saw this post on /. which led to this article "Your laptop is lying to you" which writes about the indicators we see in our devices are actually manipulating us psychologically. partly agree with the laptop case (my Intel laptop provides 'time remaining' but my AMD laptop doesnt), and i believe the handphone case would hit most of us. check it out and see if your devices lied to you too ;)
saw this article entitled "The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time" on pcworld off /. did not realise there's so many interesting/confusing keyboards before the first ibm-pc keyboard that i have ever owned.
some of the comments on some of the keyboards:
- Some of the keys controlled as many as six different functions.
- had no Backspace key.
- too many symbols printed on each key.
- poor key placement ... resulting in users' making repeated accidental hits and sending the cursor back up to the top of the screen.
- have anyone seen the period key? Oh, it's over there on the numeric keypad.
- no Left Shift key existed--instead, a Control key sat in its place
- most frustrating key combinations was Shift-Q, which would quit a program or reset the computer, much to the chagrin of users who lost a day's work while erroneously trying to capitalize the letter Q.
how lucky i am :P
