Visited a lotta great links this week so I thought I’d write a post with a listing of them.
Mashable
The first one is about Microsoft’s new ‘notebook’ called ThumbTack basically a great tool for researchers (Mashable has a great article about it and the others, link above). Currently Google Notebook seems to be at the top of the list, and there is EverNote and UberNote too (a long list of others) Along with that is the information that Microsoft Office will be preparing web versions of their software. This article from the BBC explains the move.
Wired Blog on eyeborg
This is great - Canadian filmmaker will be putting a camera in his eye, what an amazing idea! “Rob Spence looks you straight in the eye when he talks. So it’s a little unnerving to imagine that soon one of his hazel-green eyes will have a tiny wireless video camera in it that records your every move. ” from Wired Blog.

The most intriguing is a series of patent applications which describe a “Multidimensional” user interface. Apple has essentially been working on true 3D desktop environments. ” from Macrumors
Apple patent application
That last link, to the Apple Patent I had to include as it appeared yesterday, and just this week I had started the beta for BumpTop, so pretty topical. (which is worth a look at, also watch amazing demonstration by Anand Agarawala at TED.
Ok, those are the links, that does seem to be a pretty huge list, but I loved them all for different reasons and thought they were worth a mention.
