		<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>

The video itself is quite old, circa 2007 (old in internet time and/or in multi-touch time), but I wanted still to post it since it illustrates nicely the way how at the moment multi-touch seems to be more of an evolutionary hit and miss than actually a step forward. The video in question is quite [...]]]></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>

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>

When staring down the results one can clearly see the problem, Linux/Ubuntu still has. When arguing of [...]]]></description>
