Cool Leaf: Capacitive Mirror Keyboard

March 4, 2010

Dr. Kazuo Kawasaki, Design Diector at Minebea Co., has developed something that tickles my high-tech design bone: a capacitive mirror keyboard. Well, it can be anything really: calculators, remotes, etc. As you can see from the picture above (there are more at Minebea) the surface is waterproof. But look closer: I love that retro font.

Review: Apple’s Magic Mouse

January 18, 2010

CORD-LESS: I want to get rid of the cord attached to my mouse. All of the ports on the unibody MacBook Pro are on the left so if you want to use a mouse (and you’re right-handed) you have a long cord spanning the entire length of the chassis. Macally’s Turtle, a wonderful little mouse [...]

Huzzk Sleevie: Water Resistant Sleeve for MacBook

January 15, 2010

For some reason I want to ruggedize my fragile high-tech gadgets, especially my 17-inch MacBook Pro. I bumped into Huzzk: rubberized, inner 4-mm neoprene protection and water resistant sleeve. There are two sizes: 13-inch and 15-inch. Unfortunately none for my 17-inch. The search goes on. Source: Huzzk

iPhone + Lego = Cool

January 14, 2010

A steering wheel made of Lego for the iPhone: cool! Probably needs a few more gears and a larger steering wheel to smooth out the control but this is probably just a starting point for Lego-based augmentation of iPhone and iPod touch capabilities. Source: YouTube via AutoMotto, Autoblog

iType: iPhone Full-Sized Keyboard

January 8, 2010

Ridiculous. The whole point of the iPhone is pocketability. Add the iType full-sized keyboard and now you’ve got something the size of a MacBook. Take my advice: just take your MacBook with you. Source: Engadget

Microsoft Arc Keyboard

January 7, 2010

Though Microsoft’s Arc Keyboard isn’t display-related, I had to mention that it is quite beautiful, sexy even. I’m really surprised that this is from Microsoft! The Arc Keyboard is wireless and uses the crowded 2.4GHz band and will be available on February 21 for US$59.95. (After looking at the picture on Microsoft’s site, it doesn’t [...]

National Geographic: 1888 – 2008, Everything on HDD

December 30, 2009

National Geographic, from 1888 to 2008, on a 160GB HDD. With 100GB to spare. National Geographic seems to have done a tremendous job of compressing 120 years worth of data, pictures, videos, etc. into just 60GB. I wish I could do that. For the convenience of having everything on a HDD instead of 6 separate [...]

Nexus One: Bluetooth Car Dock

December 29, 2009

The Nexus One seems to be making the most of Bluetooth. We have the Bluetooth desktop dock and now the Bluetooth car dock according to the FCC. I’m glad Google is going this direction as a complete Bluetooth solution would get rid of a lot of cables. Source: FCC via Engadget
