If you read MacStories or any other Apple-related blog out there, I guess you’re all big fans of the multitouch technology. You know, that little patented thing that powers your iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macbooks. Gestures, that’s how we interact with our devices nowadays. And now a group of researchers of Arizona State University is telling us that our beloved multitouch might actually lead to musculoskeletal disorders.
Could Multitouch Lead to Musculoskeletal Disorders?

DestroyTwitter 2.0 Going Live Today
Update: Destroy Twitter 2.0 is now live. Check out the new features here.
We’re not hearing too much about Tweetie 2 for the Mac, and even other clients are getting stale as we venture forward in the Twitter verse. We also haven’t heard too much out of DestroyTwitter, but the master of DestroyToday (a quick warning, there is a disturbing image on his blog if you’re squeamish) and related projects is planning to release a big update today that should bring an improved preferences canvas, improved item rendering, and an overhauled account canvas.
DestroyTwitter is a solid Adobe Air client that should be released sometime later today, or as Jonnie Hallman puts it: “It’ll be released between now and 11:59pm EST.”
We’ll likely go hands on this evening and post a review tomorrow morning.

Is This Toshiba’s Answer to the iPad?
Just as we predicted months ago, everyone wants to release its own tablet now. Apple has created a new market with the iPad (some say it has reinvented an already existing market that only needed a kickstart) and now we’re seeing tablets popping up from anywhere in the industry.
Now, Toshiba wants to release a tablet computer as well, to fight the incredible success of the iPad. They have this prototype, and they call it “Libretto” - which stands for “small book” in Italian. It doesn’t look exactly like a tablet computer, but more like a touch-enhanced netbook. It’s an interesting prototype, so let’s take a look at the specs.

2000 iMac Compared to the iPhone 4
1o years in tech are a huge amount of time. Things change in a few weeks, can you imagine the changes that can happen in 10 years? That’s why a user over at Ars Technica’s forums tried to compare the old iMac (2000) to the current iPhone.
As you can guess, it’s a strange feeling. Take a look at the specs after the break.
Microsoft Releases Windows Live Messenger for iPhone

Canabalt, Now Native on iPad
Canabalt, one of the most popular games available for the iPhone, has just been updated and it’s now a universal application that can run natively on the iPad.
The update comes with iOS 4 bug fixes and a new soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky. For those unfamiliar with Canabalt, it’s a very addictive game which features retro-pixel graphics, and you just have to run avoiding obstacles and jumping from one building to another. It’s one of my favorite games in the App Store.
Available at $2.99, free update for previous customers.
