Optimus Maximus Keyboard

optimus-maximus-keyboard

This is the latest craze in computer keyboards: The Optimus Maximus Keyboard. Now, that’s a pretty fancy name for a keyboard, but this one totally deserves it. The Optimus Keyboard is also the most expensive one priced at $1500.

What’s the difference with this keyboard: Well, it has screens embedded in each and every button. This can make any key behavior like you would like to. For example if you want to write using ancient Greek characters, you can make the keys change to them.

It also has buttons on the right that can be configured to launch any application or website you want. You can read all about it at its homepage in Art Lebedev Sudio.

Tony Gonzalez Traded!

Tony Gonzalez Traded!

Tony Gonzalez Traded – Kansas is saying goodbye to Tony Gonzalez, the once face of the Chief is headed to Atlanta where he will play now for the Falcons.

Gonzalez has been playing with the Kansas City Chiefs since he started playing pro football back in 1997. Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff, spoke about this before news came out:

“I think most teams, I don’t care who they are, would envision Tony walking out of their tunnel, knowing he’s going to improve their football team,”

Gonzalez said that he ended with the Chiefs in good terms:

“There was no bitterness at all from either side,”

This may be a good chance for Gonzalez to have a super Bowl after all the time he had with Kansas City. He deserves that, after all, he’s done everything that he could in the time he has been with KC. Even KC fans know that.

Jimmy Smith Mug Shot – Check out the mug shot of Jimmy Smiths who was arrested yesterdayon drug charges. If you don’t recognize him it’s because you are not into NFL. Smith is a legend among Jacksonville Jaguars fans.

Smith, who is still in custody, was found in possession of cocaine, 20 grams of marijuana among other drugs, the report says:

“felony possession/sell of a controlled substance.”

It’s sad to see former superstars sink in life like this. Right now Smith hasn’t paid the bond that is around $5000. Yet more proof that fame and fortune gives happiness only for a short time.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol 4/22/09

Who Got Voted Off American Idol 4/22/09

Who Got Voted Off American Idol 4/22/09? – Tonight was another American Idol elimination night, as we continue with our American Idol news. Now, this was not a common night in the show.  Last week new rules were used and we saw how judges saved Matt Giraud from being eliminated after his horrendous performance of “Have You ever Really Loved a Woman”, so this meant that tonight two contestants would be sent home.

Do you guess who they are?

Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai were eliminated. Lil Rounds sang “I’m Every Woman” and according to many people, her performance was not enough for this competition level. Anoop on the other hand sang “Dim all the Lights” and he had a lot of off-key moments that ultimately sealed his destiny in the show.

The American Idol Top Five 2009 now are: Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud.

David Hernandez and Adam Lambert

David Hernandez and Adam Lambert – Remember David Hernandez? He was a contestant in the previous edition American Idol, he was involved in one of the show ‘scandals’ when it was revealed that he worked as a male stripper.  Well, Michael Musto from the Village Voice talked to him and he made some declarations about current season favorite, Adam Lambert.

Both David and Adam are gay, and Hernandez still thinks this was the reason he was voted off the show:

“It was the gay thing. That’s Middle America for you. I feel like New York and L.A. are two separate countries.”

The reporter said that Adam wasn’t voted off, so Hernandez replied “Not Yet”

Uuhh. Conspirator theories on American Idol, you gotta love that! I think this season Adam still has the lead.  Do you think he will be voted off any time soon?
