Featured Comment
"What a bunch of crap, there is noticeably favoritism going on here. The ranking system being used is ridiculous. There are people way more into the tech scene and definitely more knowledgeable than people in the top 10. Just another stupid list for the Seattle egos. "

LOS ANGELES -- Microsoft Research was the subject of today's keynote at the company's Professional Developers Conference, with attendees getting a broad overview of the company's research efforts. Here's a video of Microsoft researchers showing a project called SecondLight toward the end of the presentation. It's an adaptation of the company's Surface tabletop computer.
SecondLIght was introduced at a recent scientific conference, as reported at the time by CNet News.com. See this PC magazine story for the technical details on the project.
