Not really OT, there are some cooking references.

I've seen an abbreviated form of that as a commercial. If that's the
future, I like it.

I noticed the couple woke up with the husband on the left side of the bed
but going to bed that night he was on the right side.

Who doesn't fiercely defend "their side?" ;)

Corning is only the glass, not the high tech computing power under it.

Oh, the fingerprints everywhere! After a few weeks cleaning the iPhone
screen daily I bought a stylus. Now I only clean it maybe once a week.

The computer tech used came out prior to the iPhone by maybe a year.

I highly recommend TED.com. Also watchable on the iPhone and other similar
wifi devices. It's ALL good stuff, some if only in theory!!!

Hey, this is a future where nobody wakes up on the wrong side of the
bed and we get a hint about what happened during the night. :)

I figured that's what it had to be... is the image projected onto the
glass like a screen or are they just big monitors?

Well, *I* figure that it's an advertisement with paid, professional
actors. Sometimes they are standing in front of plain glass and
pretending there is stuff printed on it (filled in later), and sometimes
they are projecting a film onto it and the actors are following along,
but making you think that they are interacting with a screen. I don't
really know, but whatever it is, it's fake.

Thanks! I like the configurable, drifting, intuitive keyboard idea.

It's old news--that video was recorded in 2006. The technology is built
into Windows 7, OS/X, recent releases of Linux, and a bunch of operating
systems for handhelds.

It's standard on the iPad and iPhone.

You can DIY the hardware for not too much money if you have a projector
(if you don't have a projector it gets a lot more expensive)
.

The virtual keyboard is one of those ideas that works better in theory
than in practice--there's no tactile feedback and the unyielding surface
is more likely to cause RSIs than prevent them.

Yes, J. I saw the year and I knew all about iPad etc. I also know
that they don't have the virtual keyboard *yet* that he talked about.


I am not into ergonomics - but a drifting, configurable, intuitive
keyboard appeals to me. I would line my keyboard tray on my computer
desk with that material. My only requirement at the moment is that it
be tilted.
