BrainkBank: I Buy Magic Edition

Well how about that! I just found out at about six o'clock that the company iBuyPower, a boutique similar to the Alienware of old that sells monstrously powerful gaming laptops and desktops, has actually taken some steps to leverage the capabilities of their new line of multi-touch enabled laptops.

They've made available for free a propriety bit of software that automagically makes games previously incapable of reading multitouch gestures work pretty well with them, with various gestures taking the place of panning, button functions, etc.

Questionably useful? Perhaps. Unquestionably cool? Most definitely. I'm most impressed at a high-end hardware company out-of-the-blue laying down software that actually makes their questionably-included expensive technology seem useful for the purpose of the gaming machine. Props to iBuyPower. Check it out:
