Can you pick up Word files with it and throw them into a corner carelessly? :)

Can you throw things into the recycle bin?
That would be ace :)

Where in the heck do you guys find the time to locate all this cool crap? Those are awesome by the way. It is even fun to just watch it.

Physics engines (or what-have-you) are getting insanely good. That is pretty interesting.

But what about filenames? Lets say I had 100 word documents, do I have to go through each one?

I thought exactly the same, but didn't comment because I wasn't listening to the commentary, I had music on while watching :)

http://www.digg.com , http://www.slashdot.org , and sometimes http://news.google.com

Visiting each of those a couple times a day only takes a few minutes each time.

Digg reflex: whenever I see the word "cool" near some link I expect it to lead to something flashy and completely useless. It usualy is.

This is yet another "original" GUI solution. It looks completely unusable, and I bet it requires tons of ram and fancy graphics card. We already have Vista working in that direction. Why wont someone try to do some research and develop something small and useful for a change? So far the best GUI I saw is used in Total Commander. It's not "cool" by any standard, but unlike the most "cool" programs it actually increases productivity (and it does so not only in the minds of a few marketing-brainwashed individuals, but in reality as well).
