EDIT: Here’s a pretty cool video of the computer:

EDIT 2: I’ve moved the video to below the fold, so just click the title here to see it if you want:

The future is finally here.

Personal jetpacks and hover cars will soon be distributed to every able bodied adult. I’ve already booked my vacation package for a week on the moon, where I’ll enjoy low gravity golf and Martian hunts. My own robot slave will soon begin typing these very Shyzer posts for me, as work, thought, and effort will join the likes of polio and the Dodo bird. And lest we forget about the underprivileged, as the homeless will soon be relocated into holographic suites, where they’ll be able to enjoy all the replicated food they can imagine.

Ok, well maybe not, but pretty soon Microsoft will be giving us this damn cool gadget.

Microsoft Corp. will unveil a coffee-table-shaped “surface computer” Wednesday in a major step towards co-founder Bill Gates’s view of a future where the mouse and keyboard are replaced by more natural interaction using voice, pen and touch.

Microsoft Surface, which has a 30-inch display under a hard-plastic tabletop, allows people to touch and move objects on screen for everything from digital finger painting and jigsaw puzzles to ordering off a virtual menu in a restaurant.

It also recognizes and interacts with devices placed on its surface, so cell phone users can easily buy ringtones or change payment plans by placing their handsets on in-store displays, or a group of people gathered round the table can check out the photos on a digital camera placed on top.

Of course, the first few batches will cost a cool 10K, but the way computer prices depreciate, it won’t be long before we’re all able to invite friends over, get drunk, and then smash our coffee table computer to pieces when we pass out on them.

I can’t wait.
