That guy has one hell of a mixed Australian-American accent. Reminds me a little of Des Bishop's mad Irish-American brogue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFE_G1i-d90
Do all the Aussies in the valley end up sounding like that?

#22There are plenty of realistic applications for this! For example, controlling the reticle vs aim of a fps character, selecting units easily in an rts, selecting spells while looking around in an mmo, simulating multitouch, simulating button clicks to reduce cts symptoms ( so one hand draws, the other hand decides if you Re drawing and to what intensity by moving in and out of an intensity circle. )

#23I like how when running the demo when you mouseout of the browser and back in it adds even more cursors. Rinse and repeat for even more!
(Go back and play with it even longer: give it a good 30-60 seconds.)

#24http://youtu.be/UiLSiqyDf4Y?t=53s is that James Dyson on the left?
Looks a lot like him, but my totally amateur 1am opinion is no:
* I can't find any photos of Dyson with hair that long
* The jawline/skin folding doesn't look like Dyson's
* He doesn't look out of place next to two actors, and nearly all non-actors do.

When I moved to the bay area, I noticed that fellow Australians who had been here for more than three years sounded weirdly sort-of-American, and thought "good thing I'm going back in two years!"
I'm still here six and a half years later. I'm the guy in the video.

Hah, yeah, for Australians the US seems like something between hacker mecca and inescapable black hole.
Nice video. :)

Now I'm curious, do (or why do) Australians seem to like Australia better? Coming from a family of immigrants and being one myself I love to hear stories of what country works better for certain people and why.

This is especially useful if you're on a laptop, especially a ThinkPad with the pointing stick. If you're doing something like Photoshop, it's nice to have one pointer near the tools and another near the work surface - it makes switching tools much faster (especially if you don't know the keyboard shortcuts that well.)
