The Vaio Zoom notebook concept takes everything we know about holographic technology and squeezes it inside a thin glass form factor. When off, the screen is completely transparent and the keyboard goes opaque. Turn it on and the touchscreen holographic festivities begin. Even the mouse buttons are holographic!

It?s just a concept so there?s no info on important tidbits like tactile feedback, battery life, system stats, etc., but rest assured technologies like this are closer than you think. It may not come all at once but it?s coming.

Designer: Eno Setiawan

Forward looking in both functionality and design: the P´9611. The design is characterised primarily by the pressure cast aluminium caps on the upper and lower sides. The extremely flat design means this piece can be harmoniously integrated into any cockpit.

There have been pen phone concepts before, even a few working products, but none as slim and small as this one sent us by an anonymous tipster. He told us this "design A" is not a finished product yet, and added that the undisclosed company he's working for wants to gauge interest in such a device. While most users will connect the phone to Bluetooth earpieces, those two target-shaped areas on the top and bottom are earpiece and receiver. So far, so good. What do you think, readers?

Only 8.7 inches makes it smallest on the market.

Your entertainment key
Your Beo5 remote control is like your house key. Your key is cut just for your front door, and suits its purpose exactly. It works as an extension of your hand; not something you have to think about. Your unique Beo5 unlocks exactly your mix of audio and video equipment, whether it is a single BeoVision 7 or a full link system. The same Beo5 can be as simple as you want and as flexible as you need.

Navigate the seas of complexity
Now you can have touch-screen control of your TV, films, music and more ? right in the palm of your hand. Beo5 knows which devices you own and presents just the relevant menus and controls on its intelligent hardened glass screen. You get all the visual feedback you need, without obstructing everyone?s view of the big screen. Menus are copied to the screen on the remote and even station logos appear here, eliminating the need to remember all those numbers. Link rooms are controlled by means of Zones, e.g. the living room or kitchen zone, so you are always sure to have access to the right products and functions in each room.

WATCHING a three-and-a-half-pound chicken roast in 14 minutes, time loses all meaning. The skin turns gold and crisp, juices immediately rise to the surface, and the flesh firms before your eyes. It?s dizzying and seductive, like the home makeovers on TV that compress a six-month renovation into a single afternoon.

The makers of the TurboChef, a super-fast oven used at Subway and Starbucks and, recently, by chefs like Charlie Trotter and Gray Kunz, are banking on that reaction. Speed ovens made by TurboChef, Merrychef, Electrolux and others are common in commercial kitchens; they generally use some layering of microwave, convection, steam and infrared technologies, which provides even cooking, moistness and browning, all at high speed. No single technology has been able to produce all of those traits.

Beyond the Mouse and Keyboard. Surface computing is a major advancement that moves beyond the traditional user interface to a more natural way of interacting with digital content. Microsoft Surface?, Microsoft Corp.?s first commercially available surface computer, breaks down the traditional barriers between people and technology to provide effortless interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects instead of a mouse and keyboard.

Although customers will be able to interact with Surface in select restaurants, hotels, music, retail establishments and public entertainment venues by the end of the year, the product has been years in the making at Microsoft.
