      No doubt it's gonna cost a small fortune, but the concept is brilliant if it can be made durable that is. It's especially cool that you can change the keys according to which application you are running.

            *drool* Now I'd actually only want one if the keys are actually sturdy and last longer than a year.

                            I can imagine the suport calls :

                            Customer: "My keyboard are showing me pron"
                            Tech: "Your kb is doing WHAT?!?"
                            C: "Yeah, my keyboard has a large ad for <insert random xxx site> splashed all over it"
                            T: "uhm, dont you mean that you got adds all over your monitor?"
                            C: "no! they are all over my kb and now they are blinking and flashing!"

                            At this point I'd would have wondered if he was:

                            A: had his computer parts names all confused
                            B: Hadnt taken his medication/ Taken to much ACID
                            C: Just beeen released from psyko ward (yeah, ive encountered those)
                            D: Gotten his hands on one of those keyboards and was running XP, IE, and no firewall
                            If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

                              Could it be not even a prototype? (I've read just few comments on top, not enough interest to dug deeper )
