See all those beautiful people? You don't know them. And pushing your specs up the bridge of your nose while seated in front of Microsoft's Surface won't change that. Nevertheless, next time we're adjusting our gadget-laden fanny packs in Vegas, we'll be doing so at the i-Bar in the Rio hotel -- the newest home to Microsoft's big ass multi-touch table. Check out the video cheese after the break.
Are people's lives really this lame and shallow that they have to have a table with a bastardized pinball game to have fun and converse? I admit I'm not a bar type, but hell I like to go out with friends and have fun and somehow we manage without MS Surface, the iBar, or excess wind indoors.
Yes, it is one big ass table.
It's an interesting idea and has it's uses I'm sure.
I'm just not sure I want to go into a bar and touch something that a lot of drunks have had their sticky ass hands all over.
Maybe they should rename it iPlague.
Can we have sex ON the Surface too? I think that would be truly innovative of Microsoft...
What would truly innovate MS is if you could have sex WITH the surface...on its surface or on its side or oven underneath it for that matter.
I would put It in its butt. ; )
All I can say is that if that's Vegas, they sure left a lot of stuff out!
This is so funny. Multi-billion dollar corporations that have vast experience in entertainment and retail like the Surface. People who create no technology, entertainment or anything for that matter don't like it. That alone makes me like it. Q.
best Surface video ever

That looks like my apartment every night.
The tough part is convincing the ladies I need some sleep, I have work in the morning.
And yes, the wind machine is mandatory.

Hmmm, I should go check this out tonight. Looks interesting enough....damn those cover charges though.
I would be too drunk to use that or in jail after sending women sexually explicit messages
I wonder when the obvious is gonna start crashing down on them, life/business is a little more than sitting around lounges ordering drinks and lifting/posing cellphones on a table, waiting for Windows to acknowledge Bluetooth is on.
Surface is a toy, a neat little tech demo; it brings nothing forth to improve ergonomics, efficiency, etc.
Where's the FIVE GODDAMN PROJECTORS!! post?
I can't wait to go to that club so I can share my photos with the sluts there. They'll be very impressed with how i can zoom and rotate the photos so easily.
OMFG, stop putting "i" before everything!
btw that was way too dramatic of an entrance.
the pr-guys@microsoft are too lame! it hurt's
Those young ladies can touch my screen anytime if you know what I mean, and I think that you do!
:{}
Either there are too many nerds here that don't go out much or it's just the religious apple sect commenting negatively about the surface. It's an awesome peace of technology, way better the the iphone. So the iphone looks pretty and has pretty animation graphics? so what? so does the surface and does much more. That it is a table, of course it's meant to me a table you bunch of douchbag, it's built for what it was intented to do. That's why it's called surface or do you expect it to look like an iphone or a macbook.
I think it's a great presentation they did and pretty cool. How many guys been out at a bar and wanted to send a drink to a girl sitting at another table, i'm sure if you have or had a social life you can attest to this. The thought of being able to play game on a table at a bar seems to be perfect for the occasional breaking the ice when you are with friends and like one of their friends that's acompanying them. But hell to all you haters... now don't get me wrong i think apple has done a great job with the iphone but c'mon... give credit where credit is due.
Lame ad. Interesting games. Almost Wii simplistic. All I know is I will be one happy geek the day I can roll something like that up into a tube and take it with me where ever I go. Think Civ IV....or V....Big ass Mat Edition....Mmmmmm Big ass mat.
... in the background you can imagine what the dude standing up is saying:
"I'm gonna hit that booty from the back like this"
Introducing Microsoft Surface: Computing for the Beautiful People.
Introducing Microsoft Surface: Now you can look up the numbers of people you'd actually prefer to hang with.
Introducing Microsoft Surface: Computing for people who aren't quite as smart as you.
Introducing Microsoft Surface: Technology that will never make this video a reality.
Seriously though, Surface is slick. (Pun intended).
