iPad Keyboard

Another keyboard innovation for your iPad... (cooler than the one I mentioned over the week-end for your computer).


This is part of a KickStarter project that has already raised $136,000 - a little more than the original goal of $10,000. TechCrunch has the story of how this project came to be.

The History of Android Phones

They've come a long way, baby, in three years.

The First Problem Solved by Computer: Four Color Theorem

From LifeHacker:

"Even during the 1970s, when computers were harder to come by and problems were weightier, computers were routinely brought in to solve things for the people who had access to them. But prior to 1976, they weren't required to prove any math problem. They just made things easier. That is, until Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken used a computer to prove a 124-year-old conjecture. In 1852, Francis Guthrie came up with what's known as the Four-Color Theorem. That theorem stated that no map needed more than four colors to delineate territories. Generally, different countries, states, or provinces, were given different colors on a map. If a mapmaker were armed with four different colors, there was no territory, or set of them, that could be arranged in such a way that two adjoining territories were the same color."

I think the first actual use (not problem solving) of a computer must have been to start a flame war, play solitaire, or look at "adult" content.

Tempted - Garmin Forerunner 610

So I've been running a bit - even completing a half-marathon recently. As with any hobby, you have to get the toys. I'm so tempted by the Garmin Forerunner 610. I've been using RunKeeper on my Android phone. I really like RunKeeper, but the phone isn't the best solution. However, the Android/RunKeeper solution is free. The watch is $350.

The Virtual Racer feature would be a good training tool.
