Skyfire Flash-playing Web Browser 'sold Out'

~~~~Excerpts from PC World~~~~

When Skyfire Labs this week released an iOS browser that promised to play Flash content, it seemed they had a hit on their hands. But few--including Skyfire Labs itself--expected the app to sell as quickly as it did.
According to Skyfire Labs, its $3 Skyfire Web Browser app became the top grossing app in the App Store within five hours--far exceeding the company's initial projections and forcing it to temporarily stop selling the app to reduce strain on its servers.

AIST's i3Space tactile 3D interface: destroyer of (virtual) worlds

Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) is responsible for a good many innovations that the denizens of the year 2030 take for granted, and the new i³Space certainly won't tarnish the institute's record. Built on the foundation of AIST's own GyroCubeSensuous for tactile feedback, the i³Space tracks the motion of the operator's two index fingers in 3D space, and sends back "illusionary tactile and kinesthetic sense" through the controllers. Details are still a little thin, but AIST plans to show the full rig off at CEDEC next week, with eyes on reducing the size of the system of courting gaming, design, and medical applications in the near future.
