Title: Microsoft patent Furry Dice !
Post by: F Body on August 24, 2007, 10:43:26 am

Yep you read that right - Microsoft Furry dice !
Is this the type of cutting edge technology that will carry the world's largest software company to new heights of profit (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

To be fair, the virtual dice are a part of a Microsoft patent filing for a Head Up Display that integrates your car's electronics,
your PDA, your mobile phone, your MP3 player and of course your furry dice.
According to the patent application, the dice would even interact with the car's movement,
swaying left when you turn right, getting all twisted when the A/C blows them in circles, possibly even changing colors in reaction to a really bright,
hot summer (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wtf.gif)
