Google UK's YouTube channel posted a video that highlights some of the most interesting events from Google's history. "From Stanford to Mountain View and around the world, featuring many different products, starting with BackRub (Search) up to Google Wave, StreetView and Chrome."

I can't wait when things like this are the norm, what a strange world it will be when they look back and see people using the mouse...

A dark and mysterious journey with Polish artist Miroslaw Balka and Champagne Valentine.

Champagne Valentine worked closely with Miroslaw Balka to create a mysterious experience for his current exhibition at the Tate Modern, How It Is, the tenth commission in The Unilever Series for the Turbine Hall. The theme comes from the artwork itself. It feels like a 3D shoot 'em up game as you venture round dark corners for Miroslaw to reveal his inspirations and his own background.

Champagne Valentine combined Flash and Papervision technologies to create the experience. Tate will also soon be releasing a partner iPhone app, which mimics the How It Is website but will also offer location-based gameplay. Using the iPhone's GPS system, the app will add a whole new level to the digital experience when users are in the vicinity of the Tate Modern.

10/GUI is probably one of the most dramatic reimaginations of the desktop user interface I’ve seen in a long time. This concept proposes a multitouch interaction system that does not require a multitouch screen (and thus does not have to deal with all the problems such a screen causes), but instead uses a multitouch area near the keyboard. The proposed graphical user interface makes full use of this multitouch area. Watch the video, it’s definitely worth your time (of course, some people disagree ☺).

Julien Lescure, I'm the co-founder and CEO of So touch, the new born creative multi-touch company.

Tired of seeing the great level of digital creativity and digital marketing opportunities trapped into the frame of the personal computer, me and my partner in business decided to surf the multi-touch wave 6 months ago creating So touch and unleash the digital world into the real one! Three weeks ago we've done a great multi-touch installation for the onedotzero festival in London, which is a performance from all point of views (technical, creative and human) and we really want the world to know it!

So touch, the newborn creative multi-touch company, has this summer collaborated with onedotzero, the famous London based contemporary, digital arts organization, to design and develop the most creative and fully featured multi-touch application ever created as of today.
