Hello everyone, pardon the necromancy but as a newcomer to the list, I
did some searching on a bug I'm encountering and came across this
posting.
Any updates on this idea Arlo?
I definitely agree with your API implementation, as it would be insane
to write adaptations for every one of the apps ou

You're correct I'd not yet read your second posting, busy week with work
so catching up again.
You've made it clearer to me now and I think it's a great idea and I
wish you luck with it but I don't even know where you're going to start.
You've descri
In the first email I think I made the mistake of describing what I think
this desktop idea will become in 10 or 20 years: a computer system like
you read about in sci-fi books, that can understand everything and help
you manipulate it intuitively. To start I just want to explore the idea

hi...
I think the idea behind M$ Surface is heavily inspired by MR (minority
report) or reverse.
As I said, I've seen some cool stuff you can do with technology like
that at cebit (deutsche telekom had a pool whose surface was made of a
touchscreen ;-)) but it all lacks known input methods. The o
Thanks for the feedback. I have seen clips of Microsoft Surface.
However, it doesn't look like it's targeted at replacing our working
desktop. It seems like more of a social toy with a few useful features
rather than a new user interface that will replace our current operating
system. Thoug

Hi. Raster, i don't think that is what he means, but to have the
desktop itself to recognise WHAT you want to do a

Hi,
your concept sounds heavy sci-fi but very interesting ;-))
I heard M$ is working on a concept with touch-screens much like in
minority report. I've even seen some products on cebit this year that
combine monitor+touchpad with some driver to do work the 'minority
report' style.

I did see the BumpTop TED talk. I just booted up Windows to try it
out. I actually wrote up a criticism of it on my blog a while ago:

Wow, sounds like a neat idea. I'm not a developer, so I can't speak
for the project, but just from a preliminary read I can see that you
might have to go beyond the desktop to get this to work. Do you have
any implementation ideas?
