As a physical security professional I think that this is a great use. It gives an extreme amount of flexibility to C&C to provide them with full situational awareness but in an organized fashion.

Let me zoom in on an area, see a listing of incidents that have occurred (and let me select them so i can read the details), let me touch an icon of a camera to pull up my view, provide me sales data of the kiosks in the area so I know how much cash is floating around there, integrate it so that it can be easily entered by dispatch, and I am a happy guy.

No such thing. If there is a place with a lot of people around it, there will be a way to successfully attack it, especially since most security system failure exists between keyboard and chair - been true for physical security + computer security ever since the concepts existed.

Hell, just launching an attack, even if it's shot down so long as it's splashy will have a well-desired effect. That's why I stay the fcuk away from things like the Super Bowl and the Inauguration where, even if the attack failed, I run a high chance of being stampeded and people rush for their lives (ironic, since statistically speaking there's only 1 attack in an area at a time and even if there's another attack in the area, it's generally done with a time buffer long enough for people to *walk* away from the scene, so if you're not hit by the first attack you're not really in immediate danger).]]>Jan 29th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/Jan 29th 2009 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/Jan 29th 2009 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/Jan 29th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/You just compromise his security...*BOOM*...hey where'd you go?]]>Jan 29th 2009 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/
No such thing..."

That's nonsensical. Of course there is always a safest place you can be, even if that place has terrible security.]]>Jan 29th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/Jan 30th 2009 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/29/microsoft-surface-being-used-to-coordinate-super-bowl-security/

Naw, but I played with one at some business tech convention thing, they are pretty cool, but not nearly as impressive after having owned an iPhone for a year. Multitouch really loses its edge after you get used to it. It's kinda like the Wii, in that its application is better noted once you get past the shock factor, and you can tell when the unique feature is being forced.
