Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes, from the standard ten dollar gray board to something straight out of a science fiction movie. Here’s a list of some of the coolest and strangest keyboards out there. The WristPC Keyboard: This keyboard is designed for “portable and wearable” computer applications, whatever that means. The Comfort Keyboard: This ergonomic keyboard can be split into three separate sections, supposedly for added comfort. It also features key reprogramming and a programmable “rest period indicator.” Orbitouch keyless keyboard: This one is a little hard to explain.

"People will increasingly interact with computers using speech or touch screens rather than keyboards". That's according to Bill Gates who blurted out this interesting piece of tech news in one of his recent talks.

Stpales is working with Seagate Recovery to get data off your dead devices (via). Now that’s pretty interesting - data recovery always seemed like something mysterious and only for the super important - you find some company and ship your drive to them and they figure it all out for you. Having it all within walking (or driving for you non-new yorkers) distance makes it accessible to everyone. I know there’s a few times in my day where I could’ve used something like this and I’m glad to know it’s around now! And next time you have keyboard recovery needs (like when I hated my Apple keyboard) you might consult this list of the 22 best keyboards. Although, honestly? You might not. You know there’s going to be a problem when the #1 keyboard is the new Apple Keyboard. You may also take issue with the fact that the Happy Hacking Keyboard (this person’s keyboard of choice), only shows up as the limited edition version that costs $4400. I am positive

Everywhere you go in the world today you’ll find a keyboard in the family QWERTY layout. Except in France. That’s because the French style keyboard that was developed by Dvorak is a second generation keyboard design. Way back in the early days of typewriters, the keys jammed frequently and to solve this problem the manufacturers adopted the now familiar QWERTY layout to slow down the speed of the earliest typists. Although the early problems were solved quickly enough, the design stuck across the world despite all attempts to update it with a more logical layout. Meanwhile though in France, Dvorak came along after those initial problems were solved and developed a keyboard layout which equally balances the workload across both hands and thereby considerably speeds up typing. However, although it would obviously be a doddle to change over to that layout these days by simply changing the keys around and using a different driver, I suspect that we’ll be stuck with QWERTY

By: maxwell Rubin The keyboard is among the most underappreciated and taken for granted component of the Personal Computer (PC) that we use everyday. We are all creatures of habit.

By Emma Martin With the advanced complications in World of Warcraft gaming, it is no question that choosing the appropriate keyboard is important. As a gamer, you do not want to run into any inconveniences that may arise due to not being properly equipped with the most updated technology. Several aspects of the game require advanced control features, thus making it absolutely necessary to invest in a compatible gaming keyboard.Fortunately, various companies have made it convenient for World of Warcraft gamers to select an appropriate keyboard model. Even more surprising is the fact that some companies have even made specifically-designed keysets that are not only compatible with World of Warcraft, but are decorated with the theme of the game as well. For instance, Ideazon has a customized World of Warcraft keyset that lays on top of the keyboard to enhance your gaming experience. The advanced keypads make chatting, battling, and casting spells easier than ever. Among the many features

Nearly everything from Apple is easy to look at, and even desirable. If not, they wouldn't have sold over a 100 million iPods by now. Alongside the new iMacs, Apple has also rolled out Aluminum Keyboards that come in a wired and wireless version. These keyboards feature low-profile keys similar to those found on the MacBook, in addition to dedicated function keys packed into a stunningly slim design. The wired version comes with the added advantage of a numeric keypad, while the wireless version relies on Bluetooth instead of radio frequency. Pricing starts from $50 upwards to $70 for the wireless version.(Via UberGizmo, the Gadgets News Blog.)

I have decided that this is the theme of today's episode. Friendship. (and cement keyboards too because that is important)Spinelli's scenes with Sonny. Boy has Sonny been hard on sweet Spinelli the past few days. I really laughed though much of it though. Bradford did such an amazing job through the whole scene. Poor Spinelli was so scared. Then after when Jason found Spinelli asleep on the couch. how cute was that. Hugging his computer. I loved how Jason was loud after he has already seen Spinelli so Spinelli would not think that Jason saw him so 'vulnerable'.I really prefer orange soda."Mr Corinthos has ways of making people talk and I think they all hurt!"Then .. then.. Lets get to the Spinlu scene at the end. Oh gosh that was beautiful. Spinelli didn't probe. He said the thing she needed the most. He was there when Lulu needed him the most.She looked so safe that very moment.http://bradfordanderson.net/

The internet is a wondrous place. You can visit far off places without leaving your front door. You can make friends. You can also unearth enemies. It is a double-edged sword. Use it well and it can be an invaluable tool, but handle it with caution. Many people have been burnt by it as well. I’m slightly bemused by all the fuss generated by, what I would call, the “anagram fiasco” that a fellow blogger had experienced. Talk of cryptology and rumours and daggers being flung across the internet. Well, maybe not as severe as that, but there was (or still is) lots of unhappiness felt by those concerned. When one is sitting in front of the computer, the keyboard is mightier than the sword in this day and age. It also makes one a lion when one is in fact, a cowardly mouse. The use of a fake persona and names to hide one’s identity has made it easier for some to use (sometimes abuse) the power of the internet for their own purposes, whatever that may be. Good bloggers,

Don't get me wrong, there's been plenty of things to write about today, but I've been very busy.So I just had to go and pick the tackiest thing of the bunch. Ubergizmo noticed some truly hideous designs over at CES, and posted a few of them on their blog. Admittedly, I'm rather fond of the one below, but the sequin studded 'girly keyboard', the tacky plastic 'camouflage keyboard' and the plastic wood keyboard really did fail to impress.No word on who made these yet though, just a handful of 'creative Chinese designers'. Go figure...
