Microsoft Surface: Multi-touch technology for only $10,000

With all the hype surrounding Apple's new iPhone and it's multi-touch technology, it's easy to forget that multi-touch is not a technology strictly owned by Apple. According to Wikipedia.org, multi-touch has at least a 25-year history beginning back at the University of Toronto.

I was recently sent a link to a video that talks about Microsoft's Surface technology. (Microsoft Surface website)

The video was really impressive and I wondered if it has made it to YouTube yet. What I found at YouTube was a really, really good parody.

What's really interesting to me is that this technology is definitely on the way to being common place in the near future ... well, I guess on the 29th, right?

First the iPhone, then the coffee table.
