Living Room / Re: Microsoft's proposed new user interface
« on: June 01, 2007, 03:37 PM »
i spent the last weekend at c-base in berlin, germany attending a conference.
they had one standing around there that was bigger than MS's
i even played around with it for a a bit, here're some crappy pics i took: http://mein-bowl.de/mt/

nice thing: it was able to detect your hand or other materials responsive to infra red light
while they were still a good 15cm away from the surface and distinguish between touching the surface and just hovering over it
just take a look at the blue/greenish overlay blobs representing the detected area: http://mein-bowl.de/mt/dsc05394.jpg

Living Room / Video: Stop the big brother state
« on: May 30, 2007, 02:28 PM »
the big brother state is an educational film about what politicians claim to be
protection of our freedom, but what we refer to as repressive legislation.

since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11,
governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which,
so the government say, should increase national security.

these laws obviously aim at another goal:
the states gaining more and more control
of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.

very well-made info video made at the university of applied sciences augsburg, germany.
watch it!
