February 22, 2008 .- What a pleasure to read da reactions to the announcement of Microsoft. For a few hours yesterday, I thought someone would actually swallow that the company now will open like a flower and to send good vibes across the globe. No is the first time that Microsoft makes an announcement of these features (I'm glad to see that in Europe have the account and they know they are already four) and I fear not the last. Moving a giant of this size is not easy and good will is not enough. We must lead by example. Six months ago the company got caught in the tangle of standards for approving legislation OOXML. In the overnight will not change his whole philosophy.
But the change makes sense, especially for a new Microsoft now believes in the services and advertising, not selling boxes of software. The problem is that its benefits are coming from there, from Windows and Office, and that such programs sell and succeed with a structure that is anything but open. Hopefully this ad to something better.
Microsoft is a company easy to hate and love at the same time. It is incredibly versatile and has great brains inside, able to create amazing tools. It also has a dark side, a special ability to arouse suspicion and a great ambition to control everything related to your software.
Anyway, now that Microsoft uses. Come up with gadgets, with a very green. Specifically with a lamp that works by gravity. Gravia is an unconventional room lamp is no need to plug into the wall. To turn you have to climb a weight from the base to the top of the lamp. The weight began to fall slowly, a mechanism similar to-wall clocks, feeding a collection of LEDs that can shine for four hours before having to lift the weight.
The light generated is not too much-equivalent to a 40 watt bulb, but lamp life is 200 years using an average of eight hours a day. It is what it takes for the LED "fuse."
