Microsofts metapaper, Outlook on paper | |

Long Zheng: Some people might call me a patent scavenger, but I prefer the term opportunist. I sift through dozens of new Microsoft patents every week so you dont have to. And trust me, Im doing you a favor. A recent set of patents filed by Microsoft reveals a pretty innovative idea that I think is worth realizing. Whilst the patents refer to it indirectly, it doesnt take a lot to fill in the blanks. They call it metapaper, I call it paper Outlook. Personal information manager (PIM) software like Outlook to schedule events, manage tasks, contacts and communication can be extremely helpful. In fact so helpful people often carry devices such as laptops with them just to have access to this information. Sometimes this can be an inconvenience in certain locations. Which is why some people will print out their schedule and tasks list to take with them instead. | ||
