Default Microsoft Surface Blogger Days

http://www.slashgear.com/slashgear-....php#more-12119

"Vincent has been hanging out with Microsoft at their latest Surface Blogger Event, getting hands-on with the company’s MultiTouch table. All of the user experiences we’ve heard about over the past few months were out on show, including the Rio iBar gaming, entertainment browser and virtual mini-bar, and AT&T’s in-store use of Surface as a phone information and accessory tool. They also demonstrated some of the table’s other talents, including its ability to photograph and display, in real-time, anything placed onto it - whether that be money, a drink or even a blogger’s face!"



Since I'm a consumer-focused guy, I see the business-focused Surface stuff Microsoft is doing today as laying the groundwork for what is hopefully some very innovative consumer implementations a few years from now. Surface as a concept is amazingly powerful and I'm looking forward to the way it might change in-home computing in the next decade. I'm also looking forward to the innovative ways they're going to solve the problem of most people not having power outlets in the middle of their living rooms. ;-)

Wireless AC!

Ha! More like in floor power receptacles. Only you'll need an electrician, not Microsoft.
