Microsoft Surface Debuts For Drunken Vacationers At the Rio in Vegas
Microsoft's following up its initial retail rollout of their Surface Table at AT&T with a slightly sleazier version in Vegas. The Rio is going to get six Surface tables, which allows patrons to order drinks and play mini-games with their buddies. The most interesting is a "Flirt" application, which lets you try your luck electronically with people at other Surface tables without actually going over there and talking to them. How well does vomit come off of these things again? [Surface Blog]

Snap Capp Reseals Your Soda Can, Gives it a Lid
It's possibly container-seal design month here at Giz, but we've found a winner in the Snap Capp. It's a cheap and cheerful plastic gizmo that pops onto a standard 12- or 16-ounce drinks can, and turns it into a resealable bottle, with a lid, to stop your refreshments going flat. Simplicity itself, and it's reusable too. Available now, in a variety of colors, packs of three for around $10. [Coolest Gadgets via Oh Gizmo]

When we've got enough money to get what looks like a 1500-sq-ft living room/home theater area, we're going to load one wall up with a MisuraEmme wall system. Not because it classes up the place in a way that cardboard boxes just do not, but because it combines a sliding flat-screen TV with a self-contained home theater unit with a bar. Did we mention that it's classy? Because the rest of your home could be an S&M dungeon, but as long as you've got this to greet houseguests when they first enter, you'll still be able to get on the cover of Drunken TV Monthly.

If ever a gadget is going to promote responsible drinking, then the Shot Caller is it.

bCODE SMS Drink Sending: Good Idea, Poor Execution
bCODE is a new SMS service that allows you to buy drinks for a friend via a SMS or text message. It's a pretty awesome idea, but there are some major flaws. First and foremost, the service costs a ton, for the consumer and the bar. Mainly because the bar has to install special scanning equipment. It also sucks for the consumer because you can't easily buy stangers a drink, you have to know the phone number of the person. So if you really want to send a drink to a stranger, you have to go get their cellphone number first, therefore eliminating the entire purpose of this system. More »
