For those who keep asking for the link to the Android platform “augmented reality” app, here is the video and related article.
Apple is going to be hating the competition once everyone has these as an open platform… too bad they are 2 years ahead of everyone else 
Great article on what open source actually means to Microsoft (it’s disruptive) and big business in general that doesn’t subscribe to the open model. The open model allows my startup costs to be zero and I will probably try and monetize the business without selling a a product or a software package. Notice the lack of need for anything Microsoft related whatsoever.
In sum, Microsoft still doesn’t understand the Internet, the ultimate child of the open-source movement. It is the Internet that simultaneously makes Google and open source so brilliantly destructive and disruptive to Microsoft’s future.

Android is the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation. We have developed Android in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance, which consists of more than 30 technology and mobile leaders including Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile. Through deep partnerships with carriers, device manufacturers, developers, and others, we hope to enable an open ecosystem for the mobile world by creating a standard, open mobile software platform. We think the result will ultimately be a better and faster pace for innovation that will give mobile customers unforeseen applications and capabilities.
I read about some neat software awhile ago. In order to bring better signal-to-noise meaning to email, the software gives email users a fixed number of points each day. Then people assign point values to emails they send, effectively weighting them. This way you can assume that when someone spends 20 of their daily 30 points on an email for you, its super important. And you can see based on trends that you may need to spend 5 points to have someone even notice your email. It’s definitely available as an outlook plug-in/addon as well.
Problem is I never bookmarked it and I can’t freaking find this product on Google! Ahh! 1 hour of searching and the signal to noise ratio is off the charts when searching for email, collaboration, etc.
Help.
