    Alternative USB Keyboards for Mac

    Though I'm a die hard Mac fanboy, the one Apple product I'm not in love with is the keyboard that came with my iMac. I prefer a bit more action in the keys and tactile definition. Is anyone using an alternative USB keyboard that's made for Mac? I've used Windows keyboards with my Mac before...

    The scary truth about our nation's intelligence - my rant about why universal suffrage maybe isn't the best idea

    I was reading in OT today a thread where the OP says that none of the girls he works with at a nightclub can do basic subtraction in their head (ie. cover is either $8, $10, or $12 - how much change from a $20?). The thread basically goes slightly off topic to determine that it's not only...

    CNN's Touchscreen Election Analysis Rig

    Is anyone watching the Super Tuesday coverage on CNN? The touchscreen computer system that they are using to vizualize the election results is fascinating. The newscaster can pan and zoom into different states, counties, even cities, and the election data is automatically displayed for that...

    Good web site to design and print business cards?
