Wasn't there a Microsft Surface Table at one point? What ever happened to that? I had always imagined that was going to be the Microsoft-Tron crossover I always wanted.


It was rebranded to PixelSense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PixelSense), giving its name to the Surface we know of today.


We had one. It wasn't "great" the touch screen had too much latency. I think it was around $8K.


Is Amazon going to attempt to tackle the healthcare insurance market? CVS and Walgreens may have started in that direction, but they rely on EHRs to get them the industry knowledge they lack. I'm not sure if Amazon would do the same. That opens patients up to some crazy HIPPA scenarios when Amazon decides to collect your prescribing visit info to send to the insurance company.
