One-Thumb Keyboard

pagercam2 writes "As Japanese teens are so used to typing one another messages on their cellphones, they are now more comfortable with one thumb typing than the old two handed QWERTY. So a Japanese company has come out with a one-thumb keypad that allows a user to enter alphanumberic text and control the mouse with only one thumb. Sort of a cross between a TV remote and a phone keypad, with a USB connection, although wireless seems to be an obvious next step. Maybe not a revolution for the desktop, but this could advance data input on handhelds." Pictures transcend language barriers.

    Oh fuck off retard.

    I have been to japan, its nice. Some of the problems you state exist, but America, despite the obvious need for you to wank off incessently to all the patriot propaganda you are being spoon fed, is a pile of shit, and currently going to hell in a handbasket.

    But whatever, you would have no clue since your too busy being "wild and crazy". More like being a cesspool brained fucktard.

    Who gives a flying fuck if you can drive 100mph?

    Next time instead of responding to me, you might wanna Google the word: Xenophobia.

    IDIOT.
