Microsoft Surface

Adult marketers trying to stay on the edge of technology have an endless sea of implementations of known devices complicating an already platform-diverse landscape to contend with, as well as an ongoing torrent of new innovations, "just around the corner."

We need look no further for a dramatic example of this than to Microsoft, who while everyone has been talking about "mobile," has gone and built a cool coffee table PC.

According to the company, Microsoft Surface is targeted towards companies across a variety of industries including retail, hospitality, health care, and public sector, and is "an innovative computing platform that responds to touch, natural hand gestures and real-world objects placed on the display, providing effortless interaction with information and digital content in a simple and intuitive way."

"With a large, 360-degree, horizontal user interface, Surface offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can collaboratively and simultaneously interact with content and each other," stated a Microsoft rep. "In addition, Surface provides businesses with unique value in delivering information and services in a more friendly way allowing better engagement with their customers."

A home version targeting gamers must be in the works, and hot damn, it sounds perfect for porn.

Microsoft Surface provides "a major advancement in computing that moves beyond the traditional user interface to a more natural way of interacting with information."

Not merely a standard PC in a fancy enclosure, the platform offers a unique multi-user experience with a horizontal form factor which makes it easy for several people to gather together for a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience. Microsoft Surface recognizes many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen, but up to dozens and dozens of items at once, says the company.

This high granularity of input allows for direct interaction at previously unseen levels, where users can actually "grab" digital information with their hands and interact with the content through touch and gesture — without the use of a mouse or keyboard.

The adult applications are mind blowing.

Microsoft Surface also features object recognition capabilities where users can place physical objects on the display to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content.

Set a sex toy on it and your favorite video will start to play. Isn't technology great?

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Building Sustainable Revenue Without Opt-Out Cross-Sales

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable. After all, downtime can stall sales, recurring subscriptions can suddenly fail, or compliance gaps can put accounts at risk. Operating in a high-risk sector like the adult industry can further amplify the stress of transition.
