I'be been seeing this thing all over the internet lately and I have to say, it looks SWEET! Basically each key on the board has a little screen under it that can display pictures for what ever shortcut you want. Think of the possibilites! And I heard that you can customize the pictures for whatever application you might be doing, so you can be playing Doom 3 on and than switch to Photoshop and the keyboard will change with you.

BitTorrent Whiz Extolled Piracy? - Wired

Hmmmm... bad news for BitTorrent. Apperently someone found evidence that the creator of BitTorrent, Brian Cohen, had created BitTorrent for digital piracy, but Brian said he wrote that years a go as a parody of the Cypherpunk's Manifesto.

Google Video Search

2005-06-29T13:59:00.000-07:00

Google has released their new Google Video Viewer that allows you to view certain videos on Google Video Search (beta). I've tried it out it works pretty good. The videos play exetremely well and the quality is pretty good from what I saw. All you need is to download the video viewer and it will install it self in IE and Firefox. Than you can view videos on Google Video. However, you can't watch all videos you find. Only the ones people submit, so that's too bad. Any ways you try it out! It's pretty cool. Also, I heard a certain Jon Lech Johansen has hacked Google Video Viewer so it can play videos hosted on any server.

These things may look like ordinary Hot Wheels cars, but there not. They're "lineriders". Judging from there description they sound awesome. They are little cars that drive where ever you draw and react to different patterns. If these things ever make it to production I'm definitely going to get one.

I've never seen anything quite like it before, but it looks amazing from the video. Your probably wondering what the heck it is right now so let me tell you. It is a radio controlled boat/car/airplane. Yup, this thing can fly, drive, and swim. Currently, it's not available for the general public but the inventor's web site says it will in the near future. But for now you can check out the video of it in action.

Here is the video.
