When I wish $1,600 would legally land in my livingroom.
Optimus Maximus Keyboard
(http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/optimus_maximus.jpg)
"Yep. Time to take a second mortgage on your home or break into your kid's college fund. With the singing of angels and a ray of sunlight parting the clouds, the fabled Optimus Maximus Keyboard has descended from Russia design studio Art Lebedev like an orgasm of geekiness. As you should know by now this amazing keyboard features a tiny screen on each key... that's 113 screens in all. What can you do with these tiny screens you ask? Well each key can change it's image dynamically depending on what you doing. Hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Run Photoshop and you can set it so each hotkey has an image representing it's function. Set a key to monitor your CPU usage or display what iTunes track you are currently playing. You can make a key into a tiny clock with moving hands and play animated gif files or even quicktime movies. Of course all this futuristic technology is going to cost you a pretty penny... but we figure you'll just expense the Optimus and tout it's "incredible increased efficiency when using PowerPoint hotkeys" in your expense report summary."

Yeah, but is it silent?
I need a silent keyboard. My Kids get pounding on it and it sounds like a freaking hail storm in the house. How they can type that fast and that loud is beyond me. I keep hoping they will wear their fingers down to little stubs and quit, but nooooo. It's as bad as any torture you can imagine after a full evening of listening to it.

So for $1,600 I can replace my $69 keybord and pointing and clicking with a mouse? Sign me up!

Exactly why I don't wanna have to actually earn it. :D But even then, all good technology starts out costing enough that small communities have to band together to buy one and eventually, if successful, get sent to China to be made for $.25. :noid Give it a while.
