In September 2005, my girlfriend Steph and I left our home in the UK and decided to go live in Vancouver, Canada for a few years. We wanted to have a new life adventure. These are our stories :)

Cool touch-sensitive screen
Check this out. Some guys have invented a multi-point force-sensitive touch screen. What that means to you and me is a way of working with a computer that beats the pants off a mouse. I want one. But twice as big.

That sounds like the nuts. To me, what it means however (With one of my dubious lines of work), is that its suddenly plausable to do a decent action style 'pub' game (providing the operators switch to this stuff).
Currently their screens are single touch, and so introducing a 'manouvre' and 'fire' system simultanously is not going to happen. However, with a multipoint touch, its suddenly a realtiy.

Will be keeping my eyes on that one, for sure...
(Btw - No, they won't put buttons on them!).
