]]> Comment on The state of AJAX by William Morris http://sudhirtonse.com/techtee/2007/07/30/the-state-of-ajax/#comment-3 William Morris Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:26:49 +0000 http://sudhirtonse.com/techtee/2007/07/30/the-state-of-ajax/#comment-3 Did any discussions occur on supporting IE 6 better, or ways for developers to make IE AJAX apps run better out of the gate? Seems like that is a recurring theme, and I wonder what the community is doing to address it.

]]> Comment on Surface Computing and Multipoint devices will kill the mouse? (see comment for Post) by stonse http://sudhirtonse.com/techtee/2007/06/01/surface-computing-and-multipoint-devices-will-kill-the-mouse/#comment-2 stonse Fri, 01 Jun 2007 22:34:29 +0000 http://sudhirtonse.com/techtee/2007/06/01/surface-computing-and-multipoint-devices-will-kill-the-mouse/#comment-2 Want to grab data by your hand? An earlier post I penned talked about the shape of data - particularly envisaging the shape of web data. This technology (surface computing) is about grabbing and manipulating various kinds of "data" and making various devices "talk" to each other without wires, keyboards and mouse. Its the anti-thesis of a "Personal Computer" - its the quintessential "social computer" - one can easily envisage a Starbucks lounge where the hip crowd gather on a "coffee table" discussing whatever geeks discuss. (Not sure what will happen if you spill your coffee on the Surface :-) ) Of course other applications abound .. casinos with blackjack tables, hotel lounges with "gathering tables" .. and so on. Ever since Xerox/Apple/Microsoft (in that order?) started working on a visual screen and interactions with the visual screen, plenty of research has gone into making the experience better. Multi-touch devices are nothing new (wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch). The University of Toronto and Bell Labs have been recognized as pioneers in this area of research. Apple's iPhone for e.g. is touted to be such a device. Touchlight, Microsoft Surface etc. are such next generation devices.
