The Apple keyboards of today are great. There aren’t any more of that clunky PC type keyboard Apple seemed to offer years back. Who really wants a button that travels 4-6mm when typing one character? Of course you can spend a little more and just buy a laptop which has much better keyboards than your typical desktop keyboard.
Apple has taken the keyboard and its level of comfort to another level. Not only are the key travel distance much less but it’s very quiet as well.
Only thing I really needed to get use to was the thinnest of the product. It’s thinner than my Blackberry 8900 Curve (Javelin) and that’s quite scary how the folks at Apple managed to pull off crazy architecture like that.
I’m using the keyboard on a PC as well with Windows 7 as its operating system. With proper firmware updates the keyboard can function as if it was a Windows keyboard. I love it!

Get a load of this folks!. WikiLeaks has been getting a lot of free advertisements as of late from various news websites as well as news broadcast giant, CNN. The founder of WikiLeaks is saying his site has been getting massive hits and they can’t cope with the huge demand for these disclosures because there aren’t any one to verify the data they receive.
I think this site is amazing. For once we have a website to go to for disclosed information about many government documents which were kept secret from the people of America. Some sites were reporting that government agencies are trying to find ways to take down WikiLeaks. Oh no!, in that case read all you can before it happens. However, not all of their information is against America’s best interest.

While this post is purely by popular demand, I guess I have to feed what the people wish to read about, and that’s what I am going to do. It is known in over 40 countries in the world that the Twilight Saga film series and novel series have been a smash hit over the last few years and the franchise is still continuing. While it is on it’s last couple stems of its run the suspense of what is going to happen I believe is slowly dying down (unless they put a huge twist in the breaking down films).
I’m not a huge fan of the series myself but I have watched them all to see what the hype was about. The only thing I wanted to see was Bela turn into a vampire. I know all the women in the world are watching it because of the love-story behind this vampire vs. werewolf storyline but I frankly it has no appeal for me personally.

Hello folks, another advice article here for some people who have been asking me about monitors and what sizes are best. My answer can be all over the board here. What I mean is, it all depends on what type of work you do that will determine what type of monitor you should probably get. For example if you are an everyday internet browser that almost never uses it for anything other than emailing and browsing then any size monitor is good.
Obviously CRT monitors are obsolete nowadays as most households have switched over to LCD or LED flatscreens (which save a lot of space). Now this brings up the topic of what size and what brand. My best advice is for you to go to the store and put them side by side and compare the resolution, the color, the response time and even the style of the shell. If you are a web developer you may want a monitor that is on the bigger end of the spectrum. If you are a hardcore gamer then I suppose bigger is in most cases better.

Did anyone know HP was a heavy hitter in the display business?. Technology Review has a new report about Hewlett-Packard’s lab possibly releasing a flexible display to the market. They are working vigorously to make this happen.
It is said the technology is being developed with new materials for a more vibrant display but keeping the power usage as low as possible. We heard a lot of publicity about ‘e-paper’ over the years but the display that was CES from Qualcoom’s Mirasol has yet to showcase any process towards a product that is ready for the market. There’s no product near market yet but take this as food for thought as HP scientists are working on some cutting edge technology.
