with an excellent company.

"Interface-Free" Interface

I know this must have gone around and I just missed it somehow.

"Jeff Han demonstrates—for the first time publicly—his intuitive,
"interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be
manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying
levels of pressure."

Just because an interface is [arguably] easy to use, doesn't mean
it's interface free.

User Experience Design for the web and blogs.

The *Society and Information Technologies Encounter* gathers, since 2000,
businessmen, the Government, universities and citizenship to dialogue about
the advantages and challenges that Information Technologies represent for
our society.

Under the name *"In Search of the Lost Customer"*, this year's event will be
dedicated to *User Experience Design for the web and blogs*, as a means of
acknowledging these tools as key factors for establishing solid
communication between companies and organizations and the audiences these
address thorough these digital media.
