Testing feed — Anyone use Atom?

Hi all, 

Sorry for the slow updates, I've finally got the UI&us feed working again, I think!

If this post has appeared in your reader, please comment and let me know.

I've not got an atom feed setup. Let me know if you use Atom rather than RSS.

More posts coming soon,

 

Keith

Better in Touch with Touch Interfaces



New innovation in Opera Labs Fingertouch, a dynamic interface element designed for fingertips seems initially good. I don't like the unpredictability of the interface though — "will this touch on a dense list of elements bring up another interface? Or is this my only chance to hit the right thing?"

It makes the experience of hitting a tiny button with your 'virtual finger' just about as hard as it is in real life, by turning your cursor into a giant hand. Note: I am experiencing some crashing with the app, which I think relates to moving between single and dual-screen setups.
