Surfing the Web Haptically

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 10, 2001 @04:53AM from the useful-interaction-or-maybe-just-buzz dept.

Chakat sent us a story about Haptic feedback, a buzzword ready technology where the mouse provides tactile feedback in addition to letting you click on your porn. Seriously I would love a bit of feedback when my mouse moves over a button or a link: Sorta like how modern window managers can snap borders to edges of other windows or the screen when moving or resizing... I think that a similar tactile thing for buttons would ease mouse navigation. Or else I can just continue binding ridiculous things like Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Meta-F8 to every little action.

Are you guys idiots?!!! Do you comprehend the flood of juvinile crap postings that you've unleashed with this story?!!! Jesus H Crist on a pogo stick and his black bastard brother Bart!!!

Ok, just to get the trolls on a roll, just imagine the damage being tricked into clicking a link like gatse.ms could cause!

Not to mention if some SA refugee lured you into clicking on gatse.ms/giver.jpg !!!
