[CVALE] Surface Computing - Is this the Future?

[Landon Blake]

I thought you might be interested in these two video clips. What do you
think about the two videos? How will Linux adapt to this new type of
computing technology? Will this even be possible if Microsoft is
responsible for developing the hardware?

Here is the other side of the coin. Kinda funny, and makes some good
points.

This looks like it could be some pretty cool technology:

It's a preview and demo of Micorsoft's "Surface Computing" interface and

it looks like it's step in the right direction. Of course, they don't 
talk about how accessible the interface will be, but the concept looks 
good to me!

The only thing better would be a 3D holographic interface, but I imagine

that's coming too someday soon.
