Digital pen takes on mouse
Imagine if you could pick up a digital file or a note on a computer and pass it to a colleague's computer as easily as you can give them a paper document or a Post-It note. Researchers at Sony's Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo believe they have figured out how to do just that.
