My point is that it's stupid to try to stop people from having 100% perfect memory, if it's something we'd all desire.  It's our choice to record or delete whatever we want.  It's also our choice if we choose to communicate with another person.  If I could communicate my thoughts perfectly, and that includes a memory, then that should be my right and my choice to do that.

If a person has an eidetic memory, are they not allowed in certain places?  Are you concerned that a person with total recall is talking to you and may be remembering everything?  Would you require a mind wipe of all memories that person has of a movie or concert so that they cannot remember it later without paying for accessing that memory?

This page will be updated once we get close to the stream?

Surely it will ... hehe, just forgot about timezones.

@Richard.Hein: It's 7:42AM in Seattle... I'd imagine it kicks off at 9AM.

LOL, of course ... the email notification I got says, "Windows
Azure Conf is Running Right Now!", so I was trying to join. 

AzureConf has started apparently, but there's no link to the keynote ... and no streaming ... technical difficulties or missing links to the content?

What if it were to use Skinput, http://www.chrisharrison.net/index.php/Research/Skinput, but the projector is on the watch, such that you flip the top of the watch up, to get a decent angle. Integrating this Skinput even without a projector would probably work. Might as well squeeze a Kinect in there, and a dash of Revel, while they're at it. 8-)

I gave my mom and stepfather a tour of the Surface RT and Windows 8 last night after reading through this thread. I just hand it over and let them play with it. They both absolutely love it and both want one. But they had never even heard about it! Both of them have been shopping for new computers recently, and not once have they seen it in the wild, or have even heard it mentioned by salespeople in stores. I showed them a couple commercials - never saw them. They loved everything about it, and I explained the differences between RT and Pro, and it wasn't confusing to them once I explained the processor difference etc.... They also believe that older - 60+ - users like themselves would love the Surface and other touch based devices because they are more intuitive, and that the Surface RT was "beautiful", "amazing", "solid, well made", loved the keyboard and magnetic connections etc.... Contrasted with work, where we just got a new batch of laptops with Windows 8, no touch support ... everyone bitched about it. They all expect that they can just use the new Windows OS without any introduction, and won't even take 5 minutes to learn the basics of the UI.

@felix9: Can't wait to hear more.

/facepalm Oops. Yeah, it was WebGL, not WebKit.

A Short Translation from Bullshit to English of Selected Portions of the Google Chrome Blink Developer FAQ http://prng.net/blink-faq.html Doesn't it also seem to coincidental that the news that IE11 has WebKit support on it just came out before this announcement?
