The Future Surfaces.
For once in these past five years, Microsoft has impressed me. The above is a Popular Mechanics video for the most "Minority Reportest" thing thus far. Microsoft Surface is a new-fangled "surface computer" that one can use on a regular coffee table. Think of it as a giant iPhone, having has a touch-sensitive surface for interaction. The thing that took me away was the place-your-device-on-the-table auto-sync function. (clap. clap. clap). It's 5 years in the making, and will cost approximately ten-grand.
I've seen and fiddled around with something similar on my iFuture experience at the Science Centre. It also had a touch-sensitive interface, but the sensors and projection were propped overhead. I'm just happy that a Minority Report touchy-touchy future lies ahead.
(I'd like to say once again that I'm not impressed with the iPhone. I'm impressed with the iPod functions and photo viewing on the iPhone, but nothing else on it).
In other news, I caught my Mesprit, completing the Pre-Elite Four Legendary Trio. That @#$%! Pokémon has been evading capture, flying around and around. I trained my Gastly to Lv48 and used a Mean Look before putting to sleep. I threw Ultra Ball after Ultra Ball, before it woke the thrid time and wiped out my Gastly. Threw out Dialga and a last Ultra Ball, knowing it would flee after that. But the ball shook 3 times and after 4 weeks of tracking it down, I caught it. Now to face the Pokémon League.
