100G FPGA based router/switch/web server. Directly coupled storage and memory. High end server and networking hardware looks like 14.4k modems when compared. JVM that can perform GC concurrently and all sorts of neat stuff.

A nonparametric model for anomaly detection, classification, and prediction in timeseries. It observes the trajectory of some measurement over time and compares it to tons of historical trajectories to see if it looks like anything that has happened before. Based on what it looks like, you can predict where it will go next, classify it (if the historical trajectories are labeled), or detect anomalies (if it doesn't look sufficiently like anything seen so far).

Cloud done right. Hardware that is approximately indistinguishable from tin sitting on your datacenter floor, pay by the second.

To elaborate slightly. I mean hardware that you can run anything on, complete with full BMC, fast persistent disk storage (1K IOPS+), and any number of full layer 2 cross connectable networks. All pay by the second.

Already a major company in Australia with enterprise and government clients. Coming to the US soon.

Currently working on an office timesheet application that's going to make staff 'clocking in' a lot more productive and regimented. Previously built a couple of applications to help improve productivity in motorsport and automotive engineering.

Will this let me see the faces of users watching my film? If I can't see the face then I don't want it. Whenever I screen my films I like to see the face of the person who is watching it. In fact I setup a camera pointing at my audience so I can watch the faces later. I like to see the reaction of someone's face to my movie. It's very important feedback since the face doesn't lie.
