Microsoft to Launch Mohoro – Use Windows Over the Internet

The Start Screen may be soon accessible over the Internet

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new project called Mohoro that would basically allow users to access a Windows installation over the Internet, without the need to deploy the operating system on a local system.

Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet writes that Mohoro would be a desktop virtualization service based on Windows Azure that would basically represent Microsoft’s first major step towards a subscription service for the Windows platform.

The pay-per-use system would be specifically aimed at companies looking to access their own clients or applications stored in the cloud, while also being capable of setting up restrictions and limitations for their employees.

The desktop as a service Windows might be released in 2014, even though there’s no official word on it.

The company has already purchased Mohoro.com and Mohoro.net domains, so it’s most likely working on this new project as we speak.

Physics behind the Arc Reactor

It started with me ranting about how I should understand the physics of arc reactor more and then Sera needs some babel speak ideas for her Tony. I know this has been discussed deeply by most iron man fanatics before, but this is the simplified version for people who can’t be bothered to understand the big science-y words. I’m not saying that this is accurate because I’m not a nuclear engineer either, and I hope I can get some feedbacks from people who actually understand this. Since vibranium is not actually a real element, I’m focusing on the old arc reactor tech that runs on palladium. Let’s do a bit revision on fusion, yes? During nuclear fusion, light atoms combine to form heavier elements; in the process, a small fraction of mass is converted into lots of energy. Fusion reactions are called thermonuclear reactions because high temperatures are required to overcome the coloumbic repulsion between the nuclei being fused, i.e., “thermo” for the heat required and “nuc

Sixth Sense Device - Surfaceless computing

'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world.
