  • Top 10 Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets May 28, 2010 by Debra Littlejohn Shinder, MVP Way Back in 2008, I Wrote an Article Titled the Top 10 Vista Sidebar Gadgets
    Top 10 Windows 7 desktop gadgets May 28, 2010 By Debra Littlejohn Shinder, MVP Way back in 2008, I wrote an article titled The top 10 Vista Sidebar Gadgets. Now it's 2010 and I'm running Windows 7, and although I still use most of the gadgets I was using back then, I've also discovered a few new ones that deserve mention. Here are my favorites. 1: All CPU Meter The gadget I used to monitor my dual-core computer running Vista wasn't available in a quad-core version, so I switched to All CPU Meter (Figure A). It supports up to eight cores (so I have room to grow). All CPU Meter isn't as complex as some, but the simplicity works in its favor. It monitors your memory usage as well as CPUs, and it packs a lot of information into a small space. I also like that you can change the Figure A background color to match your preferences. 2: Windows Orb Clock During all the time I used Vista and the first year I used Windows 7, my analog clock gadget of choice was the electric blue version of the one that comes with the operating system. But now I've switched to a much cooler model: the Vista Orb Clock (Figure B). Of course, the same orb is also on the Windows 7 Start menu. I love its clean look and the nice symmetry of having it just across from my Start Menu orb (since I have my Taskbar set to the vertical position.

  • 3DVIA Composer FAQ
    3DVIA Composer FAQ Question: What is the fastest way to import SOLIDWORKS files into 3DVIA Composer? Answer: Install a licensed version of SOLIDWORKS on the same PC that Composer is installed on (ensuring that version of SOLIDWORKS is supported for use with the version of Composer in use; see S-055391) - In SOLIDWORKS, disable "Large Assembly Mode" (System Options > Assemblies) and "Automatically load components lightweight" (System Options > Performance) - Run this licensed version of SOLIDWORKS alongside Composer - In Composer, ensure that the version of SOLIDWORKS that is running is chosen in Application Preferences > Input - In Composer, enable the "IOSWImportGraphicData" option in Default Document Properties > Advanced Settings** - Open the SOLIDWORKS file(s) in Composer **This option was implemented in V6R2012 and has some caveats (refer to Composer's Help for more detailed information on this topic). If the import does not work, or there is a problem with it, then disable this option. For earlier versions of Composer, this solution still applies, minus that step. Question: Is there a way to merge 3DVIA Composer floating license installation information into the install so that the end user does not have to perform any action to run Composer? Answer: Yes. Floating licensing information for Composer is controlled by one registry key on the client computers. In order to "merge" this with the Composer installation, a registry file must be created that will need to be deployed to the client machines after the install is performed. The registry key that a floating license, client Composer computer needs is: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager", with a string of, "SEEMAGE_LICENSE_FILE = server name" A sample registry file is attached (note: if this is used, please edit the file and change the server name to reflect that of the customer's server).

Almost everyone in the world uses mapping information, whether or not one realizes it. Almost every mobile phone now has location services and every event and object on the earth has a location. The use of this geospatial location data has expanded rapidly, thanks to the development of the Internet. Huge volumes of geospatial data are available and daily being captured online, and are used in web applications and maps for viewing, analysis, modeling and simulation. This paper reviews the developments of web mapping from the first static online map images to the current highly interactive, multi-sourced web mapping services that have been increasingly moved to cloud computing platforms. The whole environment of web mapping captures the integration and interaction between three components found online, namely, geospatial information, people and functionality. In this paper, the trends and interactions among these components are identified and reviewed in relation to the technology developments.

  • The Thin Lines Between Data Analysis and Surveillance: Reflections on a Research History
    The Thin Lines between Data Analysis and Surveillance: Reflections on a Research History Abstract Danyel Fisher Where are the lines between ‘big data analytics’ and Microsoft Research ‘surveillance’? As a researcher in the former—and an 1 Microsoft Way outspoken sceptic of the latter—I review my own Redmond, Washington USA research to examine how my own attempts to manage [email protected] privacy in collecting and visualizing data have worked out. Interestingly, perhaps distressingly, it seems that even when projects are designed around viewing and displaying privacy-enhanced aggregates, it is easier to discuss them in terms of individual behavior and single subjects: a path that can lead distressingly toward accidentally building surveillance systems. Author Keywords Big data; data visualization; data analysis; social networks Prepared for the CHI 2014 Workshop: “Critical Making Hackathon.” Copyright 2014, Microsoft Research. Introduction Where does data analytics end, and surveillance begin? My research has often used large-scale data analysis to examine online behavior, and used user traces to understand the ways that users interact with systems and each other. But with a recent interest in mass scale data collection—from commercial organizations looking to analyze user behavior for optimal ad-selling, or from government agencies looking to stop terrorism—has begun to blur the lines between data analysis and The viewer of the system should not see any surveillance. information that a subject has not explicitly published. Without attempting to formally define terms, The system should lead the viewer toward Projects ‘surveillance’ connotes using data to look specifically at conclusions about group behavior, not individual users; ‘data analysis’ usually connotes individual behavior.
