Video of Bill Gates Showing off his Expensive Table
Billy Gates was on the Today Show this morning showing off his fancy new table. Want to see it in action rather than just in photos? Check the video above for all sorts of goodness of it being used for all sorts of applications, such as playing with photos, wirelessly pulling photos off a camera, and ordering and paying for food using credit cards. It looks pretty neat, I have to say.
So what do you think, are you ready to drop $10,000 on this bad boy or what?

I want one!
I, like many others are wondering when it will be affordable for a general consumer, or at least a geek like myself.
ooh, virtual coffee stains that move away when you try to wipe them off.
Walk into the lounge room into the middle of the night… faint blue glow on my 10k coffee table… oh noo! BSOD!
Also not compatible with forklift.
This is the next phase in personal computing. We all know the humble mouse has taken us as far as it can. To put the pricing of this thing into perspective, the first ad I saw for a CD burner in 1991 had it at a staggering $12,000AUD. I kept the ad, by the way. Not a typo. These are dollars. If a cd burner can cost less that around 1/1000th of it’s introductory price in around 10 years, then this Table is an affordable reality in a very short time. Wait for the iMac interpretation coming this Spring (or so they say) – I’m sure we will be more open to an Apple perspective, as we are all just MS biggots, aren’t we?
