Official documentation of Surface hardware - pixelsense

I'm looking for an official documentation of the hardware used by Microsoft Surface 1.0. I found the wikipedia article, but there aren't really official references for the facts mentioned.
Any hints where to find it?

On TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692114(Surface.10).aspx

Here's a link to the official Microsoft Surface Table Data Sheet (pdf):
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9686793
And this is an article by Geoff Walker and Mark Fihn about the touch technology inside of the Surface Table (pdf):

SCIM 2.0 implementations with good documentation

I just started exploring scim2.0. Following link provides me different implementations of scim2.0.
http://www.simplecloud.info/
Can some one suggest me, which one is easy to learn and has good documentation. It is helpful, if you suggest me some good tutorials about scim.....
If you're interested in a .NET / OWIN-based open source solution, please take a look at https://github.com/PowerDMS/Owin.Scim. Documentation is limited as the project is still in alpha, but there is a WIKI and sample project to help you get started.
Note: I am the lead developer on this project.
If you are looking for a reference Java/EE implementation of SCIM2 you can checkout Apache Directory SCIMple or SCIM 2 SDK | PingIdentity

How do I find working examples of Cocoa/Carbon API?

I find it hard to find some working examples of Cocoa/Carbon framework functions, whereas there are well documented function prototypes from Apple.
For example, LSOpenItemsWithRole function has well defined prototype, but I guess some examples would be a great help for a mac programming beginners like me.
How can I find some working examples for Cocoa/Carbon API? Doesn't Apple provide that? MSDN has good working examples, I expect similar thing from Apple.
You can find some sample code on Apple's developer site, and some of it can also be found within the Xcode documentation viewer. In fact in some cases, but probably not enough, you'll see links to sample code right at the bottom of the API documentation.

Where can I find information about programming the TI TMS320C64xx DMA controller

I need to do some simple memory transfer using this DSP, but I am unable to find any documentation about the DMA functions. I am using C with code composer 3.3
OK in a flash of inspiration I Googled for the one DMA specific function I found in the code, and found this and TMS320C645x DSP Enhanced DMA (EDMA3) Controller user Guide
It seems to me that Texas Instruments gives quite some documentation on these processors. For instance, the TMS320C6418 data sheet. A list of all TMS320C64xx controllers is listed here (click on the part number to go to the reference material).
I'm not well acquainted with the subject matter, just tried to locate the information for you. If this isn't providing the information you're after, please let me know.
EDIT: added links below for ease of reference for later visitors (they have been mentioned in the comments):
List of published documents for these and other related Texas Instruments IC's: Digital Signal Processors & ARM Microprocessors
General reference guide for TMS320C64xx processors: TMS320C64x+ DSP Megamodule Reference Guide
Somewhat related, as an example of programming: video processing with the TMS320C64xx processors.
See also the answer provided by the OP himself, which shows two additional helpful documents.

cryptoapi for dummies

Can some one point me to some books or online resources to help learn about the windows cryptoapi package? I did find "Cryptography for Visual Basic" by Richard Bondi. I'd be more interested in something aimed at C++ or the package in general. The MDSN is overwhelming!
Here is a simple tutorial that could point you in the right direction. I hope it helps.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/EncryptionCryptoAPI.aspx
MSDN can be overwhelming however there are some pieces of light. This page would provide you some context:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms867086.aspx
In any case, it really depends on what are you planning to do. If you're just using CryptoAPI to perform cryptographic operations you're fine with MSDN or just have a look to Wincrypt.h (there's a lot of info inside that header).
However, if you're panning to develop you own CSP (cryptographic service provider) with or without hardware you would need further information.
If you give me more details I can point you to the appropriate place (I did both things time ago).

Sample application for Microsoft PixelSense?

Do you guys came across any sample application (i need source code of the app) for Microsoft PixelSense in web?
Guys after googling lot i have collected few useful links to start coding on surface environtment.

if you guys come across any useful post for surface please post your answers.
You will need the Surface SDK 1.0 which is not available thru an official source.
You can now download the Surface SDK with sample applications from the Surface Partner site. If you have access to the Surface Community site there are more advanced applications without source there.
