascinating and also a topic that the students of NetGenEd will be reviewing as part of their research into augmented reality.

According to this story:

"Windows 7 has a new system-wide service that will offer very easily accessible geographical location services for all devices and programs. Unfortunately, their implementation seems half-baked in the security front, opening the door to privacy problems that even Microsoft program manager Alec Berntson didn't have a convincing answer for. What is worse: They don't plan to fix them for the final release."

Geolocation services have great uses but we should have a choice!

Microsoft Popfly lets you make mashups and build web pages without knowing code. I am to the point I don't teach the detailed web site creation coding I used to. I teach RSS, embedding, creating wikis, uploading media of all kinds, but I just don't know how important coding is any more at the basic level.

I want to spend some time tinkering with this.
