Milo is an on screen amazing character that uses Project Natal to interacts with users. Milo is a character that can recognize people, he can recognize faces, voices and motions. Check out the demo that Peter Molyneaux gives us about Milo. Well the video explains a lot and there is no need to explain further. I love this technology and wish to put my hands on it.

A new high-speed cable technology designed to connect to electronics devices name Light Peak has unveiled by Intel at IDF. Using this technology you can transfer an entire Blu-Ray disk in 30 seconds. According to Intel
Existing electrical cable technology in mainstream computing devices is approaching practical limits for speed and length, due to electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and other issues. However, optical technology, used extensively in data centers and telecom communications, does not have these limitations since it transmits data using light instead of electricity. Light Peak brings this optical technology to mainstream computing and consumer electronic devices in a cost-effective manner. 
This technology could conceivably go as fast as 100Gb/s within a decade. [via Intel]
