Reminds me of the Old World / New World post from Steven Frank. Good stuff.

"Ever clicked on a link and had a new window (or tab) unexpectedly open? Me too. It’s a minor frustration that I think adds up over time. And sure — there are plugins and settings which can help manage this process. But the out-of-the box experience seems to be missing something to indicate whether a link will open a new window/tab, rather than simply take you to a new page. A simple solution might be a custom mouseOver cursor indicating links that will result in new tabs/windows."

"Instead, I’m eagerly anticipating development in alternate touchscreen text-entry approaches combined with the addition of better touchscreens, haptic technologies and new sets of software idioms."
