Whatever happened to the BumpTop Desktop?

January 4, 2009


Video: YouTube

About 1 and a half years ago the BumpTop desktop was featured on Ted Talks. Now I haven’t heard anymore about it, I wonder why it seems to have paled into insignificance.

UPDATE: Anand (the inventor of the Bumptop Desktop) has told us that the Bumptop is in private Beta and launching soon, as shown in the comments below. I would like to give this system a go when it comes out.

Microsoft’s Seinfeld ad

September 8, 2008


Video: YouTube

I was always a Seinfeld fan, loved the show so I gave a little chuckle when I found out Seinfeld was paid reportably 10 Million to perform in a few ads for Microsoft.

Now to see Microsoft have to pay somebody else all that money is priceless.

Another in the long line of Mac vs PC video’s, this one I think is quite ironic in that it’s so true.

Wonders of modern science… will it never cease. All the same I’d like one, not sure what I’d use it for though.

Perhaps it could be used to design cars, where you would learn before you made them, that you cant replace a sump gasket in some cars, without removing the motor first. Or that you can’t physically get at that back spark plug… that would be handy I guess.
