		<description><![CDATA[Hello there, internet. Time for a bit of an update.
After Austria, and back in Finland, things have been hectic as hell (writing thesis, thesis project, seminar, two to four simultaneous projects at the same time &#8211; all this in 6-8 months) and finally, yesterday we got one of our big projects done. Freedom!? Well&#8230;
That (big) [...]]]></description>

It seems that Synaptics are about to release new touchpad, one that it able to register 10 fingers at the same time. Tech itself seems mighty compact and quite ready for some serious manufacturing. Also, with the new touchpad, they&#8217;ve developed a demonstrator which has an OLED screen underneath and the new multitouch touchpad above. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some time now people (analysts?) have been predicting the death of a computer mouse, by touchscreen and lately by multi-touch. I&#8217;m, however, going to claim that both of those technologies are absolutely outgunned by a simple Logitech. And as a cherry on the top, I&#8217;m going to give my take on the computer mouse [...]]]></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>

Remember the coolness dripping user interface from Minority report? (oh, come on! who doesn&#8217;t?) Now the new company called Mgestyk Technologies is poised to take that into consumer reality.
Now, as the you might seen the Johnny Chung Lee Wiimote interpretation, Mgestyk system seems to use the same principle, illuminating the users hands with IR-light. However, [...]]]></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[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>

I originally started to write this article about six months ago, far beyond the blog ever even existed. Just knew I had to get things out from my head, to get them organized. Then I saw a video which bummed me, since it presented pretty much the same thing and I scrapped the whole article. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Firefox is heading towards mobile space it&#8217;s pretty obvious that the user interface, which is designed for mouse driven computer screens really can&#8217;t handle today&#8217;s touch-screens and whatnots.

The initial impression is that this really looks nice as far as user interfaces go. However, if you want to go heuristic on this, in the light [...]]]></description>
