Just a reminder that the IEEE Networking Forum is coming up on Thursday 30th July 2009.
In this economy, you want to give yourself the maximum exposure to recruiting companies as possible. The IEEE Networking Forum gives you a chance to talk to future employers and also get valuable information.
Students from all four major universities in Perth will be attending.
Head to http://www.ieeenetworkingforum.org for more info.
Applications have opened again for Microsoft Internships for the engineering roles SDE and SDET.
As posted often on WA MSP, Microsoft Internships are an awesome way to get a headstart in your career, while learning a bunch and having heaps of fun.

Options are Good. In life and in your career. |
A Real World Experience like No Other. As an intern at Microsoft, you’ll have real responsibility, real work, and real opportunities to jumpstart your career. (You’ll get paid, too!) It’s an experience you’ll never find in a classroom. You’ll be given manageable assignments that you can complete while you’re here, and your efforts will likely take shape in Microsoft products—or be used by Microsoft teams—long after you return to school. And imagine millions of customers, not to mention your classmates, seeing your work! Some interns even parlay their experience into a job offer.
An Opportunity to Shine. Our interns make a real difference. Not by filing paperwork or running errands, but by developing real products. Here, you’ll run your own projects and put your skills to work. This is why our internship program is one of the most successful in the industry. You’ll learn more in 12 weeks than you would in a whole school year. It’s the kind of work that gets noticed by millions of people all over the world. Kind of redefines the whole concept of internships, don’t you think?

A little good news to brighten your exam-study filled days (’cause everyone is studying for exams now, right? right?) – Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing (i.e. the RTM version) during the second half of July and should hit general availability (i.e. the consumer market) on October 22 of this year!
Check out the Press Release and stay tuned for information on a Windows 7 countdown timer…
It’s rare to have a serious new entry into the search market that makes people sit and up and pay attention. Lately the only one that comes to mind is Wolfram Alpha, although they claim to be aiming at a niche search market rather than directly competing with the likes of Google.
Enter Bing – the new search engine from Microsoft which has now replaced live.com as the default for searching. Sporting not only a new interface and a catchy name (which Microsoft are hoping will become a verb) Bing will help you search the web smarter – allowing you to drill down to the information that you need as quickly as possible. Even though it’s only been around for a number of days it’s already garnered interesting support from the press – and surprisingly positive support from the likes of Steve Wozniak (Apple co-founder).
Can the good roll continue? We can only hope so!
