If you don’t think a Microsoft Surface Computing coffee table is going to fit in your living room, have no fear. The Microsoft Cambridge team is working on a prototype Surface Computing laptop.

Remember, though, Microsoft isn’t the only company working on multi-touch computing. A while back we wrote about Perceptive Pixel and its infinitely cool touch-screen, Minority-Report-like demo. While reading an actual hard copy of MIT’s Technology Review magazine, I learned that Perceptive Pixel already has a defense contract in hand. Figures. Defense always gets the best toys.
Are the sensors human tongues?
