So Microsoft just showcased the new Windows Shell at the D9 (AllThingsD) Conference the other day and the implications are huge. The real thrust of the demos were the new Windows UX for touch displays. It’s all based on the Metro UI with a Windows Media Center like overlay and it’s endgame is to blur the line between an embedded OS (like for a smartphone or an ARM tablet) to a more traditional OS for Slate PC’s, laptops and desktops.

Sup, my name is superterran and i’m a computer geek and programer. Please excuse the mess as i’m just getting moved in but great things are afoot. In time, I hope to not only throw all the goodies I’ve made on this site (come check out my projects page http://electricimpulse.net/superterran/projects/ for details), but also share my perspectives and nerdiness on tech and all things nerdy.
a little about myself: i’m a developer with game in several languages and platforms, right now i’m focusing on LAMP but I just go where i’m interested. I’m also a gadget fiend; i go through phones and tablets like they’re nothing. I grew up with computers and technology so I won’t even embarrass myself by explaining how pimped out all the rest of my setup is. Suffice to say, i’m something of a technologist and I plan to hold none of it back here.
I’ve known Acid for like a decade now. He’s an incredibly talented guy who clearly knows his craft. It’s my hope that we can turn Electric Impulse into a tight nit community of of other powerful talents who want to share their work and knowledge with the world. I don’t want to get ahead of myself though. Let’s just say I got big plans. Acid’s probably wishing he didn’t give me the keys to the castle…
