Freeware of the Moment- MultiClutch, add multi-touch to any Mac app

Our Freeware of the Moment is something that I’m pretty confident Kevin is going to go crazy with.  Reader Phil Lee sent me word about a free (donationware) utility for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro that lets you add multi-touch to any application.  As Phil put it he wanted to supercharge Firefox with multi-touch and after using MultiClutch for just a few minutes all I can say is WOW!  MultiClutch lets you define global gestures that you want available system-wide and also gestures for individual applications as you see a need.  Phil shared his Firefox configuration and it’s what I’m using:

Multiclutch_screen

This couldn’t be easier- three finger swipe down to jump to end of page in Firefox.  Rotate left to jump to the next tab on the left.  This is really sweet so give it a try if you have a new MacBook or MacBook Pro and you want to put multi-touch on everything.  :)   Note that for any event that you don’t have a special configuration the system behaves as you normally expect.  Thanks so much, Phil!
