Any relation to Brad Rutter? He's the guy who beat Ken Jennings in the Jeopary Ultimate Tournament of Champions. The guy is a machine.
Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
Bloody ridiculous. The circuit board is clearly 1.6 mm thick, by scaling from the ICs. The ICs are old mounting technology (ca. late 1980s, early 1990s) and the cables are about 6-8 mm diameter. There is no way that anything of that size could EVER find lodging room between the keyboard and other components of a laptop. If it were genuine, it would a) be connected via a flexi-rigid connection to 0.4 mm board and b) use chip-scale interconnection technology for space reduction. In any case, much more likely would be integration of the chips onto the actual keyboard substrate, not as a separate module. Furthermore, why tackle just Dell laptops? They have a minute fraction of the total PC market.
