The last time I wrote about some of the cool work the creative agency Razorfish were doing on the Microsoft platform – specifically Surface, they were owned by Microsoft. Even though they’ve since been sold by Microsoft, it appears they still have a soft spot for Microsoft platforms. Yesterday, Razorfish announced a beta version of its Retail Experience Platform codenamed “5D” at the National Retail Federation (NRF) conference in New York

It looks like if you can’t make your mind up about building a Windows 8 Metro-style application using either C# or HTML5, Skype seems to think you should just hire to build for both and let them fight it out. In either case, Skype seems to be readying a Windows 8 app for launch day.

A couple of years ago I approached Rafael Rivera with an idea – bringing XBOX Live-style achievements to the Windows platform. There could be achievements for Windows itself – learning keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+ESC for task manager or even BSOD misfortunes.

Like Moore’s law, there should also be a law that determines the rate at which display screens at trade shows grow. For it’s last year at the Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft flaunted a video wall at its booth that stretched a respectable 70 feet (21 meters) long. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to power such a system, you’re in luck
