- Much improved, but...
It took me several days to get used to the new keyboard from Apple, but I have to say that it's a pleasure to type on compared to the old clunker. Light, short throw keys have increased my typing speed and decreased necessary keystroke pressure. On the old keyboards, I felt like I had to punch them down, but this new design is effortless - so much so that for a couple days I was making all kinds of errors. But once I lightened up, speed and accuracy went way up, and finger fatigue went way down. Overall, a much improved experience.

There are only two drawbacks that I see - first is the caps lock key, which, because it's so easy to touch, takes a more deliberate tap to engage. I think it's intentionally not quite as sensitive as the rest of the keys - to prevent accidental SHOUTING - and that takes some getting used to. Secondly, I'm still not quite used to the re-arranged function keys - the volume, disk eject and iTunes control keys are in different spots, and I still have to look to see where they are when I use them - that'll solve itself in time, though. I don't miss the tilt feature at all - tilting the BACK of the keyboard UP was always a mistake, from a comfort point of view, so the lower profile, flatter layout is actually a big improvement.

The only thing I have to wait and see on is how durable this thing is, and how well it resists all my efforts to sandwich crumb and coffee drip it to death (the usual fate of my keyboards). And one sad note: where's the apple logo on the Command key? I hope they bring that back.

- The perfect keyboard (at least for me)
I really, really like this keyboard - it suits my typing style much better than Apple's old keyboard (I also liked my powerbook keyboard better, which is similar in travel depth and overall feel to the new one). Add to that the cool new look and you have what is to me the best keyboard I've used, hands down. Now, others who actually learned how to properly type on a traditional keyboard might not come to the same conclusion, so better go test at an Apple store before you order.

- Great Keyboard!!
I have a macbook pro, 15", and this totally improved my computing way of life.

I am a composer, and needed more room, plus the number pad, for use with Finale. After researching number pads that stand alone, I decided that a whole new keyboard was necessary. This keyboard is extremely low-profile, so it doesn't get in the way. The buttons are very smooth responding, and feel good in the hands. Very comfortable and quiet. And of course, no problems plugging in and going to town, like your computer had it attached the entire time.

This keyboard totally makes my pro feel like a desktop, which is great because I have the portability when I need it, and the comfort of a desktop for those long hours composing.

Thank you Apple!!!!

I wouldn't see it being any other way!!!

- Stylish, Solid, Responsive
I bought this keyboard to replace my old keyboard from my G5 keyboard. I can see how some people relate the feel to that of a laptop, the keys are alot like that of a laptop top... but because the are spaced apart much much further than that of a laptop it really makes up for it. I actually prefer this keyboard to both my G5 and logitech G11 gaming keyboard. The keys are sooooo much more responsive than my G5.

Pros.
- Sturdy metal construction
- Heavy for its size
- Responsive keys
- The Addition of new labels and new keys
- Very apple, Very Stylish

Cons.
- Keys are not raised enough

- Not for typing...
I was very much looking forward to getting this keyboard because I missed the number pad, the HOME, END, forward DELETE, etc. on the keyboard that came with my iMac. It really is a nice keyboard, nice touch, great option keys across the top, lightweight and portable. But the space bar just didn't respond. I'd have to type one word at a time and make it a point to press the space bar between words. TOO FRUSTRATING! If you plan on doing any amount of typing, this is definitely not the keyboard for you.

Wee-Fi: Virgin America Formal Launch, Heathrow Coach-Fi, Laptop Recovery

Virgin America formally launches: Last week, Virgin America offered free Wi-Fi on its single Internet-equipped aircraft, My Other Ride's a Spaceship. Today, the service goes commercial ($10 for flights 3 hours or shorter; $13 for longer flights), and the rollout to other planes begins. Virgin has a special URL--http://wifitracker.virginamerica.com/--that takes you to a tracking page showing which flights in progress have Wi-Fi, but they don't yet tell you how to determine whether a given flight you'll be on will offer the service. With 24 planes and a plan to add service one per week, that shouldn't be a problem for long.

Heathrow Airport Coach Link adds Internet service: Icomera, a leading transportation Wi-Fi firm, has added free Wi-Fi to FirstGroup's RailAir coach service that connects Heathrow Airport with Reading in England. RailAir runs every 20 minutes for a 50-minute route. FirstGroup handles 3 million passengers a day across all its routes, which makes it a plum market for future expansion.

Awareness Technologies adds Wi-Fi positioning for laptop recovery: Awareness is the latest firm to partner with Skyhook Wireless to use Wi-Fi positioning to its products, in this case Laptop Cop, software designed to aid in recovery. The software starts at $50 for a 1-year license, with discounts for quantity.

How to Use Neuroscience to Become Your Avatar

Watching video through virtual-reality goggles of a mannequin's body while you look down at your own can trick your brain into believing the mannequin's body is yours. Swedish neuroscientists find that threatening the mannequin's body with a knife caused a physiological response in the person watching the video, indicating they have taken psychological ownership of the other body.

The war to end all wars...

It wasn't a Merry Christmas A few years ago while visiting friends in Germany, we made a trek to Verdun, France. As an American, I had no clue as to what was there other than it was an old city dating to the (Pre)- Roman era.
I was shocked and humbled to what I saw. The greatest battle (possibly in the history of modern warfare) was at the very place I was walking.
At the Douaumont Ossuaire, we video taped our tramping about. Below the bldg, there are windows that peer into...what to call it? A giant room filled to the top with bones and skulls. I taped for a few minutes and then felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. I was looking at 130,000+ forgotten warriors. I shut of the camera and destoyed the tape. This month, please take a moment to remember the fallen. My respect to those who died. As an American. Previosly.
