BumpTop

It's designed for tablet PCs, but it would be nice to see it for a typical desktop. The link points to google, but there are so many videos and stuff for it. It's nuts! The icons are fluid-moving tiles that can interact with each other, and it contains a few different widgets that can be used to arrange the tiles on the desk surface.

Yes, looking swell.

But knowing the first thing I always do is killing everything that isn't really nessecary to preserve my sys ressources ......

It looks as it will eat up plenty CPU time and GPU power.

Hmmmm, anyway, looks better than solitaire to kill some time. And probably much funnier also.

It's hard to say. Sure it's eyecandy, but unlike the crap in Vista, this eyecandy is actually functional and useful if you have the resources to handle it. It may not even be all that resource heavy.

Yea I've seen this before. It looks neat and all, but I can't see it being actually workable. For one thing, I have literally hundreds of documents on my computer, it would be impossible to organize them using this sort of system. It's cool but IMHO just wouldn't work.

I agree but it look very well.

If it's used only as a supplement for your desktop, I think it could work. Though, I agree that they'd have to find another way to implement a file browser.

That looks so <strike>efficient</strike> much like something Apple would do.

Looks like something that would be fun to play around with and then gets boring and irritating after a week.
