I have a couple of these ergo keyboards, they are some of the best that I've worked with. I have one at work and one for my home office.

I really like this design for a couple of reasons.

There is no number pad. So If you mouse right handed it brings the mouse even closer in for a more optimal position. Believe it or not, this small distance reduced quite a bit of muscle strain.
The keyboard is adjustable in arc, hight and incline. The mechanism for doing the adjustments is very sturdy and doesn't slip over time.

The key impact and feedback is a good "medium". I was originally concerned about this since I like a good bit of feedback when I type, but I've come to like it. Its a whole lot better then a lot of the soft spongy cheap keyboards out there.

The Arctic Is Leaking Methane 303

registerShift and other readers sent in news that the Arctic Ocean seabed is leaking methane. "...climate experts familiar with the new research reported in Friday's issue of the journal Science that even though it does not suggest imminent climate catastrophe, it is important because of methane's role as a greenhouse gas. Although carbon dioxide is far more abundant and persistent in the atmosphere, ton for ton atmospheric methane traps at least 25 times as much heat. ... [One scientist] estimated that annual methane emissions from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf total about seven teragrams. (A teragram is 1.1 million tons.) By some estimates, global methane emissions total about 500 teragrams a year. ...about 40 percent is natural, including the decomposition of organic materials in wetlands and frozen wetlands like permafrost."
