It’s just a concept at this stage, but Clayton Miller’s 10/GUI project is getting people’s attention. It proposes a way multi-touch might work in the desktop scenario – detached from the screen, like a giant trackpad, or tablet. It’s hard to see it working perfectly, or being as universally applicable as the trusty mouse, but [...]

Bang! Or not.
A slick short video about the origins of the universe. Funny that it’s called the big bang, when there’s no sound in space.
