Apple Files for OLED Keyboard Patent

pegdhcp writes to mention that Apple has applied for a patent on a 'dynamically controlled keyboard' with OLED keys. This may seem remarkably familiar, since an OLED keyboard has been bandied about by Art Lebedev studios for quite a while now. "while the Optimus Maximus is a bit expensive, Apple could certainly mass-produce something similar for less money, perhaps bringing the price into reality for most users. Lebedev has, however, apparently applied for several patents for the Optimus, so it's unclear just what Apple is up to, or what would happen if the company were ever to release such a product."

I know it's sort of trollish, but this is actually a pretty damn funny post, and is actually sort of about trolls and not directly trolling. On that same note, while I missed the slashdot party (kicks self), I thought it would be pretty great to be a troll AT THE PARTY.

Me: FIRST NIGGER!!!! I LOVE FRIED CHIKKIN!
Host: Erm...
Me: Apple shit! FUCK slashdot.
Host: Uh, sir, this is inappropriate...
Me: Oh, I'm sorry. Sometimes I suffer from tourettes.
