Don't just get it clean – get it Cyber Clean!
If your keyboard is forever full of the, er, by-products of the working day, perhaps you might be interested in giving it a thorough Cyber Clean.

The Harpejji: Piano meets guitar meets hefty price tag
As a keyboard player who’d love to also be able to play the guitar, but can’t, this new instrument appeals to me.
The Harpejji takes the best characteristics of a guitar, and the same of a keyboard instrument, and combines them.

Yes, I said working keyboard. It’s obviously not going to be as good quality as your Logitech sitting in front of you,…
RIM patent for vaguely different slider phone, new BlackBerries coming?
I get a bit cheesed off with the number of technology patents being filed, with seemingly small variations on a similar theme.
Take the latest from Research In Motion, makers of the BlackBerry, which details a “Hybrid Portrait-Landscape Handheld Device With Trackball Navigation and Qwerty Hideaway Keyboard”.

Woop!

Wolfking Warrior Xxtreme keyboard is just scary
Yikes! I haven’t been this afeared of a keyboard since the time I saw that health & safety video about exactly how many nasty bacteria are lurking under my QWERTY keys. Not that bacteria would even dare venture onto Wolfking’s Warrior Xxtreme keyboard, which is pictured above.
