Just when Apple is still dealing with the bad publicity gathered through the recent SMS exploit, the guys at DEFCON demonstrated how a keylogger can be planted into Apple keyboards via hacking the firmware.

This hack cannot be performed remotely.
The thing I really dislike about the Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000 (Wired) is they replaced the right Windows key with the Flip 3D button which is just nonsense for me.
I haven’t figured how to reprogram it back or something. I use that Windows button (or what used to be a Windows button) quite often. Especially the Win+L shortcut to lock the Windows system
The story of the keyboard cat. It’s a true internet story:
Fatso Schmidt, aka “The Keyboard Cat” has been around long before his Internet fame. It all began at the 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Fair…. Featuring Never Before Seen Photos of Keyboard Cat & Interviews with Jocko Marcellino of Sha Na Na, Evan Brown of Shaimus & Tay Zonday of, well, Tay Zonday :)
The ‘u’ on my keyboard is not working. I can’t leave without ‘u’. :(
Cafyn wouldn’t be possible without Nginx, Apache, MySQL, PHP and WordPress.

I just bought a new keyboard for that. I hope to get used to it soon. My huge fingers are pressing multiple keys at once and, nah, I wasn’t referring to Ctrl+Alt+Del.
