Blackberry Patents Show off Strange Keyboard Layouts

The picture says it all. These patents showed up yesterday and I have to say: if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. The keyboard on the current generation Blackberry models is perfectly fine and these patented ideas are a bit too whacky for today’s business tycoon.

Sony and Apple Join Forces with the “WalkPod”

This is obviously a joke, and this iPod won’t actually play cassettes, but it’s worth posting just for the writeup about the “WalkPod.” Sony expects to sell “hundreds” of these devices within the first year, effectively doubling their music player sales. Burned. Say No to Crack [via UberReview]

A malfunctioning Dell laptop caused a man’s house to burn down. Yup, some dude in Maine found out that his Dell Inspiron 1200 started a fire while he was at work. Even though the guy lost pretty much everything, calling it a “total loss,” Dell’s oh-so-helpful representatives have so far refused to take any action.…

D-Wave Quantum Computer to Span Multiple Universes Next Tuesday?

Propellerheads at D-Wave are saying they’ve developed the world’s first quantum computer, and the wild thing is they say they’re going to show it actually working next Tuesday. Hey, wait a minute. This first foray into the strange-but-maybe-true world of quantum mechanics wasn’t expected by scientists until 20 years from now. It will allegedly take…

EMI Group, one of the European labels that his Steveness called out in his missive, looks to be taking up his suggestion to offer DRM-free music.

Astuter Computer Revue

However, I did find a little gem of a song that was featured in the Communicore exhibit for just a few short years. The song is called The Computer Song and…
