Many Tech Announcements Today

At the All Things D conference, several companies announced there new products and releases. I’m very excited about some of them.

Microsoft Surface: Great concept. I would love to see this in application. See video here.
Apple releases the DRM-free music store. Apple did a clever trick on the new DRM-free songs; even though you can transfer the songs freely, your username is still embedded into the song file. So if you share your music, your username will be all over the place XD. I think this is what the real DRM should be. You should be able to use your music freely but that does not mean to pirate it.
Google’s new street map view. Very creepy but very useful. You can do a virtual tour, basically. I hope they keep it updated though.
