Mille Miglia 2016 – Some PowerBI insights

No Comments

Today I started experimenting a bit with the data from the 2016 Mille Miglia in PowerBI. I have created some reports based on the accepted cars PDF of the Mille Miglia 2016, as I was curious how many attendees, from how many countries are participating. Also some nice insights into the different cars etc ..

It is easy to embed the reports you create with some automatically generated embed code. For those not familiar with PowerBI, you can click the charts to filter the data …

Sonos S3 op komst ?

Zag zojuist een tweet van @michielveenstra voorbij komen die mij naar de Endgadget site bracht :

 

Sonos S3 / Play:3 wireless all-in-one speaker system leaked by the feds

 

… Look what the FCC dragged in: it’s a brand new, unannounced all-on-one speaker for inclusion in your Sonos wireless audio system. A mini S5, if you will, that goes by the name "Play:3" according to the black and white FCC labels — a hint at black and white offerings just like the S5. Curiously, the FCC docs also refer to the Play:3 as the "S3" in keeping with Sonos’ S5 nomenclature. Our friend Dave Zatz speculates that the diminutive size and name is a good indicator that the S3 / Play:3 will feature a trio of drivers and dedicated digital amplifiers, akin to the S5’s five (two tweeters, two mids, and a subwoofer). And you know what? We’d have to agree. Now, given the S3’s size and Sonos’ proven ability to use software to perfectly synchronize audio across dozens of Sonos boxes, you’ll have to forgive us for wondering if Sonos has a wireless 5.1 home theater solution up its sleeve. Well Sonos, do ya? Evidence of the Play:3 vs S3 naming conventions can be found after the break. ..

Het huis van de toekomst : The Microsoft Home

No Comments

Nee niet zoals de Chriet Titulaar versie destijds bij het Autotron, maar een duidelijke visie op hoe technologie in de (nabije) toekomst ingezet kan worden in en rond het huis.

Deze video is onderdeel van een serie rondleidingen op de Microsoft campus in Redmond :

 

Steve Clayton and Flora Goldthwaite give us an exclusive tour of The Microsoft Home.

The Microsoft Home, located on the Redmond campus in the Executive Briefing Center, is an envisioning of the family home in the very near future where connected experiences and devices take their next logical steps and beyond.

First opened in 1994, The Microsoft Home is maintained by a group of researchers under Microsoft’s Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Craig Mundie, and is updated regularly.

Unfortunately The Microsoft Home is not open to the public but Channel 9 was given special permission to film a sneak-peak tour for this episode of Microsoft Campus Tours.

    I have installed the trial version (the full version is GBP 7.99 in the UK markterplace).
    The app works fine but currently still requires to connect via a PC or HomeServer.
    I hope the next release will show some improvements like a(better) use of the metro interface, as the current interface shows no imagination whatsoever.
    And that price, some on guys GBP 7.99 ?
