Today, Microsoft released update 1.5 for the Kinect on Windows. This update gives developers lot of new tools for recording and debugging gameplay, as well as better tracking for the device.
In detail, developers will now be able to record testing data which will allow them to see how the user’s interactions with the Kinect are being read and allow them to better debug their applications and games. Furthermore, the update also improves how the Kinect tracks people’s movements, including when “a user is sitting at a desk or needs to stand close to an interactive display.“ The update even takes it a step further by implementing real-time 3D facial tracking, which will open new doors for new innovations in the way players interact with their games. This new feature, according to Microsoft, “will provides a real-time 3D mesh of facial features—tracking the head position, location of eyebrows, shape of the mouth, etc.”
In addition to the new tools available to developers, the update brings new speech recognition for four languages: French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. The Kinect has also been made available in Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. The Kinect will be available next month in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, India, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates.
A world united by Kinect Adventures is a dream soon fulfilled.

My laptop broke and the place that fixed it had to remove and replace the hard drive. This meant I lost all the programs installed on it. Unfortunately, that includes Microsoft Office 2007. But I still have the product key (a 25 digit code). Is it possible, and how can I, reinstall Microsoft Office? I really need it for college work.

I had a free trial of microsoft expression web 2 for class, but it has expired so now I’m trying to buy the software. I looked on the microsoft website, but I can only find where they’re selling the newest version, microsoft expression web 3. I’m wondering if there’s much of a difference between the two and if I should go ahead and buy the M. E. Web 3.
Any suggestions?

If the stone were thrown harder, and left with 1.5 times the initial speed, you might expect it to go farther, but how exactly does that happen?

The horizontal component of the velocity is multiplied by what factor?
How many times farther does the stone land from the building?
