Most people who know me, know I have an utter hatred and general disgust for youtube.
That said, two of the coolest things I've seen in a very long time are there, so links follow
Metisse
BumpTop
And, should you actually be excited after that, the next step
The future
This is the way all desktop OS's should be pushing towards. This is the kind of technology that will make life simpler, despite and regardless of your technical ineptitude.
God I hope microsoft tries to ignore this.
It's funny though, watching the bumptop video, all I can think of is Jurrasic Park, where Lex (albeit the book was Tim, but thats besides the point) is hacking their "mainframe" or whatever the fuck it was. This suggests that maybe, for as rediculous as hollywood portrays the computer industry, we might just be looking to them to design better computers for dumber people.
