Just downloaded and started playing with XBox Companion App which we launched today. It is really amazing. I loved the ability to search for movies on the phone and then directly play on the TV through XBox. Really cool stuff… Good reason to buy a Windows Phone if you are a XBox fan.
From: Xbox Facebook Page - The moment you’ve been waiting for is here. The Xbox update is currently on its way to all 35 million Xbox LIVE members around the world. We apologize for today’s delay and hope that you will be thrilled with your new Xbox experience and the new apps launching in the coming weeks! http://xbx.lv/uxmHet
Good to see Azure picking up with environmental agency.
Cloud computing can be a powerful tool for scientists and researchers sharing massive amounts of environmental data. At the United Nations climate conference (COP 17) in Durban, South Africa this week, The European Environment Agency, geospatial software company Esri and Microsoft showed off the “Eye on Earth” network. The community uses Esri’s cloud services and Microsoft Azure to create an online site and group of services for scientists, researchers and policy makers to upload, share and analyze environmental and geospatial data. While the Eye on Earth network has been under development since 2008, the group launched three services for different types of environmental data at COP 17, including WaterWatch, which uses the EEA’s water data; AirWatch, which uses the EEA’s air quality data; and NoiseWatch, which combines environmental data with user-generated info from citizens.
