Misc.

Gerhard Reitmayr of Cambridge (the original one) and his colleagues Ethan Eade and Tom Drummond have come up with a nice way to augment maps. Nice techie details ...

Now here's a product one hopes will become common at internet cafes everywhere (yeah right) A keyboard that has additional keys that change the key layout. Errmm... you say, wot's new with that? That's just software, right? Nope. The whole frickin' keyboard changes. (I really ought to get back to being a regular /.er - I was two days behind on this one.) They have a nice FAQ too. Though they don't say, when they say it will cost less than a cellphone, which cellphone.

If I had any iota of determination, I'd become a regular here.
