Microsoft Research seeks better search

Michael Kanellos: A prototype application called "Stuff I've Seen," for instance, will store every screen that has popped up on a given computer monitor for a year. Another prototype called "Ask MSR" allows users to pose queries using the natural flow of language, asking "Where is Saddam Hussein?" for example.

Michael Kanellos: While the system currently only recognizes a few simple gestures, it will expand. Volume in a future version of Windows Media Player could be adjusted, hypothetically, with a wrist-twisting motion, Wilson said. He added that a friend advised the special effects team on "Minority Report" on building Tom Cruise's gesture-driven PC screens.

This explain why Minority Report was such a crap film.
Democracy, it's like three wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

minority report was a well done "film noir", just moderinized. i loved it for that. it was also filmed real well, and the bleached effect on the film was fantastic. as were the effects. but i really do not care for effects that much.

Wow, "Stuff I've Seen" sounds soooo useful... the day they release 100EB hard disks... Will they come free with it?
Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
