Wow, it looks like those movies, which show us the future:

A bit of Back To The Future II without the flying cars.
…
Damn, that’s amazing. But then again, 1984 might happen, just postponed 
If only that stuff worked in real life 
Who knows? In 15 years time, that might be the way…But I agree with the 1984 thing. :freeman:
They should spend less time on this and more time on making a decent operating system.
^true, but I’ll laugh when I hear people saying “hello microsoft tech support? my house just crashed, I can’t do anything, everything is blue with white text” and the tech support guy says please go to the garage and press alt+ctrl+del
Windows 7 is a decent OS, it’s just not finished & commercial, yet.
Wow, I want a house like that, and it’s very nice - it obviously has some flaws(i.e. the “wallpaper” screen doesn’t fit together properly), but it looks very nice… much nicer than Mappl-sorry, Apple’s products at the moment… if only Microsoft put this much effort into making netbook OS’, ingenious interfaces and worked with Open-Source communities to have a more free environment.
EDIT: I sound like a hippy with the Open-Source things :fffuuu:
Double EDIT: Microsoft obviously won’t work with Open-Source communities, but I can dream…
Wow, how crap-tastic. Humans sure love their horribly impractical garbage.
Edit: At least the things are projections, for a second there I thought they actually tried building the displays into the surfaces of the furniture.
Edit 2: Why do I feel like I’ve said/seen all this before?
This is honestly just further propelling society into a perpetual state of laziness and obesity.
Honestly how hard is it to own a cookbook or judge your own style and fashion sense. These are such simple and mundane tasks, why is it so hard to perform them?
Anyone who thinks this is necessary should swim in a pond of napalm.
Kaze is a man who knows his stuff.

I was immediately reminded of this:
Unfortunately the only good thing going for “Microsoft’s Future Home” is the cool factor and that’s just about it. That house is going to consume a lot of energy just because someone thinks its cool to have a projecting computer interface throughout the whole house. A lot of people dont understand that this world is facing a crisis and energy consumption is one of the many things that contribute to the crisis.
The electricity bill for the month will be : $1,456,049.56 :jizz:
I don’t remember the exact figures but in one month, the total amount of energy that the Sun supplies Earth with would be enough for the entire human race for one year or so, with the current energy consumption. And as technology progresses, there could be sufficient solar panels that could receive 50 percent of that energy. So that kinda rules it out. We just have to get out of the evil grips of the oil barons :freeman:
What a joke, didn’t they tell us we’d have flying cars by now and instead of food we would all eat pills, that cancer was cured and human organs were replaced by high-tech bio-engineered stuff (Terminator anyone?).
Bleh, aslong as cars still ride on fuel I don’t see progress in technology on these scales. :fffuuu:
BTW, I don’t want a Microsoft house, imagine getting out of your bed and the first thing you look at is a BSOD.
NO
THANKS
.
If you pay 500$ for a GPU the size of your thumbnail how much would you pay for such a house?
I don’t think you understand the difference between ‘fuel’ and ‘gasoline’.
Maybe he was referring to vehicles powered by electricity. the way they should be
That would be soo cool. I can imagine in 100 years everything will be like that, and only a handful of poeple actually comprehend how all the stuff works!
Electricity would still be a fuel, in that context.
