multi-finger GUI

it is rumored that the next iter­a­tion of the ipod will fea­ture a nice screen with a 3.5″-touchscreen and a dig­i­tal scroll­wheel.

how­ever cool that may be, i was really impressed by that tech-demo from the new york uni­ver­sity here: bi-manual, multi-point, and multi-user input on a graph­i­cal inter­ac­tion sur­face. it shows how one would be able to inter­act with an OS/GUI with mul­ti­ple fin­gers and two hands. wicked!

you can directly grab the demo reel as a 17 mb .mpg-file or 12mb .mp4-file (both linked in the coral-cache–ver­sion to save some bandwidth).

apple rebate coupon code [update]

i finally ordered an ipod from apple (jan, don’t flame me, please :-).

now apple sent me a rebate coupon code which i can redeem for my next pur­chase at the apple store. it’s 45 bucks off a pur­chase of 449 or more CHF. since i don’t plan to use it (it expires at the 15. sep­tem­ber) i put it up for grabs here.

are you inter­ested? then leave a com­ment and i’ll gladly pass it over to you.

nach­dem ich let­zte woche einen ipod bei apple bestellt habe, schenken die mir einen rabatt-coupon für den näch­sten einkauf im apple store (45.- auf mind. 449.-). da ich bis zum 15.9 nix mehr bestellen will, ver­schenk ich den gutschein.

also, falls du bis dann was im apple­store kaufen willst, hin­ter­lass mir einen kom­men­tar oder schreib mir ein mail und ich werde dir den code zusenden.

update: he did, sort of…

apple doesn’t want to sell me stuff

dear apple.

i just spent an hour and a half to lay­out a book (for a gift) in iphoto. now, that i want to buy it, you inform me, that my credit-card can­not be accepted for this trans­ac­tion. i double-checked with my credit-card-company, and yes, my card is fully valid and within its limit, so there’s noth­ing wrong with that. and i’d also love to buy sunny days, but that also doesn’t work.

and hey, it’s a gift which i need soon, so what can i do?

don’t won­der, i already called at the apple help line, but they’re closed so late in the evening…

itunes 4.9

apple just released the new itunes, now with included podcast-feature.

the ITMS now fea­tures a podcast-section, so apple released a direc­tory, where any­one can add their pod­cast. for a start, you can go to the top 20 of apples pod­casts, which will be more than enough to fill all your gad­gets with stuff to lis­ten to.

so, you podcaster-guys and –gals, get ready for some mas­sive bandwidth-consumption! (cause apple is only link­ing to your files, i down­load them from you…)

a new gadget

ok, i admit, i could also have bought a really long (but mar­gin­ally less expen­sive) cable, but i has got me an air­port express from ricardo [1].

now i can play all my tunes [2] over my bad-ass stereo with b&o loud­speak­ers, much bet­ter than the puny log­itech speak­ers :-) and if i’d actu­ally had a printer, i could print wire­less, but that’s another story. now i just need another wire­less enabled gad­get to fully use this new one.

[1]: i pre­fer using it to ebay, it seems less scam-ridden…

[2]: cur­rently 2624 songs, 11.21 GB
