Graphics, User Interfaces We've all seen the early demos of something called "BumpTop", a sort of 3D desktop where files are presented as 3D objects with physical properties. Recently, the project moved from concept to product with the release of BumpTop 1.0. The big question now is: are we dealing with the next big thing in desktop computing, or just a gimmick?

personally I love the thing. I am kind of a cluttered person and the way my brain works my orginization is different that what most would call "standard." My den/office/workspace is a total mess, but I know where everything is in it. Bumptop makes it feel a little bit more like a living environment and less like a desktop interface. Is it a juge productivity booster? no. But it is a refreshing change from the "same old thing" we see every day. I give it a 5 out of 5.
