If you are after the latest info on the new Zune HD you can browse not only the official site but also Gizmodo where there are many photos and also a video.
Zune HD should be available in the US this fall. There is no info on when (if ever) it's gonna be in the Czech shops...

Photosynth is an amazing technology that has many fans around the world. Today, I have found an interesting link on Eileen Brown´s blog I want to share with you.
YDreams Brasil company created a special device YDreams SensorBar that allows users to navigate in Photosynth just with a hand movement. Have a look at the video above to see for yourself.

Many people would love to be able to see the future. Here is Microsoft's vision of 2019...

This video reminds me of my attempt to set up a blind date for some of my single Indian friends back in Australia. It also ended as an unsuccessful mission but at least we all had a good laugh out of it...

No more waiting! The new OS Windows 7 was introduced at PDC in Los Angeles today. You can see some of its screenshots here...

Have you missed Prague´s Server Launch and therefore haven´t seen a short film 
"Serveronauti: Cesta ke hvězdám" ("Serveronauts: A Journey towards the Stars")?
Well, now is your chance to watch it here.
If you prefer to stay at home instead of going out to events you can still enjoy the Server Launch - this time
in Second Life.
This one will take place on the Microsoft User Group Island on 26th of April from 6pm to 1am (CET).
It´s very easy to get there. Just go to: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Microsoft%20island/190/73/22.
You can also read more about it at Zain´s blog.
If you are new to Second Life just go to www.secondlife.com and register your avatar first. It´s for free.
You´ll also need to download LiveMeeting for this particular program so you don´t miss any demos that will be presented live to you.
And most importantly - don´t miss the after party. Belgian blogger Miel Van Opstal is going to be a DJ for this occasion
and believe me, if Miel is going to be in charge of that it will be definitely worth attending!

You can find so many interesting sites on the Internet that no one is probably going to be surprised if I say that you can use it also for writing upside down and backwards.
I have received funny email written this way from a Mexican fellow blogger Armando Halbinger Perez.
So, if you would like to write e.g. your next blog post or email this way as well just go to this website.
Put your text in the "original" window provided and you´ll see it´s "flipped" version straight away. Enjoy!

Would you like to be one of those who is able to go on a tour through the universe but simply can't afford it right now?
You will be able to do so now - well, in a matter of few weeks. You will not have to even leave your home or spend any money.

This all because Microsoft has announced it's latest invention - World Wide Telescope that will enable guided explorations of the universe to everyone since it brings together imagery from the best ground and space telescopes.
Read more about it at http://wwtelescope.com and see also reactions from people who have already played with this technology.
World Wide Telescope will be available in spring.
