The Kinesis Contoured keyboards are by far the best keyboards I've ever typed on. http://kinesis-ergo.com. This keyboard is designed to follow the arcs of your fingers' motion, and it feels amazing to use. The instant you lay your hands on the keys, your fingers are resting exactly where they should be on home row.
The keyswitches are individual mechanisms with a perfect feel and an insanely long lifetime. You can make it a clicky keyboard or a silent keyboard with a keystroke thanks to the fact that it has a small computer onboard. You can remap keys if you want, you can program key macros.

If you want DVORAK, you can buy a keyboard that is switchable between the two and has dual legends (labels).

MS Natural keyboards are terrible in comparison, as they require you to move your hands all over the place and reach to hit most keys. This keyboard keeps ever key within range of your hands without ever moving your wrists.

These keyboards have been shown to reduce the incidence of Carpel Tunnel largely due to the minimal effort required to push keys, and the significant fact that it only takes 2mm of travel to engage the key, but you have 4mm of travel before you 'bottom out'.

They're amazing keyboards that take a little while to get used to. Buy one, love it.
I love DDR, but In The Groove is a lot better. More interesting, more challenging.

BTW, I'm a 180-pound white guy. That being said, I put many of said asians to shame. :)

So, why is this thread here if there are multiple stories posted that aren't even mentioned here? WTF?
5 Macs or 5 Computers?
TheDVDWars.com disagrees, with numbers. HDDVD has maintained a lead for a long time in sales and titles available with only brief interruptions. No thanks, BluR-ay
TheDVDWars.com disagrees. And it has numbers. Sales for HDDVD's have enjoyed almost uninterrupted success over Blur-ay
I already do this with my XBox 360, all you need is a flash drive and some WMV's. What does this gain me?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
