It’s practicality may be a bit questionable until folks actually start using Surfaces in their homes, but Amnesia Razorfish has now produced a rather unique way to share content between your smartphone and Microsoft’s would-be household device . The basic idea is fairly simple: just place your smartphone (or tablet) on the Surface, and then simply drag photos and other documents directly onto the device (where you can also, incidentally, preview them instantly). Exactly how that’s done isn’t clear, but the company says the so-called “Connect” system “utilizes a range of technologies including WiFi, Bluetooth, proximity detection, unique ID and phone accelerometer, depending on the type of phone and location.” Somewhat ironically, the system only works with iOS devices at the moment, but Amnesia Razorfish says it’s hard at work on bringing it to Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry as well. Head on past the break for the video.

Yep, it’s a sad tale, but HP’s run out of those glorious 1600 x 900-resolution, 350nit Radiance displays for its Envy 14 once and for all. As you may recall, they did come back in stock for a short time, but HP tells us that limited supply has dried up and that there are no plans right now to restock the inventory. In fact, a HP representative was pretty explicit in saying that the high-resolution panel won’t be returning to the 14.5-inch Envy. We’re sorry we don’t have better news for you or a fresh pack of tissues to help dry your tears, but hey, we guess there’s always the larger 17-inch model with its full 1080p panel.

Click here to view this media Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) explained Wednesday that Republicans would be happy to work with President Barack Obama on “the really serious, seemingly intractable problems” as longer as he agreed to do things their way. “If the president is willing to do what I and my members would do anyway, we’re not going to say no,” McConnell said at a breakfast hosted by Politico’s Mike Allen. “But that’s not much of a concession,” Allen noted. “That’s not bargaining, to just give you what you want.” “I like to think I’m a pretty good negotiator,” McConnell replied. The Minority Leader’s Wednesday remarks echoed comments he made after big Republican wins in November. “If the administration wants cooperation, it will have to begin to move in our direction,” he said following the midterm elections. In October, McConnell told the National Journal that “[t]he single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
