That's somewhat similar to my TypeMatrix, but also a bit different. I'd like to try one.
My experience of the TypeMatrix is generally very positive. However, I find the placement of the '5' and '6' keys to be just too different from a standard keyboard, which made for a steep learning curve and ongoing difficulties switching between TypeMatrix (for my desktop) and regular (for my laptop).
Thanks, also came here to suggest an alias for 'ls -l', since that's the worst of the dvorak pinky workouts I've experienced.
On the cut/copy/paste front, I have a numeric keypad positioned on the left of my keyboard, with those commands mapped to 4/5/6, plus a heap of other commands besides. This makes mousing a two-handed activity, just as Doug Engelbart intended.
If John Travolta wears one when he's piloting his Boeing, then I'm buying.
How about 'Died Hard'?
Integration of North Korea into China might be a more plausible way of the current pickle, than would be Korean reunification.
That's considering the current alignment of the three countries, and also FWIW the lengths of their borders, and a hunch that almost no-one would be worse off than currently if this were to happen.
The way this could happen is China invites NK into the fold, with UN backing, and cuts Kim Jong Un and his pals a really sweet deal.
Feel free to point out the obvious flaws in my suggestion...
Speaking of bringing back digital watches, I really hope Apple makes rumoured device go 'beep' on the hour, every hour. Especially in the middle of the night. I really miss that.
Of course, a simple beep just won't do in this century. Think of the possibilities! It could go 'dong!' or 'cuckoo!', maybe some creepy theremin, or something you paid $2 for on iTunes.
And just think how many times you've gone longer than one hour without remembering to check Facebook. That could be a thing of the past.
Every hen has an 'egg tooth' at birth, so not really that rare. (Not easy to prove it's not from a rooster though, and not strictly a tooth.)
Chicken nipples on the other hand...
Oracle RDBMS - first commercially-available relational database with an SQL interface.
Really? Steve Jobs killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, and left his body dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen?
No wait, as Woz said:
The fact that it didn't happen is unimportant. The important thing is whether the meaning portrayed is correct.
Objection withdrawn.

Are you saying that just to be negative?
True, but the 65XE itself was still essentially just an updated Atari 800. I intentionally mentioned the latter, as a general audience is more likely to have heard of it, and it makes the lineage clearer.
Atari certainly did a lot of repacking the same old hardware. I used several XL cartridges on the XE Games System without issue. And to upgrade to a 'real' XE computer, all you needed was a disk drive.
Flight Simulator 2 was bundled and that was awesome - fly under the Golden Gate Bridge and round the Statue of Liberty, then engage in a WWI dogfight, all in 2MHz 8-bit chunkiness.
The light gun was also good for a laugh. Light guns are about the only thing I miss about CRT TVs.
Missile Command came built-in, but unfortunately didn't use the light gun.
Done reminiscing.
