Can This Man Beat the Flu with a Single Universal Vaccine?
Ingmar Bergman’s famous 1957 movie The Seventh Seal takes place during the 14th century, when Europe is in the midst of a major epidemic of the bubonic plague–the Black Death–which ultimately killed about half the population. A Swedish knight, Antonius Block, returns from the Crusades and finds Death waiting for him. He challenges Death, later seen disguised as a priest, to a chess match, hoping to stave off his own death by devising what he hopes is a winning next move.
For the past three decades, researchers and health workers have engaged in a similar battle against one of the most cunning viruses to afflict humanity and much of the animal world: the dread influenza virus. This pathogen is even smarter than Death; it continuously changes the appearance of its chess pawns–the proteins on its coat–so that im-mune systems do not recognize the new disguise.
Microsoft opens DevLabs, a new developer portal
In the run-up to its Professional Developers Conference, Microsoft on Friday opened a new initiative to let the developer community hear about and try early developer tools that the software giant is working on.
DevLabs is an online portal where Microsoft plans to share some "early thinking" and let developers help shape the direction of projects, wrote S. Somasegar, senior vice president in Microsoft's developer division in a blog entry. Developers will also get to use some early versions of tools in order to offer feedback.
Many of the projects will start with people who work in Microsoft's developer division, but they can come from other groups that may be working on projects geared toward developers, he said.
Somasegar stressed that the site isn't meant to draw feedback on next releases of existing products, since mechanisms for that are already in place. The projects featured on DevLabs will be early ideas that haven't yet been hammered into exact products, he said. Some projects could become features in existing products, others might be open sourced for the community and others may be trashed, he said.
For now, DevLabs is featuring four projects, including Small Basic, first unveiled on Thursday. Small Basic is a development tool for beginning developers that could be used by kids or adults. It is inspired by the BASIC programming language and based on .Net.
Pex and Popfly, two projects that have been around for a while, are also featured on the site. Popfly users can create games, mashups and Web pages, and Pex is a software testing tool.
Finally, developers can get involved with the creation of Chess, another software testing tool that Microsoft has been developing for a couple years and that it plans to reveal more about next week at its Professional Developers Conference.
