Microsoft Research Demos Motion Sensing Keyboard with Gestures

True. Good thing MS gave everyone a heads up, and are now in the process of fixing it.
Everyone has bugs and exploits. Everyone. Even Apple. No one can claim their OS is 100% secure, or account for every single function of every single line of code that makes up all their services and programs. It's just one of those things.
Once again, nothing is 100% secure.
The real difference between MS and Apple when it comes to OS security is that Apple keeps it under wraps and quietly fixes it, while MS announces it to the world the moment they discover it.
So imagine how secure Windows 8 is since most people had zero problems with Windows 7?
I love when Companies like Microsoft and Google do these bits of "frontier research" or "near future research".
without it, we would never have gotten where we are today.
looks to me like a similar concept to Leap Motion, just done in a slightly different way, with probably a better software layer.

And then everyone here praises Apple for not telling them about it until it was fixed. And then claims it wasn't a problem anyway. Or it was only due to user error.

you know, if you never connected to the internet, it wouldn't have been a problem, so clearly, its a user problem
hahaha, amazing! i didn't even catch that!

Why you such an Apple hater?
Yeah? And when was the last time Apple did something remotely exciting? There's nothing wrong with showing off a concept. If there is a viable application for it and can be successfully marketed and sold, someone will run with it.
Thinner iPhone 6? How exciting is that? I can tell you, when I purchased my iPhone 5, I wasn't thinking "I'll bet the iPhone 6 will be fatter"
Someone's thinking outside the box, and it isn't
I personally don't have any interest in this keyboard, but as an enthusiast of new technology, I'm glad to see someone isn't afraid to do something new.
I could name several products that Apple has made AND commercially released (post Steve Jobs era) that I find incredibly exciting, but I have a feeling you already would disagree so I'll just save my breath.
Apple never demoed anything. What they did instead was released a couple of input device products called the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, along with OS X updates that utilized and refined over the years some great gesture based OS X uses.
Again, this product your praising so much from Microsoft only exists in this video and in your mind.
If Apple demoed their stuff a couple of yeras before release, I would've loved them to.
Why dis something simply because it isn't immediately available at this very moment? It's a neat idea. It takes the gestures setup we all know and love on the trackpad, and sets it so you never have to remove your hands from the keyboard. It obviously works in some shape, form, or fashion because it's being actively demoed and explained in the video? What's not to love about the idea, besides the fact it's "merely" a neat research project at the moment?

ROFLMAO! You made me choke laughing. How can I explain what's so funny to my wife?
You're just trying to get even cuz 69Mustang and I trashed talked you while you were on, ahem, an involuntary hiatus.
I'm not dissing them. But if you look at Microsoft's history, they've produced several "research" videos of technologies that never came to fruition and in turn never benefited our society.
I'm merely saying, "don't hold your breath".
Everything Apple has ever made only existed in someone's mind before it became a reality.

At least it didn't have to exist in consumer's minds before terminating the project only to get them excited for nothing.

What's this? You were trash talking me while I was out slaving away cleaning gutters and doing "voluntary" yardwork for the moderators (this is what happens when you get timed out, people. They've got a bus for it and everything)? I was just being funny before, but now I feel like I've gotta get you back.
maybe the touch screen is at the bottom in place of a keyboard.. another screen behind.. those two can generate a 3d image and provide sensors for hand interactivity with the content..
(the white lines are projectors and sensors and crap.. not strings)
dunno.. just ideas..

He started it. And, well, umm, it was his fault that I chimed in. I'm easily lead astray.
