One small step toward gesture-controlled computers
I noticed a few days ago that if I lift Apple's new Magic Mouse off the surface it rests on and hold it in the air, I can still scroll up and down on a page or move backward or forward between pages in Camino (or Safari).
So near and yet so far from being able to completely control the computer with such motions.
Real soon now.
Of course, being able to say "Twitter" or "Google" and have the machine open those pages would be even better.
Prolly even sooner.

I just picked up this app for my iPhone yesterday. Seems like we just keep getting closer. It works pretty well, too. http://www.mobileairmouse.com/
