About Me
- Name: Sushant Bhatia
- Location: Tempe, Az
I work at CUbiC, the Center for Ubiquitous Computing at ASU. We are developing applications and devices for individuals who are blind. I personally am in charge of developing the iCare BookReader. This device will allow individuals who are blind to have print material read to them. The interface is intuitive and accessible. The process is much faster than using a scanner and our BookReader is quite feature rich. On a personal note, I love coding especially in .Net and C#.
My blog is about coding in .Net and about my interests in general. I love to read, esp Discworld novels by Terry Prattchet. I will post items about work, school, cool stuff and ideas for projects I have. If your ever interested in any of them, let me know as I would love to work on some of them.

Whats Longhorn gonna require?
Our building has a security team monitoring it day and night. Since I'm here all night, most nights, i've gotton to know a few of the security guards (those that bother to patrol the halls anyways). They are pretty cool guys always willing to listen with wide eyes about the work and research as well as other tech stuff. So today, actually a few minutes ago, one guy asked me what's next for computers. I told him about the DUAL core CPU's that are becoming the fad.
Then I wondered, what does MS thing will the requirements be for Longhorn. So I went to google and found this little excerpt from Technically Speaking.
Microsoft is expected to recommend that the “average” Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.
Well at least I have almost a terrabyte of storage on all my machines put together. :-) Oh and I have a built in Gigabit ethernet built into all my comps motherboards too.
