May 30 2007Microsoft Surface
Microsoft has unveiled Surface, their surface computing device. It's basically a touch-sensitive interactive table which can also interface with other devices such as the MS Zune. It looks cool and all, but seems like it'd be difficult to use after you started to lose all the feeling in your neck. I know it defeats the purpose, but couldn't they prop it up like a monitor?

If you were going to do some work for someone over the course of 30 days, would you rather be paid $1,000,000 at the end of the 30 days or have your salary doubled every day starting at only a penny on the first day? In other words, on the first day you would make 1 cent, the second day 2 cents, the 3rd day 4 cents etc..

I'd imagine your arms would get tired if it were propped up like a monitor.

nothing will spill out, so it could be mounted on the ceiling, if you so wanted.

[...] Visitando Geekologie y Nopuedocreer, me encuentro con dos inventos geniales, muy parecidos entre sí. Es la informática del futuro: táctil multipunto. Impresionante el motor gráfico de ambas (y el dineral que habrá costado). Ojalá en 20 años todos tengamos uno de estos en casa. [...]

Another STEAL from Microsoft.
There have been other companies working on this as well.
(Think back to about a year/year and a half ago)
Yup, Microsoft is the victor again.
