Microsoft Virtual Earth, 500 MHz 512-core math co-processor, 7 Minutes with Rex Dixon – NEW!

Microsoft Virtual Earth. Check it out on Live.com. Users with Vista-ready Windows computers and IE 6 or 7 will be able to navigate through an aerial view of 15 select cities with enough detail to discern the texture of buildings and read clickable billboards from the likes of Fox, Nissan and John L. Scott Real Estate. Virtual Earth 3D is expected to expand to cover up to 100 cities around the world by the end of next summer.

Japanese computer scientists at the University of Tokyo have built a 500MHz 512-core math co-processor chip that can perform up to 512 billion floating-point operations per second.

The NEW improved – with NEW logo – 7 Minutes with Rex Dixon 11/6/2006 is now online – also — with NEW intro – and NEW exit music.

This week’s sponsor is – The College Voice - re-launch party is November 12th in NYC - read the blog post that I wrote back on October 25th about them.

I would like to especially thank Scot Duke - Mr. Business Golf for creating the new logo for 7 Minutes with Rex Dixon, as well as providing the voice for the new intro.

Give his site a visit, and consider booking him for a seminar or buy his book – How To Play Business Golf, and THEN book him for the full on seminar experience.

This can only be described as the most exciting thing to happen to Business Golf since the first CEO said to his VP’s, “Let’s go play some golf with so and so company and see if we can do Business Golf.” Many years later – Scot Duke has put it all together – the wrong, the right, and how to do it successfully and he wants to share that knowledge with you!

Technically Speaking, that will probably be all for this evening and today – listen to the podcast – and be careful tomorrow - mid-term Election Day here in the USA – November 7th!

Splashcast

Splashcast sounds like the new ticket if Marshall is right! The product, which is still several months away from launch, is a clean, simple system for publishing channels of video, photos, audio and text via RSS feeds to a totally resizable, skinless Flash player.

Technically Speaking, this is a great idea!

Powerset, Conduit, Fox Interactive’s SpringWidgets (beta)

Powerset raised $12.5 million going after the holy grail in search. Looks like they are working on something that even Google can’t do.

Conduit is a new toolbar program for web site owners. Basically it will leave your web site prominently displayed at the top of every users browser. The company estimates nearly 10 million users by 2nd quarter of next year without doing anything.

Fox Interactive Media will announce on Monday morning a new widget platform called SpringWidgets at the Widgets Live Conference in San Francisco.

Technically Speaking – I said it early this morning already, but I “predict” that 2nd quarter next year this blog (yes, – Technically Speaking) will have nearly 100 million “reaches” as Alexa puts it, and I’ll be hosting the Rex Dixon Live Conference in San Diego, CA .. hmmm.. either that or I will have to take political office somewhere due to the success of tomorrow’s write in Rex Dixon vote!

Adbrite

Adbrite which was spun out of FuckedCompany’s need for an ad platform has now gone 2.0. You can check it out and test drive it. Technically Speaking, Philip Kaplan had a great idea back in 2002 to even start his web site (FC). I remember reading so many cool insider memo type of posts back in the day.
