Submission + - Intel's Metro laptop concept in the real world

gcnaddict writes: Seems like those pictures of the Mobile Metro which were shown off were nothing more than marketing concepts. Unlike the last time the Metro hit the front page, there's actually video footage of the sleek notebook being used. It's mostly limited to the e-ink display, but you can also get a glimpse of the keyboard seen in those concept photos. There's also some quick time with a new LG Sideshow-enabled laptop, the old ASUS Sideshow concept laptop which eventually became the ASUS W5Fe, and a weird little technology demo with what looks to be a Samsung Q1P modded in order to support Sideshow on the main display. You can catch the full 1080p video here (Reduced to a torrent, it seems).

Currently, story submission is disabled in addition to the upcoming story queue being capped."

gcnaddict writes: "The prevailing feeling on many technology news/social hotspots seems to be one of nonchalance and even discontent when comparing Windows Vista's price versus its perceived benefit. However, a large portion of people apparently still want to be able to use some of Vista's more "visible" applications. That's where the "Vista API Implementation On (Insert XP/2003 here)" comes in. So far, it works very well with a few of the actual applications from Vista (see list here) Slashdotters should have no problem installing it, though I'm not sure if it works in WINE just yet..."
