by gregg & 1 other
The thrills of touching each others' hands
Explore the intimate touch of each others fingers with Fingle's two-player puzzles. Break the ice or engage friends to get awkwardly close.
Fingle is a cooperative two-player iPad® game about the thrills of touching each other on a multi-touch device. Two players drag up to five buttons of one color onto their matching targets; their movement makes it impossible to avoid contact, creating intimate moments with intertwined hands.

So instead let us give more time for doing physical things in the real world and less time for staring at (and touching) the glowing flat rectangle.

Strange Rain for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch - Opertoon
by sbrothier
What makes rain strange? When it’s falling on your screen—from the inside.
Strange Rain turns your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a skylight on a rainy day. Raindrops fall and splatter on your screen, shifting perspective in 3D as you tilt your device like a handheld camera. By touching the screen, you can guide the path of the raindrops, stepping through the notes of an eerie melody as you go. It’s a relaxing, intriguing experience that feels as if you’re holding a living window in your hands.
Budo Blog: Etiquette
by Takwann
In feudal Japan, a society that fully understood the realities of violence, developed reigei (not Bob Marley) which roughly translates as etiquette art. In a time and place where accidently bumping into someone (touching saya) could mean a fight to the death you better understand the rules.
Touching and Gesturing on the iPhone | SitePen Blog
by srcmax & 1 other
Everyone who owns an iPhone (or who has been holding out for an iPhone 3G) is bound to be excited about a lot of the new things the device can finally do, particularly the introduction of third-party applications. But those of us in the web development community have been itching for something further still: good web applications on the iPhone. This means we need a suitable replacement for mouse events. And boy did we get them! Though at first the APIs seem a little sketchy, once you’ve learned them you should be able to do amazing things in your application.

CESSA: Montreal Sound Map
Sound maps are in many ways the most effective auditory archive of an environment, touching on aspects political, artistic, cultural, historical, and technological. We are aiming to create an archival database of sound recordings from all over Montréal. The Montréal Sound Map is an ongoing and continually evolving project with the goal of a constant addition of new recordings being placed into a browsable tagging system (see road map).

Remote iTunes | control iTunes from a remote computer
by garret & 1 other
If you have ever wanted to remotely control a computer running iTunes then this is your solution. Using the remote Mac's Bonjour name or I.P. address you can control most of the basic iTunes functions without ever touching the remote Mac. Play/Pause the music, make new playlists, turn the volume up or down, search the music database, and have fun!
Flash vs. Javascript for Web Mapping Applications: Our Experience with Maker! | Off the Map - Official Blog of FortiusOne
All this makes the raw computation speed of javascript much closer to Flash, but Flash still wins for vector graphics and I don’t see canvas or SVG touching it soon (although if it’s in IE8 I may change my story…)

Fluxbuntu - Get - Downloads
by tadeufilippini
How Easy is Fluxbuntu to Install?
We have tried to make Fluxbuntu as accessible to users as possible. A user with a moderate amount of computing knowledge should have the ability to install Fluxbuntu or take it for a test flight using the "Live CD". A "Live CD" allows you to start your computer up and try out Fluxbuntu without even touching your regular computing environment. This means that you have complete freedom to try out Fluxbuntu before you decide to install it. If you think you would like to use Fluxbuntu on a computer with a full installation, simply follow the instructions.
Note: Due to the technical aspects of a "Live CD", it will perform significantly poorer than a standard installation.
IMPORTANTE ! IMPORTANTE !! IMPORTANTE !!! NB ! NB !! NB !!! [ : - ] { : - }
Help! I Can't Logon!
The Fluxbuntu Live CD ships with a default user name and password. The username is fluxbuntu and password is livecd.
