We Want This: Optimus Maximus

sarahintampa — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:47:00 GMT

You've heard us drool over the Optimus Maximus keyboard before, but here we go again. Fav geek retailer ThinkGeek has just added a new video on YouTube to taunt us with the awesomeness of the programmable OLED keyboard so we'll remember to go buy it on their site. It's only $1589.99, no big deal. The video shows the software used to program, the keys changing to CAPS and back, cool animated icons on the keys, and more. And isn't that music they play in the background just so...appropriate?

The unseen Microsoft

I first learned about the Microsoft embedded department at The Imagine Cup. It's a category that seemed half software design and half hardware design- in fact it confused many outsiders. However, once we caught on, it was easily one of the most interesting aspects of the competition. So...continuing my love of all things "embedded"-I visited their home base here in Redmond to see what new and exciting toys they had coming down the pike. Good stuff.

Let's go surfin' now...

Here's a little fun for your Friday- not that Fridays aren't already fun because they are, I mean, they're Fridays. Fridays are inherently fun, hence the phrase "TGIF". Anyway, moving right along (pun intended)...first there was the Moped, then the Segway and now...the WheelSurf. Surfs up.

Star Wars series Mimoco flash drives begin with Vader

Contrary to the promise of our friends from Stanford, the network doesn’t always give us what we need. Almost daily we find a need for some quick handheld digital storage, and naturally rather than the generic branded swag, we want have something cute/geeky. Mimoco has a great track record for providing such adorable flash drives, but now they’ve really upped the ante.

Starting with everyone’s favorite Dark Lord of the Sith, Mimoco presents their Star Wars series flash drives. As with their previous offerings, Vader is available in 1GB ($US80), 2GB ($US120), and 4GB ($US170) capacities. Even better is this Jedi of file sharing is the first of four in the series. Go and preorder Anakin now, and he’ll help you usher in 2007 in style.
