Cow Computing

Few days ago, i have came across a website 10/GUI. The author – R. Clayton Miller, has proposed a novel multi-touch paradigm together with a redesigned desktop interface. The idea makes use of multi-touch technology on an area around keyboard instead of the computer screen, which solves all the problem related to screen (e.g. obstruction of your hands on the screen). Other then the multi-touch, he has also invented a new desktop interface, which could help facilitating fingers interaction on the computer rather than the now-a-days cursor-oriented windows. Anyway, it’s really worth you the time to watch the video they provide to give you a better understanding on this new technology.

Recently, i have been working on an productizing an product of my working company. It involves developing an extension for Thunderbird. During the development process, i have discovered there has been inadequate resources out there for Thunderbird Extension, especially when most developers are interested in working on another Mozilla’s flagship product — FireFox. So, i would like to share my experience on this

To begin, we have to prepare the appropriate directory.
