yes there are at least 4 people from Sphere in that photo, including John Morelli and Stoney Hall.

I don't think this video has been posted yet. JM & PB presenting at Briforum Boston. Peter is very excited about the commercial prospects for a distributed architecture model using hc appliances.

Also, he flags a new tech milestone coming in next few weeks... context-aware desktops

This is also worth a look.. the China manufacturing plant we acquire in the Overland merger

The Guangzhou plant (GTEC), being a fully owned subsidiary of Tandberg and now part of OVRL, certainly appears to be a world class manufacturing facility that, besides making hardware for Tandberg and now Overland data storage products, also does contract work for other OEM's. I couldn't be more impressed with the first impression this facility gives one as it looks magnificent.

The Boston Briforum presentation I found pretty disjointed, but since I am not a techie, it was mainly over my head and since the host was wearing a Sphere-sponsored T-shirt I took it the presentations were meant to be quite informal. I never quite understood PB's part of the presentation but liked how J Morelli came across in his segment. Have no clue what JB was talking about when he referenced the context-aware desktops but we will find out soon enough and it will be another feather in the cap for the sales force.

What I found extremely positive in the presentation was that both JB and JM seemed to not want to give too much info out verbally, all they wanted to do was get the attendees to stop by the booth so that they could be handled one on one and, most importantly, that they see a working DEMO of Glassware. Much has been touted at these presentations, but Glassware is so good it has to be seen to be believed. That is the point I got from what they were trying to convey during the presentation. If we have been giving these demos for the past quarter then we should have made a LOT of important eyes aware of just how much the V3/Glassware/OVRL package can bring to an end user and simplify their IT experience and facilitate seamless communication between all their worldwide people,devices, and applications. I just hope the total sales force has the same belief in the product (don't see why they wouldn't if they understand it properly) and pushes it as hard as the inventors do.
