[tech] Microsoft's Surface - wow

sorry if im a bit slow. but is he talking about swiss watches???

 

well, that would require actually getting up from the couch.....duh!!!

 

This is nothing new.

 

this reminds me of that movie "the island."

 

I'm thinking a Wiimote or two would make this an awesome device.

 

He is referring to the Gizmondo, with which DaDa was involved.

 

Technically I sold my company to a group which in turn sold on to Gizmondo and I cashed out....so it was a very good thing for me.

But it could have been much better.

The thing in the video about having them in restaurants is awesome. Would love to order using a touch screen.

Don't know how the phone thing works though.

 

Hilarious parody. Especially, "Now, instead of playing with your kids, you can watch a video of them playing by themselves."

 

WOW this is too high tech

 

Hahaha too funny. I agree with the part of all of your friends kids over it.

 

Here is another new Microsoft product, the best stuff is at the end of the video.

And balls! Don't forget balls!

 

Yes, lets talk about the pornographical applications.

 

That is really freaking cool. I could see some really neat applications of that as relating to the human body, where you can show a picture of a person and zoom in through their orifices or pores and travel throughout their body seeing all the different photographs of the internal workings of the human body. I'd dig that.

 

I have no problem with 'virtualizing' the keyboard or touchpad inside the surface. But from a gaming perspective (especially first person shooters), you need the precision and control that you can only get from physically holding a mouse.

 

it's proof M$ is evil, it's like the executive's table from Tron.
