"We used Touch Projector to paint on a multimedia facade (here: Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria). Users simply aim their device at the facade causing the viewfinder to show the facade locally. In this local image, users can now draw with the selected color. The building then changes its color accordingly as if users directly painted on it."

My nephew shared a link to a post about the IBM Muppet Show on the Technologizer blog, so I followed the link and decided the topic was worthy of a quick post.

Many people have told me that the main reason that they do not use Linux is not because of the lack of games or the lack of commercial software, but mostly because they find the buggy at times. This is completely understandable to me and I nod my head and let them know that I [...]

A Desk on Top

How lots of application windows do you have open in the coursework of your typical computer work? If it is one, you may cease reading at this point. If, however, you do have a clutter of windows on your computer desktop - go no further, you have found the solution!
Windows offers a convenient way to access applications & documents you use often by placing shortcuts to your computer desktop.

These shortcuts are fast to click, but what in case you have a window or four on top of your desktop? Minimizing or moving around an active window to access your desktop may appear a lovely solution for some time, but what in case you work with over one or four applications? Those shortcut icons are covered well to make you spend some time to minimize or move away every window that blocks desktop access.
OK, possibly desktop shortcuts are not that great an idea after all. Let's open that same shortcut from the Windows Start menu! Click Start, select All Programs, & locate the application you were looking for. Slow, is not it? I told you.
Wait, here's the Show Desktop button! Let's click it! Great, you can see the desktop & start your shortcut. Fast? Yeah! But hey, where are your windows? Those multiple applications you were using for work? They are minimized. Let's try the Desktop button four times again... nope. It minimized the window you have opened. It only worked until you actually started the shortcut. To restore your other windows, see the beginning of this editorial - minimize, minimize, minimize, & restore, restore, restore. Slow & boring.
Four times the mouse cursor is over an icon, DESKonTOP will enlarge it to show you the full-size version of the icon & its text label, allowing you to clearly see & click the shortcut without training your sniper skills.

I’ll be honest, in all my time in Linux and Windows, I’ve had a lot of hassles coming from my wireless card. That’s not to say that’s it’s a perfect flop or anything like that, I’ve just had what I feel is more then my fair share of issues with it. For example, when I [...]
