Virtual Earth & WPF Multitouch

[YesYou123333]

Man, your hands must get awfully tired. Never liked this touch screen idea.

this is not the future man windows never will be...with WPF without a freakin easy to use datagrid!!!!

GOd! do I really have to do everything?

Using 2 hands to resize is wrong.

1. there are one armed people who might find it offensive (also no armed)

2. it limits how much you can resize in one movement

3. double tapping with one or two fingers then dragging would be much more suitable

4. As the size of screens increase, we'll see this fad going back to small devices

I have spoken

It's not to offense (partially) limbless people.

But to improve certain interfaces intuitively purely for interface controlling-means.

Question: How do (partially) limbless people control their computers currently?

I'm sure they also would not be able to move any conventional mouse.

Besides, if you would pay at least a bit of attention, you would have known that major techniques are being developed for those people.

@gunblade64 this was a clue to any developers who love counter intuitive gimmicky nonsense. the technology isnt pointless the implementation is.

even in 2011, GUIs are the selling points of smart phones when that should have been open sourced long ago

kinect sucks balls not because kinect sucks, but because the devs use it to make ball sucking games

so i was merely giving pointers, it wasnt up for debate

[gunblade64]

@part2themovie Oh yes, i see your point then :)

I totally agree that hardwares such as phones, should be sold with an open-source GUI and if possible even the OS itself.

It will broaden the market with more costumers and ideas as well.
