Nintendo's 2007 E3 press conference, here on
YouTube right now. Sorry, but there's a 10
minute gap at the beginning that you can just
skip, not much to see there.

| Solvay Physics Conference 1927 |
 |
http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com
The most known people who participated in the
conference were Ervin Schrodinger, Niels
Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Auguste Piccard,
Paul Dirac, Max Born, Wolfgang Pauli, Louis
de Broglie, Marie Curie, Hendrik Lorentz,
Albert Einstein and others.
The film opens with quick shots of Erwin
Schrodinger and Niels Bohr. Auguste Piccard
of the University of Brussels follows and
then the camera re-focuses on Schrodinger and
Bohr.
Schrodinger who developed wave mechanics
never agreed with Bohr on quantum mechanics.
Solvay gave Heisenberg an opportunity to
discuss his new uncertainty principle theory.
Max Born's statistical interpretation of the
wave function ended determinism in atomic
world.
These men - Bohr, Heisenberg, Kramers, Dirac
and Born together with Born represent the
founding fathers of quantum mechanics.
Louis de Broglie wrote his dissertation on
the wave nature of matter which Schrodinger
used as basis for wave mechanics.
Albert Einstein whose famous response to
Born's statistical interpretation of wave
function was "God does not play dice."
Twenty-nine physicists, the main quantum
theorists of the day, came together to
discuss the topic "Electrons and Photons".
Seventeen of the 29 attendees were or became
Nobel Prize winners.
Following is a "home movie" shot by Irving
Langmuir, (the 1932 Nobel Prize winner in
chemistry). It captures 2 minutes of an
intermission in the proceedings. Twenty-one
of the 29 attendees are on the film.

| Seattle Conference on Scalability: Scalable Wikipedia with E |
 |
Google Tech Talks
June 14, 2008
ABSTRACT
IGlobal online services at Amazon, eBay,
Myspace, YouTube, or Google serve millions of
customers with tens of thousands of servers
located throughout the world. At this scale,
components fail continuously and it is
difficult to maintain a consistent state
while hiding failures from the application.
Peer-to-peer protocols provide availability
by replicating services among peers, but they
are mostly limited to write-once/read-many
data sharing. To extend them beyond the
typical file sharing, the support of fast
transactions on distributed hash tables
(DHTs) is an important yet missing feature.
We will present a distributed key/value store
based on a DHT that supports consistent
writes. Our system comprises three layers:
- a DHT layer for scalable, reliable access
to replicated data,
- a transaction layer to ensure data
consistency in the face of concurrent write
operations,
- an application layer with an extremely high
access rate.
For the application layer, we selected a
distributed, scalable Wiki with full
transaction support. We will show that our
Wiki outperforms the public Wikipedia in
terms of served page requests per second and
we will discuss how the development of the
distributed code benefited from the use of
Erlang.
This is joint work of Zuse Institute Berlin
and onScale solutions GmbH.
Speaker: Thorsten Schuett, Zuse Institute
Berlin
Thorsten Schütt is a senior researcher with
the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and a
co-founder of onScale solutions GmbH. He
received a CS diploma with distinction in
2002 from the Technical University Berlin.
Since then he works as a research staff
member in the Computer Science Research
Department at ZIB and participates in several
EU projects like GridLab, XtreemOS and
Selfman. He is the principal system architect
of the scalable, transactional key/value
store at ZIB. His research interests include
distributed data management, scalable grid
systems, p2p algorithms and self-managing
transactional
storage systems.
