Hitachi Minority Report UI

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • UI designers aren't going to relax until they perfect the 'Minority Report' interface, and the latest gestural attempt from Hitachi lets users swing their hands around without the need for silly gloves. [From: YouTube]
  • Urlesque rounds up the first post from 12 popular sites, ranging from YouTube and CuteOverload to BoingBoing and Kottke. [From: Urlresque]
  • Yesterday's release of 'StarCraft II' pretty much ensures that millions won't leave their homes until around late August, so you'll want to keep yourself fresh with a break or two from the Zerg rushes. One enthusiast put together an insanely detailed LEGO-themed 'StarCraft' stop-motion video. [From: YouTube]
  • FunnyTranslator.com runs your text through over 58 supported languages and back to English in a Web 2.0 version of 'Telephone.' [From: FunnyTranslator]
