Multi-touch screens for the rest of us, what causes 'electrosensitivity'?, why CDs are getting louder, digital cinema, whose iPhone? and much more

This week's print edition of the Technology supplement is online too..

• The hands-on revolution
  The mouse and keyboard are getting old - but new touch-sensitive screens could give us a whole new way to work with computers. Charles Arthur reports.
• Electrosmog in the clear with scientists
  Studies show that it's not mobile phones and electric fields making people ill - so what is the cause of 'electrosensitivity'?
• Statistics are free - now let's work on the rest of the data
  Government proposals to clean up the reputation of official figures on crime and hospital waiting lists have been criticised this week by watchdogs and data users.
• Games aren't just for geeks - they're an art form, too
  Aleks Krotoski: I'm gearing up for a slap. No, I've not been boasting about my unbeatable record in multiplayer Advance Wars DS again. I'm going to make a controversial claim that my fellow gamesblogger Keith adamantly - and violently, according to last week's column - believes is false.
• Games
  Phantasy Star Universe | Lost Planet | Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
• Newly Asked Questions
  • Will Apple's new gizmo really go on sale as the 'iPhone'?
    If it reaches a court, even a judge might have to flip a coin on this one.
  • What is this new service called Joost all about?
    It's the out-of-alpha-into-beta form of the Venice Project. Still bemused? The Venice Project was a cool codename for an online television system, and in reality came from a hotel conference room: not one Cornetto required.
• Read me first
  We are too busy with computers to be organised by computers, says Andrew Brown.
• The iPhone is not as clever as Steve thinks
  Victor Keegan: In terms of free publicity for a product that won't be available for six months - and then only in America - Steve Jobs's unveiling of the iPhone last week was almost without precedent.
• Technobile
  Wendy M Grossman: When something breaks the internet, there's no way of telling anybody. Mostly you just have to wait it out.
• How CDs are remastering the art of noise
  Albums are getting louder and the sound quality is suffering. Audiophiles and engineers despair of the trend, but who is driving it?
• Joined-up government is not inevitable or desirable
  Michael Cross: Sometimes you have to feel sorry for the government. As one set of civil servants, the Home Office, is fed into the mincer for failing to join up its databases, another, the Cabinet Office, gets a roasting for proposing too much synchronicity.
• Celluloid dreams set to disappear in a digital puff
  Before long film will be but a memory at your local cinema as reel projectors are replaced with newer, sharper digital systems.
