KeyTweak

Remap the keys on any keyboard to be any key you like. This means you could change from qwerty to something else.... improve your productivty... Or could be good if you have non standard keyboard layout (eg laptops) and make them more user friendly.

Additonaly it does all this in the registry so you dont have to run the program every time.

Microsofts first original idea

Has Microsoft done the unthinkable and made something original. It like a really big PDA or a small tablet pc. It is kinda chuncky, but looks like a 10" display. But if u can play halo on it and check ur email. That would be freaking awesome. Halo is a pretty cool game, was playing it last week at HN. Makes me want to get an xbox...

[ Leaked video ]

Its called origami.

Conicidentaly Intel is going to unvail UMPC (Ulta Mobile PC) 2 days before Microsoft will unvail origami.

Origami is either the OS, unlikely, as their OS's have really crap names. Or its the actual device. Making this a pheripiaral (one of those)...

Looks like it has GPS, but I'm sure that will be only available at extra $$$

So exciting.

And then you have apple to release the iVideo (iPod video) As in a proper video player. Supposedly 4"high and widescreen. Most likely it will be touch screen as well becuase there is no way u can have a device as small as an iPod a massive screen + controls... Unless u do an origami. Then u might as well carry a laptop. or some kinda tabletMac [tMac?]

If it works like the video says it will, it would be a nice device to have instead of a full blown laptop. Especialy if u carry a few gadgets. Just bundel them all up...

Anyway, probably wont be able to buy it untill sometime next xmas 2007

Colaboration in Black and White

Drew (husband) from toothpastefordinner, has a new comic, which he is collaborating on with Nathalie (wife) who also has a daily comic. Basicly have some old time pictures with ppl in top hats etc. and the witt and charm of drew/nathalies writting. Its different, but something to keep an eye on. I think it will get better as they start doing more strips.

Transformers: 1901

Ever wondered what form your favorite Transformers would take if they existed in different eras? Wonder no more, as IDW’s new Evolutions line will look at some special out-of-continuity tales involving the Robots in Disguise. The line makes its debut in June with the four-part Hearts of Steel. In this standalone miniseries, writer Chuck Dixon and Transformers artist supreme Guido Guidi transplant the ‘bots to the Industrial Revolution, where a charismatic hammer-man named John Henry discovers that a steam drill is really an alien robot named Bumblebee. Before he can process this information, the pair are attacked by Decepticons disguised as tanks, trains and walking engines. Is this all part of a larger scheme by Starscream? And if so, will the other Autobots arrive in time to stop his nefarious plans?
