Pants with built in keyboard and mouse

Wow, you’d have to be really nerdy to wear these keypants/keyboard trousers. I do a lot of nerdy things but wearing these pants is kind of beyond the pale. That said, how awesome are they? and the built-in mouse? Check out the close-up. Did you notice there are speakers built into the knees?

Great way to pick up girls at a LAN party.

But seriously, I think I'd have to kick the person's ass that I saw wearing these on general principal alone. But that's just me...I have anger issues.

Logitech's new wireless desktop

Logitech has just released the Logitech MX5500 Revolution Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse. I found a review over at BlueTomorrow.com. This mouse ans keyboard combo really intrigues me. For at least 2 years, I was using a Logitech Keyboard and a wireless mouse and got my MS Entertainment Desktop 7000 as a way of getting rid of a lot of wires and adding bluetooth to my desktop so I could easily sync with my phone. The Logitect DiNovo always held my interest until I looked at the pricetag and then reality always set in. But this combo is coming in at around $150, and it will go down in price. I do miss having the numeric key pad on my keyboard, but I do like the fact that it does take up less desk space. One feature that looks like a geeks dream is the little LCD screen that has a zillion functions it seems (I imagine that some are completely useless, but I hope that there are people hacking new uses for it as I type this).

Fujitsu's New Palm Security: Identifies Your Veins

As the slow merge of man and machines begins, Fujitsu has brought us one step closer to borgville. Fujitsu’s PalmSecure device reads the veins in your palm to identify you from would be nosy people trying to view your porn. It is reported to be more secure than fingerprint readers, and it will ship with all the software necessary to run this from your PC.

No word on price or a release date but Fujitsu states that it will be soon.

Apple Takes Off Its Buttons

In Apple's quest to make the world completely buttonless, another wonder is on its way.

Apple has filed a patent for a buttonless mouse which senses where your fingers are located on its body. This would be the first "mouse with optical sensing surface", similar to how the iphone senses when a face is near and turns the display off.

No word on when this may see the light of day. So stay tuned.

Sneaked Shot of Upcoming Logitech MX Air Mouse?

Logitech's apparently planning a run into the air mouse market with its MX platform. It looks to sport both gyration-based movement and a standard laser, though they're supposedly holding off on Bluetooth in favor of RF. Expected drop date is sometime this summer.

What do guys think of air mice, anyway?
