I'm personally holding out for something like SixthSense myself. Look here.

Shucks! And just when it looked like we'll be saying hello to our keyboard and mouse.

both would be nicest

I see the TED videos re sixth sense are all 2009 - has there been any developments since?
(I didnt see anything either on wikipedia)

I used to daydream of really baroque interfaces like seen on alien spaceships in SF shows. (Interlaced triangular touch-pad layouts, flowing Hub-And-Spoke control hardware designs, and more.) Remember how the heydey of "Cyberpunk" was the late 90's? Between parts of Star Trek series, the Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic, and more? Even some of the old "cute" 80's films had some innovative interfaces. (I vaguely recall Last Starfighter had some. Star Wars fans want to chime in?)

Now the Future of Computing is here... and it's ... UGLY. Windows 8?! Eew.

Where did all the cool tech flavor go? Did we lose that innocent sense of wonder and get crushed into being drones?

Nope. Opportunistic IP laws and patent trolls crushed it for us.

Whenever I see something like this, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Wouldn't your arms get tired?"

Beats me, I haven't gone near AOL since 1997.

But it is a forum standard for I 2nd that.

[Arizona Hot]

Maybe, but it is infamous from it's AOL days.
