BumpTop is a very cool implementation of Window’s 7 touchscreen features. It looks like what they do on CNN or the movie ‘Minority Report’. It’s a 3D multi-touch gestural interface that makes your desktop fun, well fun until we all get use to it. Right now, I’m trying to wrap my head around the benefits for [...]
