Google Tech Talk December 13, 2010 Presented by Steven Swanson. ABSTRACT Fast non-volatile memories with performance comparable to DRAM (whether it is PCM, the Memristor, scalable MRAM, or something else) will be upon us in a few short years. These technologies are around 10,000 times faster than spinning disks and 1000 times faster than flash in terms of latency, and they offer enormous gains ...

Google Tech Talk January 6, 2011 Presented by Ron Garret. ABSTRACT Richard Feynman once famously quipped that no one understands quantum mechanics, and popular accounts continue to promulgate the view that QM is an intractable mystery (probably because that helps to sell books). QM is certainly unintuitive, but the idea that no one understands it is far from the truth. In fact, QM is no more di...

Google Tech Talk January 13, 2011 Presented by Ismail Elshareef. ABSTRACT Back in the day, the onLoad event on our edmunds.com and insidelien.com pages used to take 9 seconds to fire! Yeah, we thought it was awful too. That's why in late 2008, we set out to do something about. In this talk, I will discuss the three main concepts that helped us take our pages from slow to really fast. Slides for...

Google Tech Talk January 5, 2011 Presented by Nikolas Coukouma. ABSTRACT HTML5 includes a specification for application caches. This unique feature allows a page to store needed static resources and start even when offline. This talk will cover both the basics and some more advanced uses. Hopefully it will answer most of your questions about what's possible and provide some hints about how to d...

Google Tech Talk January 10, 2011 Presented by Justine Cassell. ABSTRACT How do we build an interdisciplinary HCI that contributes equally to social theory and engineering practice? On the one hand, how do we maximize the benefits that theory can bring to the design of actual artifacts that improve health, well-being, education, and social change? On the other hand, how do we maximize the use o...

Google Tech Talk January 18, 2011 Presented by Dave Logan. ABSTRACT Every organization and company is a tribe, or a network of tribes-groups of 20 to 150 people that form naturally, in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of them. In this highly interactive session, Dave Logan shows executives how to upgrade their organization one tribe at a time. The result is unprecedented im...

Google Tech Talk November 15, 2010 ユニケージ開発手法 その思想と技術 データベース不要、テキストデータとシェル スクリプトで作る大規模システム (Unicage Development Method - Its Philosophy and Technologies DB-less Large-Scale System by Text Data and Shell Scripts) Japanese Audio 當仲寛哲 (Nobuaki Tounaka) ABSTRACT ユニケージ開発手法の技術と思想を紹介する。ユニケージは、シェルスクリプトでテキス­トデータを加工し、大企業向けの業務システムを短期間で開発する手法である。データ項­目は、常に追加・変更されるものという前提に立ち、柔軟な取り回しができるよう、至る­ところに工夫を凝らしている。また...

Google Tech Talk January 13, 2011 Presented by Kirk Sorensen. ABSTRACT Uranium-233 does not exist naturally, but about a ton of the stuff was transmuted from Thorium-232 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960's. Some people would have us blend this exceedingly rare element with natural uranium for disposal. However, Uranium-233 can be used in an advanced nuclear reactor with interesti...
