- Improve your iPod shuffle - Lionel - 13:36:30
The iPod Shuffle is exclusively working with one computer. When plugging it to another computer, audio traks that are not present in the iTunes database will be erased.
With the software iPod shuffle Database Builder one can use the iPod without iTunes or other playlist management applications.
You simply need to load your iPod Shuffle with compatible audio files, then let this small application rebuild iPod Shuffle database.
We could not test whether the iPod Shuffle could be loaded with audio tracks originating from different iTMS accounts, but if it turns out to be the case, for sure Apple will not like it.

- Optimus keyboard : the amazing keyboard! - Lionel - 13:29:17
The Optimus keyboard is probably the most beautiful keyboard worldwide.



Every single key is a stand-alone OLED display that can be defined by the user depending on his current usage, running applications, games or for special tasks.
It is currently still at the prototype level, but should be available in 2006 for the price of a "high-end" mobile phone, in other words, couple of hundreds euros.
For users running pro or dedicated applications, this keyboard might be a real advantage and boost productivity. Depending on its availability and final price, this keyboard might be a success, leaving Apple White keyboard in its box...
