1) I haven't seen one yet. Not on the BART, not in the bars, not on the streets, not around work. Is it out ? 2) All of the ads I have seen show people using phones so obsessively interesting that they miss out on some real life around them. Microsoft promises to make a phone that doesn't grab the attention of the user the same way. How many people are really looking for a less interesting phone ?

Well, the lights are there so I get to cross the street right ? I am going to cross the street. Waiting until the commute is over and the street is empty is not an option. Okay, you still with me. The cars have the choice, slow down, or stop and wait for a full light cycle. I'm crossing the street either way. The total time for everyone involved is less if we keep the lights out of this.

If you WERE PAYING ATTENTION, you WOULD SEE ME. The reason drivers don't make eye contact is because they are not paying attention. Any driver paying attention would notice people near the street waiting to cross.

My close door button works as expected. There is a sensor in the doors, wave hand to trigger sensor . . . hit close door button, doors close immediately. Without triggering the sensor that tells the elevator passengers have entered or exited the car, the button does nothing. So, if I get on the elevator and hit the button, the doors close immediately. If someone exits and I Hit the button, the doors close immediately. If the elevator stops at an empty floor, I can wave my hand to trigger the sensor and hit the button to shut the doors immediately. Its pretty obvious that we use different elevators, or we use elevators differently.

I'm the jogger. If you would have looked, made eye contact, and given me the right away to cross, I would not have to hit that button. I KNOW it causes you a longer wait. As soon as you learn that it is faster to yield to the pedestrian than to wait for a whole light cycle, the situation will change. As it is, you show no sign of yielding, so I hit the button.

Somebody should explain that the companies willingly let free market capitalism die. It was damn expensive having to maintain a navy to protect their trade. Once the companies let the government use their military to protect trade, there was no free market. The military, the government, and the companies were all now working together in a NOT free market. Some people want to believe the free market exists, but it does not. It has not for a long time. Belief in such a free market is a sign that no thought has been put into understanding the world. Like all religions, it requires faith, not intelligence to believe.

We should have time travel soon. I bet the iPhone5 will have an app for that.

No, you forget a lot of people do not vote, either due to apathy or age. Most Americans that vote, voted in W, only the second time. The first time he was appointed when the SCOTUS used an election kill switch to end the election.

I've re-read the OP numerous times, and I can not find any statement regarding a preference for arrow keys to be in a certain spot. These, if they materialize, are supposed to be fully programable. Buy the blank one, program and label it as desired, and enjoy a custom keyboard.

Since they are vapor ware, I don't have one at this point. I'm currently using a typematrix and like it a lot. Disclaimer, I spent 8 years on nothing but a laptop, so I have adapted to the shorter travel and feel of a laptop keyboard.

It sounds like you are looking for this. Truly Ergonomic Keyboards

They leave a trail of hormones, the shortest paths get more travelers, over time, it becomes obvious which path to use, it has the strongest scent.
