Let's hope Apple don't start arresting people for stuff they haven't done yet![]()
Like the RIAA does?

I think apple is trying to invent the mouse and from the looks of it I can't wait to see this in Macs and iphones

I dunno, their line of displays has not been updated in a millenia. WHY? I have A guess.. Something big is coming.i'm sure we won't be seeing it in the immediate future, but the mid future looks pretty awesome!
Looks like a Helm console from the USS Enterprise (Star Trek)

Anyway, I think this thing would be useless without an LCD behind it.
Oh, and Microsoft surface isn't constrained to the coffee table type device, in theory it works with any capacitive touch screen.

No they did not. They pioneered it just like Multi-Touch but they did not invent either. Ever heard of Xerox?![]()

Can't wait, looks awesome. I really don't think we will see this for about 2 years though. Right now Apple is gradually training us with little samples of Multi-Touch being put into the products and then in about 2 years when they release 10.6 they will fully implement it with these devices and the laptops will probably be keyboardless and just have a surface like this.
Now I do wonder about one thing... Windows is going to be adding this to Windows 7 and I know they will not be able to implement is as well as Apple already is with hardware. But isn't anyone concerned about standardization??? Right now as far as mouse and keyboard all OS's basically function the same. But with each having their own Multi-Touch, each OS is going to have totally different chords and gestures and it will be really confusing to go from one OS to another unless they standardize these chords and gestures. Anyone have thoughts on this???
Thats mean. That's like letting a child know there is no Santa. Can't you let the fanboys have their fantasy? It makes them feel all happy and safe.![]()
yeah, and in theory communism works... IN theory.

There is a group out there somewhere trying to standardize gestures for MultiTouch technology but I simply can't find it now that I want to post the link!!
