king talk

I think nearly everybody has noticed the release of Apple’s magic mouse, a pimped out mouse featuring multi touch technology. After three years of hype around that technology it finds its way at mobile phones and newly on this over 40 year old input device. What would Mr Engelbart would have thought about it?

Nearly as long as we are using the mouse, Apple and Microsoft are fighting one another. After the first rumours about a new multi touch mouse came up earlier this month, Microsoft released some ideas for a multi touch mouse. Just watch and enjoy… the FTIR mouse is weird, the »Side Mouse« could be a complety new experience (I´m not sure if it’s positive or negative). At the end I like the mechanical solution of the »Arty Mouse« somehow. Could probably work for 5 fingers?

I was really excited by the game »shout n dodge« today. A simple flashgame that reminded my a bit at the helicopter flash game, but this time you don´t have to click. (Fight the mouse!) After you allowed flash to use your microfone, you have to scream. The louder the higher your character will rise… Beware! Red quads trying to block your way… SHOUT LOUDER!… Puuuh…

This game and some more can be found at Sophie Houlden´s website. Her goal is to program easy to use games in 48 hours. Other games like Towlr Podge and Pineapple22 are also fun to play.
