I don't think you understand how a bureaucratic, top down, conservative, business oriented system works. Oh, yeah, we do. We already back in the 90s called Microsoft "maoist" for their shameless repetition of their own dogma as if it were the reality. It was actually not fun to see that moniker res...

I don't think you understand how a bureaucratic, top down, conservative, business oriented system works. Microsoft doesn't care about voting and public opinion like in a democracy.

I just got my hands on a Cherry G86, supposedly one of the better rubber domes. It's got a little touchpad on the bottom right. It actually does not feel like a membrane keyboard. More like a Cherry MX red/black cross. Although it isn't fantastically tactile, it doesn't have the unpleasant feel of s...

I do a lot of typing everyday, so being able to use word processors and keyboards and keyboard shortcuts is very important to me. I use my own keyboard layout, and to get that layout I have a pair of Access-IS keyboards that look like this AKC080 http://www.access-is.com/pdf/AKC080_Programmable_Keyb...
