I know this one.
I'll let others guess.
I found this ot be an interesting experiment. I got acustomed to the non-click feature quite quick. All thought, clicking was the first thing I did because it said "Don't click". I'll be watching the site to see what conclutions they get out of it.

| A right-handed user is known to be within 10 pixels of the exact center of a large, 1600 X 1200 screen. You will place a single-pixel target on the screen that the user must point to exactly. List the five pixel locations on the screen that the user can access fastest. For extra credit, list them in order from fastest to slowest access. |

OK, since I don't have any takers here's the answer.
1) The pixel immediately at the current cursor location: Click the mouse and you're done.
1) The bottom-right corner.
2) The top-left corner.
3) The top-right corner.
4) The bottom-left corner.

I can see some practical uses for a "click-less" interface, more of a vertical market type thing (To use a catch-phrase). Presentation based software might be a good example. Have you ever tried to add different paths, each link requiring a click, while using one of those annoying wire-less trigger mice? I can't seem to get the hang of it no matter how many times I use one. A clickless interface might be usefull there. I can also see possibly coding a second interface for users who might find it difficult to use a standard mouse due to limited dexterity or other physical issues.
As for my personal opinion - it's neat, but not terribly useable. I wouldn't use it except for the aforementioned examples.
