The Microsoft Surface, that mystical superawesomeextravaganzagiantbigass table has now become a focal point on Lightning Rod! So far its more of a multi thousand dollar twitter client but I for one can't wait to see what comes out of this!!

I was wondering what the heck that was.. That looks amazing!!!
-
Not a big fan of the segment, but that table is pretty nifty!
-
Wow, they're actually talking about the whys of weather! Haven't seen that in years. The female anchor is terrible, though. And are the iPad and table really necessary? Would viewers think any less of them if they read the questions off a much cheaper cue-card?

I don't mean to troll, but Microsoft, Schmicrosoft. :yawn:
Steve Jobs' RDF at work…

Anyone know what kind of software they use for drawing those arrows and lines on the screen? :thinking:

Most likely some expensive telestration software that has to be licensed.

You're probably right.

At the very least, don't mention it in every thread. :P

I don't know if anyone noticed it (besides when I mentioned it in the chat), but those couches are the ones that were supposed to be used in the HD studio when they built it. Apparently they kept them in storage in case they wanted to use them for something.
Looks like they finally found a use for them!

Agreed! For some reason her looks make me think of Jenetta Jones...

Uhh.... ok. Great contribution there. Just because a product is made by Microsoft doesn't mean its horrible. Other companies besides Apple make decent products.

Microsoft rarely makes decent products. The only things I can think are the Xbox, and the Trebuchet MS and Georgia fonts.

ANYWAYS........
I'm curious to see how much further TWC will further implement this technology in to their broadcasts, if they so choose to keep it.

1) You're wrong. 2) If you don't have something intelligent to contribute to the thread, please don't bother posting.

I so want that in my living room. :P

Well, if you hadn't gone off-topic... :dunno:

It's an interesting device.
Before I saw the clip, I thought something was going to pop up like in Star Wars. :lol:
Strap a keyboard to it and I could work on it - spilling coffee would not be a problem.
Practicality? I don't know, but it was interesting to see.
I like the segment they put together, though.

They are trying to be more relevant with viewers using "hip" devices. I think its neat to see them incorporate stuff like this and as long as the general theme is weather and it is not interfering with svr weather I am all for it :D
