Even though so many people were left un-wowed by Vista, Microsoft's latest announcement is sure to elicit some excitement.Five years in the (very secretive) making, the Surface Computer is a tabletop system that allows users to interact with digital media in some truly remarkable ways.CNET News.com's Ina Fried has exclusive video of the system in action, viewable below.Surface Computer users can fingerpaint digitally, resize and interact with photos and videos, and even "digitize" some real-life events, such as splitting up a restaurant bill and researching wines. The Surface Computer can recognize some real-world objects and creates on-screen versions to interact with.The innovative system looks a lot like the interface demoed in the now-famous YouTube video of NYU researcher Jeff Han.Alas, the Surface Computer isn't intended for home use--at least not yet. Instead, the tabletop system is expected to be used as an interactive kiosk for businesses, restaurants, and for entertainment in public spaces.
Queen-My fairy kingIn the land where horses born with eagle wingsAnd honey bees have lost their stingsThere's singing forever to youLions den with fallow deerAnd rivers made from wines so clearFlow on and on foreverDragons fly like sparrows thru' the airAnd baby lambs where Samson daresTo go on on on on on onMy fairy king can see thingsHe rules the air and turns the tidesThat are not there for you and meOoh yeah he guides the windsMy fairy king can only do right and nothing wrongThen came man to savage in the nightTo run like thieves and to kill like knivesTo take away the power from the magic handTo bring about the ruin to the promised landThey turn the milk into sourLike the blue on the blood of my veinsWhy can't you see itFire burnin' in hell with the cry of a streaming painSon of heaven set me free and let me goSea turns dry no salt from sandSeasons find no helping handTeeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eye, no more.Someone someone has drained the colour from my wingsBroken my fairy circle ringAnd shamed the king in all his prideChanged the winds and wronged the tidesMother mercuryLook what they've done to meI cannot run I cannot hide
Brought together by a curious twist of fate on a dusty California road, a wandering vintner and a struggling winemaker find both their lives, and their careers, forever transformed at a blind Paris wine tasting that introduced the world to the extraordinary wines of Napa Valley. The year is 1976, and Napa Valley has yet to gain the reputation as one of world's best-known wine regions. Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) has sacrificed everything in life to realize his dream of creating the perfect Chateau Montelena. Yet despite the fact that Jim's Napa Valley vineyard has great potential, his son, Bo (Chris Pine), doesn't seem to have much interest in the family business. Most days, Jim and Bo can be found trading blows in their backyard boxing ring -- their attempts to knock a bit of sense into one another usually amounting to naught. Meanwhile, in Paris, British expatriate Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) finds necessity dictating that he educate Parisians on the latest wines to come out of California. Steven owns the Académie du Vin, and is eager to travel to the United States in order to ensure that he has conducted his research properly. Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were both on course for a chance meeting that would revolutionize the wine industry while opening up a whole new world of possibilities for wine lovers everywhere. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
SelectPlusItaly to Guarantee Wine AuthenticityItaly to Guarantee Wine AuthenticityThe Associated PressItaly has set up a panel of experts to check if Brunello di Montalcino meets production standards, following an investigation into whether some of the wine might have been cut with other grape varieties. (July 4)The Italian government announced today it will guarantee the authenticity of Brunello of Montalicino...(SOUND OF PEOPLE TOASTING WITH BRUNELLO)Brunello is one of Italy's best known wines, made exclusively from San Giovese grapes... Italians say it has brought them honor and prestige around the world. But a scandal this spring tainted its elegant name..It began when investigators in Tuscany confiscated hundreds of thousands of bottles saying they suspected the wine was being "cut" with another variety of grape, such as sauvignon or merlot.25-percent of Brunello produced every year IS sold in the United States- so american wine-experts were not pleased to hear that the Brunello they were drinking might NOT be the real thingThe US threatened to block all imports of Brunello unless Italian authorities did laboratory tests to prove that the wine was made with only San Giovese grapes. But experts say those tests are slow and costly. Now the US and Italy have reached a compromise. The US Ambassador to Italy Ronald Spogli explained .... SOT: RONALD SPOGLI, US AMBASSADOR TO ITALY: "the issue was simply having the assurance that it was 100-percent San Giovese.... that is the reason why the determination was ultimately made to this agreement whereby the Italian government would stand by the notion that the wine that was exported to the Untied States being called Brunello was indeed brunello according to the rules established by the consortium."Under the new decree, government inspectors will visit the vineyards, examine the grapes and check the wine to guarantee the product is made with San Giovese grapes and nothing else. STAND-UPTo some this may seem like a tempest in a wine glass, but Brunello sales bring in more than 185 million dollar a year to Italy, so its purity and authenticity must be unquestioned.Trisha Thomas, the Associated Press, Montalcino
