Today I attended Intel's - Software Developer Supercomputing Conference, 2009. It was a really great conference. Lot of ideas were shared by intel people like how to improve application performance using threads, libraries (like MKL-Math Kernel Library), using their new products, etc. etc.
The session was interactive enough and at the last they distributed Intel's T-shirts :)

Today I came across bleeding edge research of the year 2009 - Pranav Mistri's "sixth sense". It's a simple, wearable device that enhances the real world with digital information.
Great to see future developments in this area..
