Hard Rock Cafe Multi-Touch, Multi-user wall, Las Vegas

Okay so i seriously would love something like this at home :-). Of course a little smaller. I don't think it will be long till we see some real application of multitouch computing in a home personal environment beyond the mobile device.

Oh, this is so true!

This one from xkcd.com just hit the nail on the head

Ignite: Molly Wright Steenson - A Series of Tubes, EP 7

muhahah. A Series of tubes indeed. The reason she is talking so fast is because the talk is for a short fixed time and her slides only stay up for 10 seconds each! youch.

I got talked into helping a friend this weekend whose computer had been disabled by viruses.

After doing a scan with the command line scanner provided by sophos and the latest ide's from their website I noticed that there was still some suspicious looking file under "Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data" that weren't picked up by the scan.

I copied the file to my 256M USB Key and uploaded it to Sophos:

Sophos just got back to me and told me that i had discovered a new virus which they dubbed Troj/Muddy-A

It's a shame i didn't get to name it.

[Here is the info about the Trojan i discovered]
