The toughest keyboards ever – Perfect for smashing against the floor

World's toughest keyboard

I don’t know about you, but I have friends that call themselves “gamers”. Yes, passionate gamers that take the gameplay seriously, and literally hit their keyboards and mice with anger when they’re losing, a match, a race or a fight. Personally, I have a friend that switches at least one keyboard a month because of his FIFA addiction.

After a quick look, I present you the toughest keyboards around. They’re protected against atmosphere dust, and have a quite compact (360.0 x 117.6 x 38.5mm) design. Not only that it filters dust, but it’s also waterproof with the help of a special seal that keeps unwanted liquids out of them.

There are several models, including trackballs if you like. If you’re going to browse a bit, I’m sure you’ll find something at your liking. The company that distributes them is called Storm Interface.

I really liked the idea. You can calm down while taking out on your keyboard, and you get to use it afterwards too.

However, the important aspect (actually the first question that hit me at the end) is the price of this gadget. Should you want to find that out, you will have to e-mail the producers and ask.

World’s smallest PC

It’s only 2x2x2.2 inch! It’s called the Space Cube and it’s supposed to be the smallest personal computer in the world. It has a built-in 300MhZ processor and it’s also equipped with 64MB of SDRAM. There are a bunch of ports visible in the picture, such as USB, Ethernet, Flash memory, a monitor output port, serial connection and even a microphone slot.

The monitor is capable of displaying up to 65k colors at a resolution of 1280×1024 pixels. Less than a year ago, this fancy piece of equipment was retailing ~$325/piece. Isn’t that cool?

Supposing I’d posses ten of these beauties, I would be running a LAN party from a small cardboard box ;)

Apple Computers Inc. is now Apple Inc.

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

“The first 30 years were just the beginning. Welcome to 2007”.

After looking into yesterday’s keynote and saw what’s Apple preparing, I find the above mentioned slogan nothing but truth. After all, every company that wishes to survive on the IT market has to evolve.

Let’s leave behind the iPhone, the Apple TV and all the rest and concentrate on the name change instead. “What name change?” Well, some might say it’s not that big, since Apple is still Apple, but if we look closer, a change from “Apple Computer, Inc.” to “Apple Inc.” is not something to overlook. “Why, are they going to stop manufacturing computers?”, some may ask. No, of course not!

That name change isn’t just a strange idea of Steve Jobs. Apple started as a company that started from manufacturing computers, and ended up 30 years later with many other consumer electronics, including iPhone, Apple TV and many many others. Now, wouldn’t Apple Computers be inappropriate?

Analysts say that the iPhone will conquer 1% of the total number of cellphones worldwide by 2008. That’s 10 million phones, if you might wonder.

Overall, I don’t think there will be someone to complain about the name change. It’s just a new start for an experienced corporation.

Microsoft Staff 1978

That is a photo taken on December 7th, 1978 and it represents the Microsoft staff. In case you’re wondering, Bill Gates is located in the lower left corner of the picture. The rest of them are as it follows, left to right.

Top row: Steve Wood, Bob Wallace, Jim Lane.
Middle row: Bob O’Rear, Bob Greenberg, Marc McDonald, Gordon Letwin.
Bottom row: Bill Gates, Andrea Lewis, Marla Wood, Paul Allen.

Who would have thought those geek-ish people would help Microsoft become the great corporation it is today?

I strongly believe in computer personalization. Tag your computer to reflect your personality and your attitude. Since the first thing you see when you turn on your computer is your desktop, start with a nice, beautiful high-resolution wallpaper.

Personally I’ve been always having issues in finding a decent wallpaper via any search engine, especially when I bought a 21″ LCD and I was using a 1600×1200 screen resolution. Therefore, I took the liberty of browsing the web and gathered a few websites that just WORTH adding to your search list when looking for a trendy wallpaper.

How interactive can a video game get?

I’ve asked myself that question after watching a report on the damages caused by Nintendo Wii’s straps, but that’s not important. Have you noticed that the arcade games and consoles tend to get more user interactive as time passes? I believe that’s a good thing since people like you and me will rise our butts from the comfy chair and move in order to play. It all started on the old Nintendo consoles when you were going Duck hunting or shooting people in the Wild West. You were carrying a gun that you were pointing to the TV in order to reach the goal. How many of you still remember that? Those were the early years.
