Microsoft Tuesday said it recorded its 10,000th U.S. patent, which came on the back of technology used in its Surface computing platform.
U.S. Patent No. 7,479,950 covers a technology that lets users place objects on a surface and have them associated with data or media stored on the computer's hard drive. A user could place a set of car keys on the surface and the computer could bring up that person's schedule or list of favorite TV shows airing that night.
