sarahintampa — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:21:00 GMT

There’s a new video series available on our sister site, Channel 9, that delves into the tech behind Virtual Earth. The series is called “Behind the Maps,” and it will show you how the data and imagery in Virtual Earth goes through the whole process from camera to web and beyond. You’ll learn about the high-resolution cameras used – like the incredible UltraCam, how imagery is captured from a plane, how imagery is processed, and more. Of course, you’ll get to learn more about the Virtual Earth platform itself and its 3D control that delivers the imagery to your browser window. The first video is up now and will feature an up-close look at the UltraCam – check it out!

Bill Gates on Channel 9

Bill Gates and Charles Torre got together at TechEd to talk about his transition into the future and the changes in his goals as he goes from driving Microsoft to driving the Gates Foundation.

This is a good opportunity to see some of the gears turning behind decisions like putting Ray Ozzie in the CSA seat, how we address competitors, increasing agility while growing, and what developers should be paying attention to this decade and next.

Wired Magazine interviewer interview

Larry — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 03:30:00 GMT

In a roundabout way, you can thank Jeff Sandquist for a naked Pam Beasley on the cover of Wired Magazine. After a long discussion about corporate transparency at the Wired offices, they devoted an issue to it including an article on Channel 9 (and mention of Channel 10).

So in the rush that was our CES coverage, Fred Vogelstein followed us around watching us work. We stopped for lunch and while I edited and uploaded video through my 3G phone, Jeff turned the camera on the interviewer. This is that interview.
