BumpTop

BumpTop software is a program for desktops. BumpTop sets up the items on your desktop to make it look more like real life objects.

You can fling folders and icons around. Items can be grouped into levels of importance. The more you use an item the faster it will grow. The items can be viewed like the pages in a book by stacking them into groups, spread out along paths, or they can be viewed in square grids. Everything on the interface stays upright. Items are selected by drawing circles around them. The icons also have the ability to fly, change sizes, and flip around.

This is an interesting interface for a desktop, but at the same time it is kind of unnecessary. I guess if you are into toys or game-like stuff you might like it.

If walls could talk...

There are new flat, flexible speakers that can be hung on the walls like posters and make announcements. These new loudspeakers are actually less than a quarter of a millimeter thick. The speakers also have the ability of being placed inside ceiling tiles or car interiors.

This product were developed by Warwick Audio Technologies. FLL uses thin conducting and insulating materials, this results in it becoming a flexible laminate. Public spaces will definitely appreciate the FLL speakers because the sound will project farther then traditional speakers, which will produce a better sound quality.

It is amazing how technology keeps advancing into so many different things. Technology truly affects everything around us, even the walls.
