keyboard made of glass

Fabulous concept design from Kong Fanwen, a glass keyboard fitted with lights and camera. You can click the keys and type in traditional fashion, or you can let your fingers float across the surface and allow the in-built sensors to judge your keystrokes. Amazing idea. Would love to see it in action… more details



Resistance is futile

Excerpt from a classic WTF!? daily

The young tech was aware of all of the red tape and approvals that were required for most changes, but this was different. It was a BIOS error that required a single keystroke to clear, and he couldn’t imagine anyone having a problem with it. He tried to cautiously argue his point without denigrating The Process. “Well, the change request does say that we’re responsible for rebooting the computer. Surely pressing F1 falls under that… and regardless—”

“NO,” the senior tech emphatically interrupted. “I just said that we’re not authorized for this! You think that it’s safe to just make The Process up as you go? Without The Process, we have nothing. The Process Be Praised!”

Meanwhile, a whole department was sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Word had trickled down that there was some sort of server error and that the HPCs were on it… full tale of misery
