		<description><![CDATA[
Today Apple unveiled the much rumored iTablet called iPad. The abilities of the device (or lack of) have already caused lots of conversation out there. I naturally decided to concentrate just on user interface of the device. So, how does the Apple&#8217;s new toy go around the bends? I&#8217;ve made a quick analysis via Engadget&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
RETYPE is a new concept for text input in touchscreen phones/devices. Instead of that huge QWERTY keyboard, which wastes massive amounts of valuable screen estate from your small screen, it relies heavily on gestures. Each key can be used to enter three letters; tap, swipe up and swipe down. It also seems that they have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been throwing this concept back and forth for about 6 months now, thinking if I should just publish it or try to develop it further before publishing. Well, since I don&#8217;t have the proper resources nor the time to develop it further at this point, maybe it&#8217;s just easier to publish it. So here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I stumbled upon this article (Smashing magazine) about Mac OS X usability highlights, after reading it for a while I couldn’t take it anymore. It was a classic case of cherrypicking things to make A look better than B, and all this in the name of usability, my favourite issue. So, after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Students(?) of Maryland and Berkeley have whipped up interesting concept of e-book reader: dual displays linked together to form book-like structure. Although the concept of using dual screens as pages of the book is nothing new in the idea apartment, the actual realization in question seems rather interesting. One can flip pages by performing flip [...]]]></description>

The techique behind this application is simple, and tried-and-true, IR leds meets eyes trick and couples it with rather fawless looking software.
The idea is to shine IR light to persons eyes, catch the reflection with camera without IR filter, and preferably with visible light filter, so that the [...]]]></description>
