For what IT worths

When I’ve bumped into the photographed scenario in the office, my first thought was that this notebook is not loved by my colleague. Then I realized, that putting a fine piece of electronic equipment full of valuable data right on the footpath in the kitchen floor, next to the heater and two big bottles of water, almost exactly below the water cooler couldn’t be anything else than a bold form of expressing “I have a solid backup strategy.”

I’ve just recently stumbled upon this awesome site temptingly called “Don’t click it“. Visiting it made me wonder why on earth we still stick to the tiresome habits of clicking on mouse buttons, when we can naturally get away with simple mouse gestures instead. Discovering this marvelous idea of changing the user interface layout adaptively upon mouse gestures was both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Apart from telling the idea, the site has some very elaborate demos to help understanding the concept too.

So, tell me, how long could you resist clicking the button? I survived for several minutes, and can’t wait to see this adopted on my desktop.
