What does he mean when he's says google should have something like this in their lobby and everyone laughs? I don't get it!
-
typical iFag elitist thinking you have this tech in your pocket?
-
@soloriens1 by "interface" he means the menus, toolbars, and other visual points that one uses to control the computer. Much like the start button on Windows, or the task bar etc...
the reason he is praising the "no interface" is because the system is what is called "intuitive". That means it doesn't need direction from a pre-set menu bar. It can "feel" what you are doing, and respond accordingly.
Hope that helped! : )

that was mind-blowing in 2006, now in 2010 we'll get a home-device that will allow the rest of us to dig into this kind of surface experience... I'am really keen on going to use Google Maps on an iPad soon :-)
-
he means you virtually forget you're just waving your hands over a screen
-
you don't have to learn how to use it. With PCs you have to learn how to type and use a mouse. It's more natural with touch screen.

o-0' i think it means that there are no rules/instructions/set way to how it works.

This is a technology demonstration, of course he wouldn't have developed a complete OS to work with the system. Do you think that when the mouse was invented, it was instantly usable with every single program in existence? Anyways, the technology he shows here is already being integrated into computers nowadays. Ever used an iPhone or the multitouch trackpad on a Macbook?
