Eee Keyboard Details Released
Details on the new Eee keyboard, previously held secret during the FCC filing, have now been made available. You can now take a look at the innards and a full spec sheet detailing exactly what is being promised. "Beneath the 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch panel (with stylus) we'll be getting Windows XP Home running on an Intel Atom N270, 945GSE / ICH7-M chipset with Broadcom AV-VD905 video decoder, 1GB of DDR2 memory, either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage, 4-hour battery, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA outputs, integrated stereo speakers and mic, 3x USB, headphone and mic jacks, and external WiFi / UWB antenna. The Eee Keyboard's on-board Ultra-Wideband (UWB) throws 720p content to your TV within a 5-meter range (10-meters for non-video transmissions) via a UWB receiver packing 2x USB ports, another mini-USB port, audio out, and HDMI."
Does this remind anyone of the Shadowrunner decks?
Maybe if I get this, Vuzix Wrap Eyewear, a neon green mohawk, and leather jacket I can start calling myself a "Decker" ;)

How hard would it be to build a cheaper version to teach kids programming?
6? Maybe 7? I don't know, what scale are we using?
"Tell me doctor, with all of your defenses, are there any provisions for an attack by killer bees?"
I suck on the bare USB cable for text input.
There is even a linux driver for me in recent kernels.
A scale from 1 to 10 with 4 being the most difficult. 7 sounds about right - More difficult than installing programming tools on a regular computer or laptop and restricting the kid's permissions, but less difficult than naturally breeding a man-bear-pig.

Parsing... parsing... ah! You said "touch type tutor." Not "touchy petutor."
I was wondering what the heck that was.
Am I the only one that just tried to picture a useful difficulty scale that peaks at 4?
And then tried to figure out which side of 4 "naturally" combining 3 different species would fall on?
Dude, if this keeps up, screens will soon have the height and width ratios of freakin' banner ads.
Just saying.
I'm not really a web designer, I just play one on the Internet.
Completely untrue. Sure, some of us are whiny, but a good percentage are also bitter and vengeful.
Ironically, picturing such a scale peaks at 5, and devising it peaks at pi and a bit.

Hey don't leave out those of us that are violent and psychotic!
So write the code yourself OSS boy. Mr. XP
Hi, Mr Troll.
Thanks, but I already have. Need anything else?
