Designed for use in an implantable eye-pressure monitor, University of Michigan researchers developed what is believed to be the first complete millimeter-scale computing system.

Today, we are unveiling significant language and framework enhancements in C# and Visual Basic that enable developers to harness asynchrony, letting them retain the control flow from their synchronous code while developing responsive user interfaces and scalable web applications with greater ease.   This CTP delivers a lightweight asynchronous development experience as close to the standard synchronous paradigms as possible, while providing an easy on-ramp to the world of concurrency.

Adding "await" and "async" keywords is genius!

I think somebody should make this phone!

GameTable Online is an Internet game site featuring web versions of popular, real-world tabletop games that you play against other human players from around the world. Instead of scheduling a face-to-face game session, you can log on to GTO from a computer and play whenever you want.

GameTable Online focuses on turn-based strategy games. All of our games are based on real-world games and are fully licensed (where applicable) so they look and play like their real-world counterparts. Our aim is to provide a variety of games from a variety of publishers.

If there is a particular game that you would like to see on GTO, please let us know by posting your request in the Game Request forum board and tell the publisher of the game how their game would be a perfect at GameTable Online! If you are a game publisher and are interested in having your games brought to the Web, please contact Robert Eng.

We're excited to announce the Facebook C# SDK alpha release. This is our first official C# SDK, built to meet the needs of the significant community of Facebook developers using C#.

The SDK has a number of features. It:

• Works with both Web (ASP.NET) and desktop applications.
• Uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
• Supports a convenient way of making calls to the new Graph API using the OAuth 2.0 access token.

The C# SDK adheres to the elegantly simple design philosophy of all our new SDKs. It also includes a small example program to help you get started.

You can download the open source Facebook C# SDK from GitHub today. Please submit your feedback and report any issues you might encounter with this alpha version code. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.

Andrey, a Facebook engineer, built this SDK as a Hackathon project.

Wow, this guy really likes double rainbows!
