Microsoft exec proves new Surface tablet makes an excellent skateboard

Check out Steven Sinofsky, the head of the Microsoft Windows division, making the brand-new Surface tablet do double duty as a skateboard. Was he just showing off the gizmo’s super-tough constitution or challenging those YouTube videographers so fond of blenderizing, shooting up and hammering electronics to a durability duel? Granted, anyone hell-bent on destroying one of these babies is in for a challenge: It’s got a Gorilla Glass screen, vapor magnesium skeleton and titanium case. Sinofsky clearly thought this stunt was pretty rad, tweeting, “Couldn’t resist taking it out for a spin,” along with some pics. [Source]
