Amazing gear coming!

I have to admit. Microsoft has knocked my socks off this time. Their surface computing stuff looks pretty awesome.

Don't settle for reading an article; you've got to see this thing in action: http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9723647-1.html 

It's being proposed for uses on restaurant tabletops, though, which to my mind is a bit impractical. I'm thinking this will be fairly pricey, and do you really want a restaurant patron dumping a plate of spaghetti on your extremely expensive computer?

Still, kudoes to Microsoft for bringing us ever-closer to the world of Philip K. Dick.
