			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those of us who spend more time in front of our computers instead of other humans know that the current keyboard and mouse method of interaction with our magic boxes are far from perfect. I for one, want a half-sphere, multitouch surface that lets me move stuff onscreen with my right hand (my mouse hand) resting on it. I&#8217;ll also settle for a mindjack, you know, get rid of the peripherals altogether and interact with a computer using nerve signals. Whatever, as long as it saves me from mouse arm aches. R. Clayton Miller wants us to start thinking of new hardware and software that will trump our current ways of interacting with computers with his concept video, 10/GUI.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21540" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/10gui-3.jpg" alt="10gui 3" width="600" height="347" title="10gui 3 photo" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the picture above, Miller&#8217;s take on the next generation interface is a keyboard-sized multitouch pad, partnered with software that makes use of 10 fingers at once. But that&#8217;s not even half of Miller&#8217;s practical ideas. He also imagines an operating system that, instead of letting users clutter their screens with windows, imposes order by constraining the position, size, and movement of windows. Think it won&#8217;t work? You&#8217;d better watch Miller&#8217;s video for the rest of his 10 cents:</p>

<p>You know what, screw you tengooey, man the narrator&#8217;s voice is hypnotic. Comforting. Soothing. He could be saying fruit gallop poncho for all I care. I think I&#8217;ll play this video until I fall asleep. Check out the 10/GUI <a href="http://10gui.com/background/">website</a> for more info.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3800 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/gui2.jpg" alt="gui2" width="520" height="346" title="gui2 photo" /></p>
<p>Ostensibly they can be used to create a &#8220;website on a whiteboard&#8221; but that bit of copy should probably be changed to &#8220;website on a magnet board&#8221; because if you&#8217;re like me, you just tried sticking a magnet to a whiteboard as a test, and it fell on the floor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3799 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/gui.jpg" alt="gui" width="520" height="369" title="gui photo" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.guimagnets.com/">Buy a set</a> (41 magnets) for €20 (about $30) which is a crazy amount of money for magnets, OR buy 5 sets for €90 (about $180) because you have a tree that grows money in your living room, and a lot of refrigerators that need to be embellished. Then again, if you really are using them for work purposes, I guess you could try expensing them. Good luck explaining that one to the boss.</p>
