Microsoft has unveiled a new touch-sensitive coffee table-shaped computer called “Surface”.
Designed to do away with the need for a traditional mouse and keyboard, users can instead use their fingers to operate the computer.
Also designed to interact with mobile phones placed on the surface, Microsoft says it will initially sell the unit to corporate customers.
These will include hotels, casinos, phone stores and restaurants.
With a 30-inch screen, Surface will initially sell for between $5,000 and $10,000 (£2,525-£5,050).
Talk about fiction becoming reality, anyone remember minority report?
HMTK Steve is far from impressed though, as he fails to see any real world applications for this device. He also feels that it’s Microsoft repackaging someone else’s technology to make money.
I don’t agree though, casinos will find this very useful, and I’m sure they’ll be more and more uses for this when the marketing people sit down and think of where the money is. It’s all down to your imagination, this thing could really go places.
And with the clout of Microsoft behind it, the sky is the limit.
Four Nigerian governors are now officially MIA. Following the end of their tenure, and the expiration of their immunity from prosecution, these four men were not available to hand over to their successors, and are believed to have left the country.
1. Plateau State’s Joshua Dariye (pictured) - Also a wanted man in the UK, where he skipped bail.
2. Adamawa State’s Boni Haruna – Atiku Abubakar’s self proclaimed political godson
3. Enugu State’s Chimaroke Nnamani
4. Jigawa State’s Saminu Turaki
Also, the vice President, Atiku Abubakar is said to have fled the country.
I suspect in the next few days, more governors will disappear, Lagos State’s Bola Tinubu is also reportedly under investigation, as well as several other governors.
It will be interesting to see how the new President chooses to tackle this problem, and what the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) does next will be very interesting.
