As you may remember from our series on common usability terms, I have a lot of interest in graphical user interface concepts. In addition, I applaud anyone trying to improve existing concepts, people that try to think beyond set conventions to come up with an improved version of that concept, or a new concept altogether. Thorsten Wilms took on the well-established concept of the scrollbar, and came up with a few interesting tweaks.

I don't think you understand how scrolling works on most touchpads. You move your finger along the right physical border up and down and it's exactly like a scroll wheel, just flat and without tactile feedback.
[edit]
To make it clearer, here's a demo of stand-alone, probably Synaptics based (like in most notebooks, including Apple ones) touchpad and some common possible gestures.
