    Default Oh, wow. This is awesome...

    Microsoft's new Surface.... Jeez... This is amazing. Seamless integration with bluetooth and wifi compatible electronics, hell you can pay by simply laying your credit card on the "table". Holy fuck Microsoft. Amazing, just fucking amazing. I've never been so hyped about technology before...I'm such a geek. DAMN PROUD!

    Heres the main-man himself showing it off This morning:

    This whole new level of interactivity we be enough to seal the deal with Microsoft. I think that whole deal with the "claiming linux infringed on patents but we're not going to do anything, we're just going to state that you infringed on our patents" was to cover up the going ons with this. They probably made some major move with this during that time, but this is still unbelievable. In about 5-6 years you can have this sitting on your coffee table with TV Guide displayed instead of PIP on your TV. Or a simple RSS feed, FUCKIN HELL!!!! You have have the newspaper displayed while you have your coffee in the morning, with little interactive steam coming from the hot mug!!!

    I saw a presentation on this a while ago...different video. They didn't show the credit card/camera/mp3 stuff though...that is just amazing!

    Haven't gotten around to the second video yet.

    That's pretty damn impressive. That really is the next step of computer technology-- making it seem very natural.
