Microsoft Surface is Now Thinner, Smarter & Cheaper
Microsoft showed off a new version of Surface, its tabletop touch computer, during the company’s keynote address at CES on Wednesday night.
Gone is that cumbersome cube-shaped box with cameras inside. Now, there’s a piece of super-tough Gorilla Glass (the same glass that’s on the front and back of the iPhone 4) on top of what looks like a parson’s table. The whole thing is only four inches thick and works with faster processors and sophisticated infrared sensors that give it finer resolution.
The real secret sauce is what Microsoft calls Pixel Sense, a miniaturized version of all those cameras that were formerly mounted underneath the glass surface of the table. Not only is this new version a lot tougher than its predecessor, making it a much more appropriate tabletop for rowdy bars; it’s also a lot smarter. As Microsoft put it, “Every pixel is acting as a camera, so the surface of the PC can actually see.”

Datatilsynet er kritiske til Facebook Places
I formiddag ble den omstridte tjenesten Places rullet ut for norske bruke av den populære sosiale nettjenesten Facebook.
Med Places kan Facebook-brukere rapportere til vennene sine om hvor de befinner seg, laste opp bilder fra stedet, og samtidig tagge hvilke andre venner som eventuelt er med dem.
Facebook Places ble lansert for noen måneder siden i USA og flere europeiske land.
- Du mister litt grepet over hvem som får vite hvor du er. Og det kan være problematisk i forhold til arbeidsgiveren, familie, venner eller andre relasjoner, sier informasjonsdirektør Ove Skåra i Datatilsynet, til DinSide.
