THIS IS CRAZY!!

I don't know if anyone has seen this, I just saw it on my local news, and it's amazing. Microsoft has come up with this tabletop computer, and it's all hands-on. No keyboard, no mouse, none of that. It's called the "Microsoft Surface". They showed this pool of water, with river rocks in it, and it looks crystal clear, amazing graphics, and then the guy swipes the screen with his hand, and the water splashes, with ripples and everything. It's like he really just splashed some real water, only it's all on the screen. It's crazy. They showed another clip where the guy goes to a restaurant menu, scrolls through the menu(like on an iPhone), finds what he wants, drags it to the "order" icon in the middle of the screen, and presses the button. He then puts his credit card on the table, sets the tip amount, and presses "order". Some of you might of already seen this, but I haven't, and I'm completely blown away. Here's the link to Microsoft's page on it: The Surface

The ordering is a good idea, but the river thing? Thats kind of lame if you ask me. If you wanna splash a river go out and do it lol.

Re: THIS IS CRAZY!!

sorry but why waste our valuable resources on unneeded things when we really could use them, say for taking over some country not saying any names even though theres some in my mind

I got a river a couple yards from my house, good forest also...lotsof places to go around. But you know, I wouldn't mind having my table be a computer :lol: See how playing Fable works out. World of Warcraft players can now officially put their gaming snacks on their screens.

I've seen that, it looks pretty cool. I like how if you put your blue tooth device on it you can instantly see the pictures. The functionality looks fairly limited right now though. I was going to post this a while back +rep
