Behold! The internet...
My god, it's full of ads.
Firefox 4 too, but only for Windows 7 so far. I don't know when is going to be available for Linux.

Ah, very good.
Although I do have one comment to the OP, why the short link? Short links are useful in services such as Twitter which thinks it adds value by limiting you to 140 characters, or IRC where you wouldn't want to spam the whole place with a link that's 4 lines long, but in a forum like this? Even if the link was too long VBulletin would simply not show the entire link in the actual post. (Sorry, I just think shot links are in general, bad, unless their really needed).
Did you enjoy this rant? You can find more at:

Lots of those involve experimental multitouch systems thrown onto Linux. The difference here is it's aiming to be a standard, well supported, top-to-bottom solution to last and coexist on the desktop. It distinctly isn't a tech demo.
When I first read someone was doing multitouch (I forget where…), I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much is going on, and now super excited :)

Nice. Its about time.
Its because they are using the new kernel.
YAY!!!
I have an HP-Tx2-1275dx, and I'm hoping for some more functionality.
This isn't just for touchscreen devices, but it can also be used for my laptop's touchpad too, right? Like in OSX you can use two fingers on the touchpad and scroll. Will this be a standard option in Ubuntu within the next year?
Also, is this going to be integrated in both GNOME and KDE within Ubuntu?
Is this going to soon be an option in all major Distros? Like Debian, Red Hat, Mandriva, OpenSuse, Fedora, etc, etc?
Will this be more of a standard through KDE/GNOME or the Kernal or is it going to be purely something extra that the distro puts in?
All I really care about is that I can use my touchpad on my laptop to do things like you can in OSX, because I really like that feature... But this is really cool if it can be well supported, and works... I'm kind of excited.
