Oh - also, I had heard about that Microsoft table screen thing, but I didn't really grok what all the fuss was about until I saw the video....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But how do you type on the thing?

Well, it sounds like it's mostly to be used for media (picture) manipulation. Otherwise, I'm sure you could use a bluetooth keyboard....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I figured. I don't have audio here, so I have no idea of anything but the visuals, but it's more of a mouse/monitor replacement (plus addition of neato stuff!) than a keyboard replacement.
If you're going to make much more inroads into replacing paper, content manipulation is going to have to be more analogue than it is now.

Really. Many of these deserve their own posts. Like the bedroom TV that automatically slides out from under your bed, unfolds itself and positions itself for you to watch.

OK, I've seen all the versions of Little Shop of Horror, and I know damned well that most of those sit-upons intend to eat someone. If not just stroll off somewhere.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Heh, yesterday I was stopped behind a low-slung Mercedes at a red light, when suddenly the top started to lift up and the back window slid into the trunk, all in about 30 seconds. Now, that's a convertible. I found myself not even resenting the guy who was driving it, because it was so. damn. cool.

I've learned how to royally piss an entire medical team off. Just say, "I want Grace transferred because I lack confidence in your care."
Of course they didn't offer to transfer her BACK to Huntington, but they did offer to send her to UCLA, which at least must be a cleaner hospital than Children's.
