there is another video about the design of the surface: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK2326

there will be no plugging at all. The future is wireless.

The state pays for your education. Germany has a very good engineering education. Where do you think comes the brand "made in germany" from? We germans still build the best cars and machines.

It is to expensive! Here you get the smallest SP3 Pro with i3 core for the same price tag. It has a bigger screen, more performance, double RAM and a better kickstand.

Thanks for your notes.

As mentionned there is a python interface for FreeCAD. There is no need to know OpenCascade.

I didn't know verbnurbs and solvespace.

Verbnurbs is only a simple NURBS library. Solvespace seems to be more comparable to OpenCascade. I will look deeper into it.

best opensource CAD application is FreeCAD: http://www.freecadweb.org/

It is not very easy to learn but has many features of commercial applications including scripting via python.

I don't like this proposal. An SPA is more than just getting json from a server.

you can realize things like this with a scrollspy. E.g. that from bootstrap: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#scrollspy

Printing from top to down from a plate is a much better approach because it works faster. The whole layer can then cure instead of only a single point. This seems to be the main difference to conventional 3d printers.

The website is inaccurate in some aspects but this new top down approach could change the 3D printing industry. Maybe it could also make 3d printers cheaper because less mechanical parts are needed.

I don't understand why the trackball died. I can move a mouse pointer much faster with it than with a trackpad. Google's G1 had also a trackball. I think this was the only smartphone with a trackball.

Any reasons I should switch to Java or other technologies?

What I get with the (much hated) Microsoft stack:

- C# with LINQ and async await

- Roslyn compiler as a service which speeds up development

- mature .NET framework

- more and more open source and cross platform parts and smaller independent libs

- typescript

- Xamarin cross platform tools

I also use python and used Java in the past. I don't see any reason why Java should be better?

I can't see a real difference to stack overflow.

You should also learn about online marketing. Having a great product isn't enough to get traffic. I don't want to be offensive but your product isn't even very awesome.

What would americans and especially the us government do if germans would bug every car they sell in the US? (this is a serious question)

What's on the roof of the US embassy in Berlin then? http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/cover-story-how-...

The war against terror is only an excuse for this overwhelming mass cyber-espionage.

Explain me why you spy out german government. Is Merkel a potential terrorist? Yes sure.

I am from germany and I hope most of americans don't have this point of view.

1. give up freedom for some stupid terrorist attacks? why should we? We've lost the keystone of freedom when we do this and they have already won.

2. Do you really think these extensive intelligences do stop terror? (maybe they do sometimes, but terrorists will find new ways)

3. IS and others are the result of the Iraq war which was a offensive war from the US justified by a lie (Sadam had no weapon of mass destruction). Do you still think that America is the world police? The reputation of the US has gone rapidly down in the last decade. For the most here in germany the US are not the good ones any more. Other countries have their own way of life. America has to accept that.

But it will run Windows 10 and Windows Universal Apps:

rebooting/starting Linux on a VPS takes much more time on Azure for me? This is the case I use AWS instead of Azure for my VMs.

Emotional intelligence is also intelligence. I.Q. tests doesn't bear that.

So smart teams are better than less smart. But it's not about the I.Q. score but about the whole intelligence (emotional and logical) of the team members.

Angular 2.0 addresses frontend and not corporate developers? Ridiculous! AtScript is more like Java/C# and supports strongly typing.

It doesn't seem to work reliable with dell laptops even.

Even better than USB 3.1 is Wigig and wireless charging. Broadwell does support Wigig. Where are the Wigig docking stations now?

> The financial crisis cost society 4 trillion dollars

is there any source for this?

in mechanical engineering german literature is better than english.

Nice proof of concept. But I think there is no advantage in comparison to webgl.

Angular 1.3 already has one way binding: http://blog.thoughtram.io/angularjs/2014/10/14/exploring-ang...
