My ideal keyboard would be the general design of the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with the Cherry MX Brown switches and anti-ghosting features. Sadly, I've never found a keyboard even close. It seems that I can either have a comfortable ergonomic keyboard or one that actually works well, not both. Are there even enough people interested in a keyboard like this to have a chance of it ever being made?

That's only true for people with broad shoulders (such as myself). If you're shoulders are more narrow, a split keyboard design can actually hurt your wrists. Like anything with ergonomics, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution... sadly. What I hate being in the broad-shouldered gamer crowd is that I can either get a good mechanical gaming keyboard or an ergonomic keyboard. I've never found one that has both functions. I would love a MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 (the keyboard I'm typing this on) with the Cherry MX brown switches... no such luck. I guess there aren't enough of us to warrant making it.

That's what the suggestion of using solar panels to cover the driveway. It creates sun protection for cars parked there or anything you want to do and generates electricity at the same time.

Except that the same type of big pocket media companies have tried this exact tactic on more than one occasion and each time, the companies that dug their heels in and refused to change with the times were crushed no matter how much money or influence they threw at the problem. All they can do is slow their demise in exchange for guaranteeing their demise.

Time to join the dinosaurs and buggy whip makers.

Only on Facebook and Fox.

I must admit that I'm torn on this one. Who to cheer for? A corrupt politician or Oracle? Can we have a no-holds-barred cage match and shoot the winner in the head?

Yea, they could but, what company wants to spend 2-5 times the staff, time and money just to get the same result as your competitors. By doing it this way, their costs should be on par for development of Chrome and Safari. Mozilla is a strange duck in this arena as far as development so comparing them isn't quite right.

I agree; as long as they continue to play nice with the rest of the vendors, I'm all for them being in the race.

We're here to mourn one of our fallen heroes. Fuck you for dragging this bullshit in! I will now count you in the same category as the Westboro Baptist Church.

Are you going for a funny mod? I'm all for their current track but, that doesn't mean for a second that I trust them, just that I'll give them a chance.

When it's the next generation of them, yes. That doesn't mean they will, though. We'll have to wait and see and be wary.

All of us who know Microsoft's history in this area need to watch them carefully and make sure that none of the people we advise are caught unaware. That being said, as long as they don't pull their old behavior, I'm all for their current track.

I'm getting the impression that is why they are shipping the Spartan web browser. I've been getting the feeling that they've been having troubles coding IE to support many HTML5 features without breaking a their legacy crap. Add to that the browser is heavily integrated into the win32s code and you're in for a coding nightmare. They were never going to be able to develop for changes as fast as competing browsers with that model and they knew it. As such, this move makes the most sense given their options. As long as they stay dedicated to working with web standards, I'm all for it. I'm just going to be very wary given their history with the web.

Thanks for that... X-(

Why should we limit it to East Texas?
