Aren't you sick of seeing really cool things in movies that you know we have the technology to make, yet they aren't available to the public or even a product at all? Well, I am, but this time such a dissapointment is not one you will have to get used to. Yes, the totally sweet and kickass computer that Tony Stark uses in Iron Man 2 is actually a real computer! Sony has made such a computer and you can even see some video of it in action!
In the movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" you will again see this sweet technology being shown off, but that is a Microsoft product. But since Microsoft loves to make vaporware a part of their global marketing scheme, it is highly doubtful we will see anything from them in the marketplace anytime soon. The killing of the Courier, was a major upset in the geekdom. True, there are many of us who despise Microsoft for their Gestapo-esque rampage to buy-out and destroy all their competition and their incessent whining to Congress to make Windows the be all-end all of operating systems to rule the world, the Courier was indeed the best thing to come from the MS braintrust - ever. I, myself would have gladly purchased one over the iPad in a heartbeat!
