Last year, Intel and Microsoft funded the establishment of a Universal Parallel Computing Research Center (UPCRC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with the goal of brining parallel computing applications to the mainstream. Researchers demonstrate an application in which attendees can participate in a tele-immersive 3D environment. Participants in two separate spaces engage and interact in a 3D virtual environment to complete tasks or play games such as Tele-Immersive Saber Fencing or Tele-Immersive Jump Rope .

Raoul Rivas demonstrates at Research@Intel Day.

Microsoft’s hypervisor-based server, “Hyper-V,” is part of the company’s offerings — along with presentation virtualization and application virtualization — aimed at helping companies to take full advantage of virtualization and quad-core technology. The server virtualization product, in conjunction with Intel’s VT hardware-assisted virtualization technology, provides simplified resource management to increase IT efficiency. In this podcast, Jeff Woolsey, senior program manager at Microsoft focused on Microsoft Virtualization, and Intel Microsoft Alliance Manager Joakim Lialias discuss the specific benefits of using Hyper-V technology with Intel’s VT virtualization.

Enterprise content management (ECM) solutions have enabled organizations to more effectively manage information. Yet, the lack of an ECM standard has presented a huge challenge: How can content-enabled applications access and manage content among disparate systems?

To solve this problem, EMC, IBM, and Microsoft are joining forces to lead the drive for the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard for repository access. This new standard will offer organizations the flexibility they need to get more from their enterprise content management systems. Download this episode to hear Razmik Abnous, CTO, Content Management and Archiving, EMC Corporation share his insight on CMIS.

It started with an innocuous audio interview with the then-President of the Products and Technology Group at SAP AG, Shai Agassi. Then came Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz, sitting at a table with an umbrella. It wasn’t long before Scoble introduced us to Thomas Hawk (investment advisor by day, ubiquitous digital media creator by night). There was the Golden Gate Bridge walk (spread over three parts!), and then came pumpkins — lots of pumpkins. Somewhere between the Golden Gate Bridge and the pumpkin patch, conversations with entrepreneurs like b5media Founder and President Jeremy Wright and SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill.

There was lunch with Bill Gates and another lunch with Mark Cuban. We met folks from Salesforce and Zillow, SocialText, Retrevo and Maxthon. We met political bloggers and a presidential candidate on the campaign trail.

But one of our favorites? It’s an interview with Microsoft’s Gary Flake on Photosynth.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Robert Scoble is still the author of the incredibly popular tech geek blog, Scobleizer.com. He’s also the managing director over at FastCompany.tv, where ScobleShow editor and producer Rocky Barbanica is also now a senior producer.

Since that fateful first ScobleShow, Agassi has moved on to found Project Better Place, in order to pursue interests in alternative energy and climate change. Jonathan Schwartz is still at Sun, still blogging, and lots of the start-ups we met are still kicking around, some of them very successfully! It’s worth taking a few minutes to surf through the archives, or just wait to see what pops up in the Classic feed. Good for a few goofy laughs and a little insight into where we’ve been and where we might be going. Oh, and Thomas Hawk is still evangelizing for photo sharing and digital media, and still believes that the best pictures in the world have yet to be taken.
