    Zach Lieberman spoke at a Swiss-Miss Creative Morning. It was mind blowing. I'm excited to start experimenting with OpenFrameworks.

    That was truly wonderful.

    I'm glad to see more posts showing the human side of technology.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to engage in a bit of gadget lust like everyone else, but it's really nice to see something with heart. And bonus: open source!

    Thank you very much for posting this.

    @Hobolicious: Wholeheartedly agree. I like to toy with gadgets myself, but I'm glad some people design technology for human needs rather than simple wants. I'm amazed that someone whipped up such a useful piece of machinery out of a mere 50 bucks; the greatest ideas always seem to be the simplest.

    I felt truly happy that the man was given the ability to use his creative talents again, but also a tinge sad. The eye is no hand, and it's very difficult to emulate smooth strokes and curves through movement of the eye alone. This is mostly because the eye functions using saccadic movements, which are rapid, jerky movements in a single direction (try it yourself while looking at a blank wall--near impossible to move your eye smoothly). But like I said, I'm only a tinge sad since this can actually be overcome with a lot of training, which I'm sure this guy will be able to do. Humans have no bounds. #eyewritergraffiti

    ahahahahahaha at LorenzoBunting.
    You are joking right? Of course you can, Google.com is built lightly, simply and for all browsers.

    However it is one of very few websites that work with IE6. face it dicktwag.

    @SakhiTriton Really? I have no problems visiting google.com with IE6. No errors, no popups, and I can click on results. I guess your install of IE6 must be broken.

    I agree!
    Our company intranet does not let half the applications on it work with Firefox... boo! Damn u IE 6 and Microsoft... why can't they get with the times. It's bad enough i have to use a Microsoft powered pc, but constraining my web browser is just crazy. Yeah it will cost a lot of money to upgrade all the intranet but i say to hell with it, we spend tons of money on all sorts of other stuff why not this too.

    Just adding my two cents. I am system admin (or IT dept) we are moving our entire business email to GAE and with it we will be rolling out Chrome. The handful of non IT people we have shown and installed Chrome for love it. It will by mid next year be our prefered browser over IE7 and FF 3.5 which our users have now. All in all we give our users the choice (as long as it isnt IE).

    You have that a bit backwards. To quote Wikipedia, "Chromium is an open source web browser which Google Chrome is based on."

    My company's IT department still forbids Chrome from being installed on any work machines because of that overinflated typo in the original EULA that got blown up in the media as "GOOGLE OWNS EVERYTHING YOU DO"

    @chefgon: Check out "Chromium". It's the portable version of Chrome which you can run from a USB stick.
