Is your cat trying to take over the world?

If you have a cat, you might have noticed that the cat writes you some secret message on the keyboard sometimes. It is said that a monkey could write the complete works of Shakespeare if the monkey was to hit random keys on the keyboard for infinite amount of time.

But I am sure that you probably never heard of a less known fact, that cats have a very high computer IQ, or CAT-Q if you will. Here is a document proving that cats are in fact the smartest animals on our planet.

Kill the mouse, here is the future of user interfaces

We have 10 fingers that are capable of incredible tasks in real life. Just think of the finger movement when someone is playing a guitar or a piano. But we use only "one" finger on the computer screen with our mouse.

The fantasy
So what if we use all of our 10 fingers to interact with computers? Here is the breathtaking interface from the movie Minority Report from 2002, directed by Steven Spielberg.


Reality
iPhone and iPad are just the start. This is probably closer to the future multi-touch interface you will be using at home. It's a concept made by Xerox, that brought us the graphical user interface in the first place.


If this the future of user interaction?
