Employees have a hard time following who is working on what in such a large company, and Techfest tries to connect some and inspire others. Chairman Bill Gates is expected to tour the event today and might even take in a lecture on such topics as "bridging the gap between science data and databases" or "impromptu communication." Reporters were allowed in yesterday, but Microsoft kept them away from all but a few inventions."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050302-RemoteFileBrowse.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />One of the projects that reporters got to see at Techfest was remote picture browsing using Windows Media Center and a Windows Mobile Smartphone. Bill also ran a demo of this in his keynote speech for ES earlier this year. This is one project that I am really interested in. Now that I have my Media Center all setup and I have remote record running. I want to browse my pictures without taking them all with me! :D
