I just played with the Clear todo app and I love the gestures. The only thing I missed was UNDO by shaking the device.

Get the app on the app store: http://itunes.com/apps/clear

1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello, world" into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization.

It's a prototype demo, but some gestures are really nice. I'm not really sure what will be the right gesture to turn multiple pages, but I kindof like the very simple one where you slide with 2, 3 or four fingers to turn 2,3 or 4 pages respectively.

• Every meeting must have one clear decision maker. If there's no decision maker -- or no decision to be made -- the meeting shouldn't happen.

• No more than 10 people should attend.

• Every person should give input, otherwise they shouldn't be there.

• No decision should ever wait for a meeting. If a meeting absolutely has to happen before a decision should be made, then the meeting should be scheduled immediately.

My former flatmate, fellow student at HPI and now Googler Martin Probst clarified:

@rmetzler +no devices (laptops, mobiles), but there are presentations in front of more than 10 (but it's a presentation then!).

Whoever picks up their phone is footing the bill.
