    prototype keyboard with OLED display/keys

    Now this looks cool: a keyboard that has full colour OLED displays on every key. Optimus made a prototype:

          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.

                                      ability to change key layout with different applications would be fantasitc!

                                                      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.
