Amazon's Jeff Bezos: Color-Screened Kindle Is "Multiple Years" Away
We think the perfect e-reader would require a color screen, but Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said today that not only is a color version of the Kindle not imminent, but that "I know it's multiple years. I don't know how many years but it's years." Lame. More » -

Confirmed: Microsoft's New Search Engine Is Called 'Bing', Opens June 3rd
Steve Ballmer just confirmed rumors that Microsoft's new search engine, previously called Kumo, has been christened with the wonderfully onomatopoeic, possibly stupid name, "Bing". UPDATE: And it's coming next week. More » -

Immersion's New Haptic Touchscreen Tech Encourages Corny iPhone Romance
Haptic technology has the possibility to make touchscreens so much better, improving accuracy and adding a whole new range of sensory feedback. Immersion, primary developers of haptic technology, presented both a refined onscreen keyboard and an incredibly cheesy "Immersive Messaging" protocol at this year's All Things D conference. More » -

Rape-Free Cellphones

Microsoft's New Search Engine Might Be Called 'Bing'
Microsoft is planning to publicly unveil their new , codenamed "Kumo", to the public at All Things D as early as today. We don't know a whole lot about it, but word is they're calling it "Bing", as in the cherry, the Crosby or the sound of Microsoft's planned $100m planned advertising budget bouncing off of Google's market share.

Dean Kamen's Full Bionic Luke Arm Video from All Things D
We showed you some of the video from Dean Kamen's appearance at the All Things D: D6 conference back in May and it included some demos of the amazing Luke Arm prosthetic limb. Now All Things D has made the three-part entire interview available, and it includes detailed explanations from Kamen about why he got into the research and development of the limb, and specifics of the development process from early prototypes up. It's fascinating, and Kamen makes for compelling watching. More » -

All Things D Live: Melinda Gates, Bride of Bill
One of the most fascinating profiles I've read this year is the Melinda Gates cover story from Fortune. She's here at Walt and Kara's All Things D Conference to talk about The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where Bill will be directing most of his energy come July. Although this is not directly gadget related, I'm excited to hear how Microsofties make philanthropy happen in their own way. More » -

All Things D: Nathan Myhrvold, Founder of Intellectual Ventures
This may not be a typical gadget post, but here's an idea that fascinates me. Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO of Microsoft, left to found a company called Intellectual Ventures. They invest in invention, not companies. He's been the subject of a New Yorker article on the abundance of big ideas by Malcolm Gladwell, which covers the basics of what they do at IV. I believe that Nathan also worked on a post-doc in Cosmology alongside Stephen Hawking. Mossberg is interviewing him at D, right now. More » -

Caption Contest: Steve Ballmer's Whiteboard From All Things Digital
During their interview last night at All Things D, Walt Mossberg called Steve Ballmer the "maestro of the whiteboard" and presented him with a fresh one to explain how online advertising works.

Sony's Howard Stringer to Unveil New 0.3mm-Thick OLED Displays Today
While yesterday's All Things D conference had appearances by Gates and Ballmer unveiling Windows 7, today will feature Sony CEO Howard Stringer. He'll be there showing off new OLED displays measuring an insane 0.3mm thick. That's three tenths of a millimeter, or about the thickness of a playing card. Let's hope they're a little more generous in the surface area than their first OLED display, eh? [Silicon Alley Insider] -

Quotable: Bill Gates Hates Monopolies?!

Windows 7 Features Revealed
Here's what Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer revealed about Windows 7 at All Things Digital a few minutes ago. The biggest "feature" is the touch and multi-touch integration, which takes many of its roots from Microsoft's Surface Table, and will be available as an interface options for other apps. Here's some more stuff they pulled out, which we captured in photos here. More » -

Windows 7: First Official Photos
The first legit shots of Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista, were just unveiled by Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in person at the All Things D conference. It's the evolution of the surface table, using multitouch on the desktop. Looks like Tablet PC. I'm not impressed so far, but only because it doesn't move that far beyond the Surface Table demos we saw last year. More photos in a bit. [All Things D]

A Highlight of My Year: All Things D Conference This Week
Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher's conference, All Things D, will be starting tonight, and I'm excited to be attending the entire event. You've got hours of great interviews between Walt and Kara and tech titans like Gates and Ballmer of Microsoft, Howard Stringer of Sony, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Tom Rogers of TiVo and Michael Dell of...Dell. This year, we don't get another Gates and Jobs talk, but we do get to listen to Mrs Bill, Melinda Gates talk about her work at The Foundation. This is without doubt my favorite conference of the year because the bullshit is kept to a minimum, there's always news and free ice cream. And Powerpoint is banned from all presentations. My only complaint is that I generally end up liveblogging 5 hours a day solo at this thing, which isn't what I call a walk in the park. [AllThingsD] -

Steve Jobs Kinda Answers Some iPhone Questions
Mossberg gets Steve Jobs to talk iPhone. Except when he asks about version 2.0. Those questions are forbidden. The rest of the questions are important ones. Like will we see this on other carriers? Why no 3G? Will you include GPS? Will there be lower cost versions? Aaaaand, Jobs dodged those, too. An old lesson, learned again: Mossberg may have the power to command a Steve jobs interview, but he can't make him answer questions. [All Things D] -

This is getting crazy. I just got a tip that someone spotted Walt Mossberg picking up Ruths Chris takeout while talking on an iPhone. Walt Mossberg Tips!
