Submission + - Update: Arthur C. Clarke Independent Film Delayed

SoyChemist writes: When an Industrial Light and Magic employee set out to complete a short film based on Maelstrom II by Arthur C. Clarke's 90th birthday, it looked like he would finish on time. When his sources of funding backed out, filmmaker Jeroen Lapré watched his project slow to a crawl in post-production. Just over a month before his self-imposed deadline, Lapré is far behind schedule and terrified that he may not be able to complete the film before the bedridden legend passes away. A rough cut of the first third of the film is available on his website. It shows that his project is far from complete.

Submission + - Microsoft's Changes its Approach to Workspace (nwsource.com)

NewsCloud writes: "As Microsoft's Puget Sound workforce grows past 35,510 (83% growth since 2000), it's approach to building out workspace for its employees is changing. "The 388-acre corporate campus, one of the world's largest, consumes enough electricity to light some 50,000 homes...the private office is being replaced with open floor plans or large team work rooms" By 2009, Microsoft's workspace will consume the equivalent of more than 5.3 Columbia Towers (pdf), Seattle's tallest building with 76 floors.
