Microsoft sees the to be to come and it's coming to us through a glass, ubiquitously. A new video from the Microsoft Place team that's making the rounds envisions a beget of tomorrow where every conceivable surface is a computer display and augmented authenticity tech steers us through foreign airports to waiting cars, hotels, and meetings.

It's unbelievably cool stuff, if not totally original. We've been treated to futuristic visions like this since at least the 2002 steam Minority Report , which featured Tom Cruise pinching, twisting, and flicking away digital eye-sweetmeats on minimalist interfaces just like they do in Microsoft's more ominously titled "Productivity Time to come Vision (2011)."

There's also more than a touch of Gattaca in the sterile pageantry-scape of Microsoft's video (embedded below), which plays like an ad for technology that is on the cusp of being invented and which will not exceptionally change current tech trends so much as absolutely take them to their logical conclusions.

Expanding on the feline swashbuckler from the “Shrek” series of films, “Puss in Boots” is a unimpressive exercise of the animated pact, but doesn’t proposal anything new or particular exciting. The generated atmosphere is beautiful, truly a miracle of the modern age, but the filmmakers quite think this is enough. It took four writers to sweat out the foolhardy screenplay, only to fall back on litter box jokes and a greek chorus cat who offers the oh-no-you-didn’t aphorism.

Set before his Shrek adventures, Puss in Boots (voice of Banderas) is introduced in all his roguish ways, loving and leaving his feline associate. He hears rumors about magic beans, being held by the grown-up Jack (Billy Bob Thorton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris). When he goes to copy them, he is outmaneuvered by a masked thief named Pot Softpaws (Salma Hayek). They decide that teaming up is better than working by oneself, and they set off anew to steal the beans.

Puss comes upon his hometown, and the orphanage where he grew up. In flashbacks, we bump into rendezvous with Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis), once the closest alternative other of Puss, who ended up betraying him. The egg man holds the key to the power of the occult beans, which naturally grows a climbable vine that reaches to the land of the giants. Humpty knows there is a goose that lays opportune eggs there, and joins Puss and Softpaws in robbery the beans from Jack and Jill. When they finally get them, golden eggs and retribution is next.

Pobrecito is overworked after a three day chant fest in Tampa, (the 505 took sec in their split and fourth all-embracing) Minute create is milking a trouble throat and the hub is banging the upbraiding out of something in the front yard.
