Gadgets Optimus Tactus by Artemy Lebedev is a unique keyboard concept that has no physical keys. In fact this keyboard is a display and any its part can be programmed to perform any function or to display whatever you wish.
The Optinus Tactus keyboard is very comfortable to use. Apart from its basic function, it can be used as an additional display. The keyboard supports a great variety of characters, even rare ones such as such as Ancient Greek, Georian, Arabic and many others. The only disadvantage of the device is that the user is very likely to lack tactile sensations while typing, however, most likely, the user will get used to such unusual typing very soon.

We’re not quite to the point where everybody has a 3D printer sitting on their desktop, spewing out conceptual widgets and free energy devices, but by golly if we aren’t getting close. The ZPrinter 350 from Z Corporation is the latest, a (relatively) compact machine that uses easy snap-in cartridges of material and automatically recycles any waste created during production. It sports a 300 x 450 dpi resolution, can create objects that are up to 8 x 10 x 8-inches, and while its printing speed doesn’t exactly seem blazing (just .8-inch per hour vertically), that’s apparently the fastest on the market. All that for only $25,900! We can’t wait to see what Steorn will create with theirs.

Gadgets If you are like me, I spend a lot of time dialing into conference calls from my iPhone. Sometimes it would be nice to pre-program the conference bridge number along with the pin number and save that information as a contact. When you dial a conference number, you need to have a pause before you enter your pin number. By the way, the same rule applies if you are using a calling card or any other process where you need to add additional digits after you dial a number. To enter a pause, you would use a comma. The problem is that the keypad on the iPhone does not have a comma. So I decided to figure out a way in which to configure a number and paste it to my keypad and then save it to my contacts using the notepad on the iPhone.
