The head of Microsoft's Windows division, Steven Sinofsky, decided to do something rather odd, and he tweeted pictures to prove it.

Sinofsky yesterday tweeted a picture of himself skateboarding on top of a Microsoft Surface tablet. The tablet had two sets of wheels strapped to it, giving Sinofsky -- helmet and all -- the chance to check out the durability of the device. In a second picture, he shows that the Surface made it out of the experience just fine.
A bit less draconian: LG is currently shipping small volumes of a plastic-substrate eink dispay. By next year it may available in Amazon-ian volumes so the next KPW may be kid-resistant.
