...100x might be too small a number. that looked amazing.

so who is behind this? I thought MS had bought up all the patents around this tech.

seems like it is an new company with some investors:

yeah, i was looking at that but I still having seen anything directly explaining how it works from a techinical perspective.  makes me curious how they are actually getting this data in a way that MS won't come down and put them out of business.
