I don't think I'll ever understand why people consider noisiness in a keyboard to be a feature. I consider it to be a bug. It's distracting when people around you are trying to concentrate. It's annoying and inconsiderate. I shouldn't have to wear earplugs around you just to get my work done.

I'll gladly turn in my geek card if it means I can get some peace and quiet while I work. Have fun with your nostalgia on your own time; please don't force me to partake of it, too.

It uses "not new" technology to select words with 50% accuracy from a list such as "yes" and "no"...really. (Okay, it hits 90% accuracy with only two items and goes down to 48% with 10.)

In other news, you can use P300 responses picked up with a $300 off-the-shelf over-the-hair EEG receiver to select from a grid of visual stimuli at a pretty good rate and with something like 95%+ accuracy (presumably nearly 100% with the sort of training that goes into touchscreen or voice activated interfaces). Those items can be letters, words, pictures...whatever. Anything quickly recognizable. Congrats guys, you just invented a crappy version of something I can buy for $300 which requires cutting open the person's skull and implanting things on the surface of their brain.

FYI, to whoever funded this, please give the lab I work at the grant monies next time. We'll make much better use of it.
