Microsoft’s Social Web Guy | News on the ASP.NET Ajax Library Beta
The ASP.NET Ajax Library Beta was released today! The five big things I’m going to talk about in this post are:
1. The ASP.NET Ajax Library is now in Beta
2. Contributing the ASP.NET Ajax Library to the CodePlex Foundation
3. Merging the Ajax Control Toolkit with the ASP.NET Ajax Library
4. Plans to provide support for the ASP.NET Ajax Library
5. ASP.NET Ajax Library features that provide:
* Powerful developer libraries and tooling support
* Performance – build high performance websites
* Interoperability – use it with any server platform and alongside jQuery
* Extensible – build on top of the library and inherit from controls like DataViewSince July last year the team has been cranking out new features in 6 previews, each with exciting innovations including powerful productivity benefits for developers, performance enhancements to make your website faster and making the library interoperable with multiple server platforms and other JavaScript libraries like jQuery.

Microsoft Courier tablet
Courier: First Details of Microsoft’s Secret Tablet – Microsoft courier tablet – Gizmodo
It feels like the whole world is holding its breath for the Apple tablet. But maybe we’ve all been dreaming about the wrong device. This is Courier, Microsoft’s astonishing take on the tablet.
‘ Courier is a real device, and we’ve heard that it’s in the “late prototype” stage of development. It’s not a tablet, it’s a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. They’re connected by a hinge that holds a single iPhone-esque home button. Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.
Until recently, it was a skunkworks project deep inside Microsoft, only known to the few engineers and executives working on it—Microsoft’s brightest, like Entertainment & Devices tech chief and user-experience wizard J. Allard, who’s spearheading the project. Currently, Courier appears to be at a stage where Microsoft is developing the user experience and showing design concepts to outside agencies.
Microsoft has a history of collaborating with other firms, especially in the E&D division: Zune and Xbox have both gone through similar design processes. (And plans for the Microsoft Store leaked through a third-party agency were confirmed as genuine prototype layouts and concepts.) This video is branded Pioneer Studios, a Microsoft division within E&D that specializes in this kind of work, working with another agency that’s a long-time Microsoft collaborator on confidential projects.
The Courier user experience presented here is almost the exact opposite of what everyone expects the Apple tablet to be, a kung fu eagle claw to Apple’s tiger style. It’s complex: Two screens, a mashup of a pen-dominated interface with several types of multitouch finger gestures, and multiple graphically complex themes, modes and applications. (Our favorite UI bit? The hinge doubles as a “pocket” to hold items you want move from one page to another.) Microsoft’s tablet heritage is digital ink-oriented, and this interface, while unlike anything we’ve seen before, clearly draws from that, its work with the Surface touch computer and even the Zune HD.
Over the next couple days we’ll be diving much, much deeper into Courier, so stay tuned.

Apple May Be Working on XL Tablets Running Full Mac OS X
Rumor: Apple May Be Working on XL Tablets Running Full Mac OS X – Apple – Gizmodo
This one caught us by surprise, but it comes from a source that has always been 100% reliable: Not only Apple may be working on a 10-inch tablet, but also in 13″ and 15″ models, one running Mac OS X.This source claims that the two touchscreen prototypes—made of aluminum, but on the shape of big iPhones—were in a factory in Shenzuen, China. One of them “was running Mac OS X 10.5.” When I asked, the source didn’t know if these were built for demonstration purposes, or if they were preproduction units. The company has a tight relation with Apple but “it’s not FoxConn.”
As I said before, with everyone focused on the 10-inch tablet with iPhone OS, this sighting is quite surprising. It is possible that Apple may be just exploring other form factors, and these two models may or may not end being future products.
According to rumors, Apple is in the final stages of developing the Apple wet dream, a 10-inch tablet allegedly running the iPhone OS. Several sources claim that Steve Jobs—back in Campus—is now personally driving this project. However, until now there has been no reliable rumors on 13″ and 15″ models, much less one running full Mac OS X.

Acer’s Aspire Predator gaming rig gets even faster, stays just as orange
Acer’s Aspire Predator gaming rig gets even faster, stays just as orange
Just a few weeks too late for a Transformers 2 tie-in, Acer has announced a new revision of its Aspire G desktop, a.k.a. Predator. It shares the same case with the earlier edition that hit the US of A late last year, but naturally has some better specs this time ’round. The CPU is now one of Intel’s new Core i7 950’s running at 3.06GHz, up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM is on offer, while more permanent storage is offered by a 1TB HDD and a Blu-ray reader. A pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 graphics cards keep the pixels flowing over four DVI-D ports, and dual Gigabit Ethernet is on offer for those about to rock shotgun network connections. All that clad in a brilliant orange case that looks like it rolled off the Lamborghini production line, though at ¥259,800 ($2,700ish) it’s a lot cheaper than the Murciélago LP 670-4 Superveloce you’ve been drooling over. No word on American availability, but since the last one took about four months to make it this way perhaps we’ll see this one by year’s end.

the periodic table of typefaces
Published by John Mahoney 9 hours ago
This sits beautifully nestled in my science geek and design geek Venn overlap quadrant: a good place to be.
Designers Squidspot created the table, with fonts arranged roughly into related group columns showing (although Akzidenz Grotesk and Helvetica not being in the same family! Ok, I’ll stop). They’ve also ranked each roughly according to popularity according to a number of sources.
It’s really cool to see who designed which typeface and when, and where everything falls in the popularity queue. [Periodic Table of Typefaces (full-res JPG) by Squidspot via Lifehacker]
