I thought the "interactive panorama" link in the article was neat. Had mouseover tooltips for each of the apps he had open, too.

His "dashboard" is cool in a way, but also sad. Makes me think of some rumors (perhaps well-founded or even true) that Sesame Street reduced the attention span of children because of the constant switching of scenes and characters and etc.


Does there need to be a 12-step program for gadget addiction? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-step_program
