Surface
Usually, big announcements of exciting new technologies don’t get me particularly riled up. Usually I only read about things like a new release of Windows or the iPhone with relatively passing interest.
But Microsoft announced something today that got my attention. It’s called Microsoft Surface.
It’s one of those ideas that seem simple in concept, but it really pretty amazing in execution. The videos on the page really show off the possibilities. These bad boys will probably cost several thousand dollars at first, but it will be really cool to see these around and then see them in the home when they become reasonably priced. I just hope that it will become easy for the open source community to take advantage of it as well (I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t.)
