…playing a different kind of table

Microsoft's Surface tabletop computer got a one-night gig on the Las Vegas Strip at Harrah's casino last week at the National Heads-Up Poker Championship drawing party. Poker celebrities, and a few faces famous outside the game, got a glimpse of ways Microsoft's Surface technology may let guests interact with tables in unique ways.

Photos of the players were taken and uploaded onto the Surface units, where players could then interact with them and embed an autograph.

Here, Jerry Yang, the poker professional (not the Yahoo! executive), gives the unit a try.
