Search, Internet, Corporate R&D Gregory T. Huang wrote: When corporate R&D rains, it pours. On the heels of Intel Research Seattle’s annual open house, an even bigger tech giant across Lake Washington is stirring up some serious action across the pond. Microsoft announced today it is opening a European Search Technology Center, with three main offices in the Paris, London, and Munich areas. Its goal is “to tap into local expertise and fuel local innovation with job opportunities that will help reinvent the European consumer online and search experience,” according to a Microsoft statement. The center will be headed up by general manager Jordi Ribas, who hails from the Microsoft Connected TV business group. The European effort is being viewed as another way to compete with Google and other search engines in the battle for Internet advertising revenues, according to the New York Times, which quotes Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer as saying, “Investing in anything at this time can be a tough sell…But when economic times are tough, we have to keep our faith in the promise that technology holds to transform the future.” Ballmer did not say how much Microsoft is investing in the new search center, but did confirm it will employ several hundred workers. In a statement, Ballmer said, “To compete in a global, innovation-driven economy, we need to draw on the world’s smartest, most creative minds. Increasingly, we are finding the talent we need here in Europe.” Ballmer called the new search center “an important step forward in our long-term strategy to invest in local development of search technology in Europe. We believe search is still in its infancy. Developers at the Search Technology Centre will play a key role in helping us redefine search as they create new search products and services for consumers and advertisers here in Europe and around the world.” Comments | Permalink | Share |  E-mail Less

It’s been a while since I did some of these. Just as fun - and a bit inaccurate - as always. You See the World Through Blue Colored Glasses You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time. You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion. You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and you have the confidence to see problems through. You see love as the utmost expression of trust. Your relationships tend to be peaceful and stable. At your worst, you can be cool, melancholy, and detached. You sometimes have to step back from emotionally charged situations. You are at your happiest when you are able to reflect and relax. What Color Glasses Do You See the World Through? If you really want a treat, get yourself some rose-colored glasses. The world really does look better. My current sunglasses are amber. My old rose mirrorshades are too scratched up to wear anymore, and I haven’t found a new pair that was the right color and the right price… You Are 40% Extrovert, 60% Introvert You’re a bit outgoing, a bit reserved Like most people, you enjoy being social But you also value the time you have alone You have struck a good balance! Are You An Extrovert or An Introvert? Hmmm… that actually seems about right. I’m not sure that it’s so much a balance as a situational flexibility. The extroverted side feels a bit less natural to me - a little over-energetic - and I can’t sustain it over long periods of time. I sink into a very comfortable groove when I’m alone - daydreaming, reading, listening to music, writing, observing, thinking, questioning… That’s my center. Never Date a Virgo Demanding, picky, and a total perfectionist - there’s no way you want to live up to Virgo’s standards. It’s not that you couldn’t please a Virgo… you would just hate yourself for doing it. Instead try dating: Libra, Leo, Aquarius, or Aries What Sign Shouldn’t You Date? So noted (My husband is a Libra). Where's your dream home? Mountains You might like to live in the mountains! With the cooler temperatures, and nature all around you. Absolutely! But as long as we’re fantasizing about that, I’d also want some sort of personal flyer or hovercraft. Driving on mountain roads can get to be a bit tedious after a while. You Are Not Destined to Rule the World You are destined for something else… Like inventing a new type of cupcake. You just don’t have the stomach for brutality. But watch out - because many people do! Are You Destined For World Domination? Not destined to rule the world? Darn. Because I’m not brutal enough? And here I was thinking that it was the lack of meekness thing. You Are A Lily You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. What Flower Are You? Nurturer? I’m not liking the way this is going. First cupcake inventress, now this. It’s true that I’m very good to have around in a crisis, but I don’t really think that “soothing” is the first adjective that would come to mind… So here are some about how the various places I’ve lived might continue to have an influence - or not: You Are 52% Massachusetts You’re likely a Massachusetts transplant. Big rotaries still scare you, and you probably live outside of 495. How Massachusetts Are You? Yes. Big rotaries scare me, but being born in Massachusetts and living there for more than 20 years didn’t change that. And yes, I think every place I ever lived was outside 495. You have 43% Iowa in you!   Hey, not bad. You enjoy a little bit of the rural life. Next time you’re in the midwest check Iowa out. It’s not so bad. Do you have Iowa in you? Take More Quizzes Iowa City wasn’t really so much about the rural life. The quiz didn’t even ask about the Amana Colonies! The best question was about the festival that is held in Pella; I was really, really tempted to select “Window” festival… How French are You? You got 127 points. You’ve finally lived long enough in France for other people to notice your existence! Sure, NOW! Actually, I would move to Paris in a heartbeat if I could make a living there. I miss it. You Are 32% California You’re not from California - don’t try to game this quiz! How California Are You? Ok, I’m not really sure that a summer near UCLA really counts… but it was fun. HOW GEORGIA ARE YOU? Your Result: IMMIGRATE   YOU MOVED TO GEORGIA FROM SOME OTHER PLACE. YOU SEEM TO HAVE SOME INTERSEST IN THE STATE AND HAVE TRIED TO UNDERSTAND OUR HERITAGE AND HISTORY. ALTHOUGH YOUR NOT BORN AND BRED, U HAVE SOME PRIDE. BORN AND BRED   DAMN YANKEE!   HOW GEORGIA ARE YOU? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz I’ve been here in Georgia since 1992. Most Georgians still place me in the “damn Yankee” category, but Atlanta is a little bit different. There are people from all over the world living in Atlanta. I’ve tried to understand the heritage and history, but I would have to say “not really” on the pride. The weather is great, and I’ve met some wonderful people here, but it’s a tough place for me to live in many ways. You Are Pinot Noir Sophisticated and worldly, you probably know more about wine than most drinkers. You have great taste, and you approach all aspects of life with a gourmet attitude. You believe that the little things in life should be cherished and enjoyed… and of the best quality possible. And while you may take more time to eat a meal or tour a city, it’s always time well spent. Deep down you are: A seductive charmer Your partying style: Refined. And you would never call it “partying” Your company is enjoyed best with: Stinky expensive cheese What Kind of Wine Are You? Stinky expensive cheese? Gah! Your Famous Last Words Will Be: “What we know is not much. What we don’t know is enormous.” What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?
