    MS know how to make Computing students love them. A really nice tight IDE (that they give to students for free as well) and an excellent development environment (.NET). Not to mention they give students a lot of other free software. But yeah, they really know how to market to programmers. #microsofttouchlessuserinterface...

    It's a clear glass display which accepts input through voice-control, touch-less gestures, and eye-tracking.

    Where I'm from, that costs $2/minute and you have to clean up the little room when you're finished. #microsofttouchlessuserinterface...

    The progression of several prototypes are really looking nice, with Surface, this prototype, and other interactive displays from a couple other companies give us a glimpse of what I imagine we will start seeing in some semi-regular fashion around the middle of the next decade.

    The funny part is that we'll likely be thinking of it all as just regular technology within a few years and asking the same question of why the future isn't coming soon enough.

    Sure, we don't have flying cars, but we have hybrids and electric cars, as well as a fairly futuristic-looking Aptera, we have cellphones a dime a dozen compared to when I were a kid thinking that might be impossible (Sure, there were the brick phones in the box from Cellular one for 5.99 a minute, but that's another topic.), and many of us never thought we'd see flatpanel TVs, only thinking that a hundred inch would take some REALLY HUGE CRTs or lamps. And did anyone think we were going to have Tazer guns already? It's no phaser, but they are sci-fi like. Just saying.

    But back to today, I am amazed at alot of technology is shaping to look like. That includes this display. I certainly can't wait to take a closer look at it, either. Now, who wants to play Peggle on this thing? #microsofttouchlessuserinterface...

    i know some things...not everything, but some things. i have no idea what ultrasound baby-spotting is. not even a small clue. what is baby-spotting? and why must it be done via ultrasound? and why is it so difficult that it's important to note an advancement of 8x? #acoustichyperlens

    @wileecoyote: It's not baby-spotting. It's "babe" spotting. The use of acoustic waves to detect hotties around you in 3D. Kind of like what Ben Affleck could do in that Daredevil movie. The benefits of 8x improvements should be self-evident.

    Once I figured out that Xiang Zhang is probably the Chinese arm of Zig Zag, it all became clear. #acoustichyperlens

    @wileecoyote: There's a misplaced hyphen, so it's not your fault that this was difficult to understand.

    "ultrasound-baby spotting"

    Hope that clears things up for you. #acoustichyperlens

    Eco? I don't think so. This thing took resources to build and also uses electricity for something that doesn't need it. In the end this thing is just something that itself will eventually end up in the land fill or have to be dismantled and recycled. It's a joke to call it "Eco".

    @jmonty: In the sense that it promotes recycling to some who might be too lazy to crush cans with a non-automated tool (or no tool at all for that matter).
