Its almost oxymoronic to even think about it, but here it is; Running the beta version of Microsoft's upcoming multi-platform operating system Windows 8 on Apples iPad.

Developers at a company called Splashtop have created an application for the Apple iPad that allows you to test the beta version of Windows 8 on the tablet itself. The application is called Win 8 Metro Testbed, it is directed towards developers which explains the price of $25. On their site the application is promoted as 
"As you code and debug your Windows 8 Metro app, test it out using an iPad! Get a feel for how your app will behave on a tablet running Windows 8 with touch gestures enabled."



Have you ever have you ever imagined yourself walking around like your favorite video game character, maybe Nomad from Crysis with the fancy Heads Up Display and they really awesome Cryo Suit that lets you jump really high or run really fast? Well you're out of luck... technology publicly ;) at least is not quite there yet.

However, Google did announce really awesome news earlier this month through Google+ [link]. Project Glass, a project by Google X Lab is a project to research awesome technology and create a really awesome device. The device currently has no official name but it is a head-mounted device which have a very similar structure to glasses the main difference? it has a Heads Up Display.
