Some people like to take a minimalist to their desktop. But full sized keyboards
and mice take up valuable desk space and if you’re looking for a way to
minimize that, this keyboard/touchpad concept might be a good way to
go. It was designed by Min Koo Yeo and is called "Inside Out”.
It looks like just a keyboard at first glance, but according to the
designer, it is meant to serve dual purposes. One side is a keyboard,
the other a touchpad, allowing you to interact with it, perform gestures
etc.
Having such a large touchpad could come in handy, but having
to flip between the keyboard and touchpad could be a pain in the butt.

Canadians can breath a sigh of relief if they are among those waiting for the Galaxy camera. They can get the Samsung
Galaxy Camera starting December 7th. They can get it at either a local
Black’s Photography store or the official Samsung store in Burnaby, BC.

but the similarity in networks in the north works to your advantage: a
data micro-SIM from any of the larger carriers will be enough for some
3G photo sharing.
We don’t have a Canadian price yet, but it shouldn’t be too far from the $500 US price.
