,----[ Quote ]
| While support for hotplugging has been a long time coming in X, it may be a 
| few months before any of the Unix desktops have updated their code to take 
| advantage of the new features in the underlying system.

Multi-touch support for MPX [in Linux]

,----[ Quote ]
| MPX already supported multiple input devices. Which blows pretty much all 
| assumptions in user interfaces (input) out of the water. Now I've gone one 
| step further and added support for multi-touch displays. Have a look at this 
| video...

Microsoft Rips off Researchers at Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently while on vacation I was flipping channels and came across a 
| channel called “current TV”, what caught my eye was a  computer  booting 
| to Kubuntu. This computer looked remarkably like Microsoft’s new 
| Surface touch table. Funny thing is the reactable has been around 
| over three years and research has been going on much longer than that.

Jeff Han's Research Ripped by Microsoft Surface?

,----[ Quote ]
| Jeff Han, consulting research scientist for NYU's Department of 
| Computer Science, developed a multi-touch interactive graphical 
| interface, which he presented at the TED conference over a year 
| ago. His research turned into its own company, Perceptive Pixel.
| 
| Now it seems Microsoft completely ripped the idea and created 
| Microsoft Surface.
