this looks pretty interesting:
interesting conceptual / research idea, but i doubt if it could be this elegant in practice.
makes me realize how different MS and apple are. apple brings videos like this forward when they have a product to sell, but MS brings videos like this forward whenever they come up with a cool idea. the trick is to bring cool ideas to market – and the sooner the public learns of an idea – the sooner feature creep starts.
if MS can produce one of these without throwing the HI out with excessive features – i’m in.

$11 house · Oct 23, 09:22 pm
one of the best things i’ve seen in a while is the $11 house website. my friend david has poured his last 2 years into renovating a house to bring it from a condemned wreck up to a luxuriously livable space.
hearing about some of the fantastic qualities of this abode i would be delighted to live there.
you can win this house if you pay the $11 entry fee and write a compelling essay about why you should be the winner.
i love this idea because it involves an essay – and it’s so affordable.
i know david has spent 2 years of his life (and his family’s) making this a wonderful place to live – so even if you want to support this idea – enter to win.
it just might be you.
