Simple things...

I've just had a look at this video linked to from Slashdot, so you'll have to be patient if it's running a bit slowly.

It's a demonstration of a multi-point touchscreen interface. Usually touchscreens are only able to process inputs at a single point. In this case the technology accepts inputs from many different points. And it's incredible how much such a simple feature can completely revolutionise our interaction with a computer. At least I think it does.

And on a follow up to yesterday's post... why did EV1 decide to reboot my machine at around 5.15pm today for no specific reason when I've not got everything booting automatically again yet?
