HP celebrated its 40th anniversary of selling overpriced printer ink by revealing Misto, a concept from its labs that combines a coffee table with a touch-screen PC. The giant screen, of undetermined resolution, would be used by a group, which would gather around and play board games, look at maps, or arrange pictures for viewing. Since it's just a concept, there is no indication of when or if it will be developed, and if so how much it will cost. No question, it certainly won't be cheap—this is a coffee table that doesn't exactly invite you to put up your feet.
