Remember Minority Report where Tom Cruise handles some futuristic computer interface swinging things around using his both hands? That’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I first watched Tactiva’s tactapad in action 🙂 (thanks Peter ;)). Not as futuristic as in the movie, but very cool nevertheless!

Day of Defeat: Source
has finally been released! Read a review here which also contains a nice comparison with the original DoD.
Tutorial creation soft
On the kimdaba video newspost, I discovered another free tutorial creation software: Wink. Not open-source though.
Photo management — part 2
And I thought open source photo management software was in its infancy?? Kimdaba seems another fine app to handle all of your pictures!
With KimDaBa it is today possible for me to find any image I have in less than 5 seconds, let that be an image with a special person, an image from a special place, or even both.
There are also some videos available to see it in action.

KDE4, a desktop with appeal
On newsforge:

Kalva
Finally a replacement for my excellent open-source windows TV recorder? 🙂 Can’t wait to check it out 😉 .
