7 pcs in my office, all with 50 inch screens, and Microsoft Kinect, with touchless gesture software I can stand 6 feet from the screen and use it like a touch screen.
The desktop will die and the PC will rein on.

I already see our office ladies with Hulk-like shoulders.
What do you do with those 7 kinects? I rarely see someone producing with an touchy-swishy interface.
Hypothesis: the amount of desktop use has not become significantly less in absolute terms. It's just faded relative to the skyrocketing general media consumption.

The Microsoft touchless gesture software is perfect for kinect.
The only thing it cant do well is fast typing.

There's nothing obvious on the UK page. Perhaps they only display them to people whose teams are still taking part?

I cannot quite understand why, but if you go to the Doodle page on Google, "this Google's reach" world map clearly omits Great Britain.
Ireland is not omitted and www.google.ie shows the Doodle!

They're not really interested in football anymore.
I find it much more interesting that the doodle about Germany vs Algeria isn't shown in Germany.

Couldn't Nigeria just buy the match, you know, with all that extra cash they have lying around over there...

Not anymore. You all thought it was a scam but I could tell it wasn't so now I have all that money. Suckers!!! 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Didn't those two play yesterday (the 29th)? Today looks like Germany vs. Algeria.

Had some Fat Elvis Waffles for lunch on Saturday.
"peanut butter mousse, bacon, caramelized banana, maple syrup"
They were elephanting amazing.
I inhaled them here: Sugar Factory [^]
Note, however, that they add a "cfn" charge to the bill which the waiter told us was a local tax and quite legal.
Moron: has he never heard of smart phones and the internet? I paid the bill and deducted the charge from a very low tip.
