ArtLebedev in April

 It has been a while since I've checked what marvellous new inventions were in the making, down in the shimmering halls of Artemis Lebedev and I must say I'm pleased to see that he and his companions weren't as lazy as I was during my relocation.

Also there are some news about the Optimus Maximus. But one step at a time. [...]
(show me)(don't show me)

[...]: Defendius door chain
Now that's what I call an innovative door chain.

[..·]: Puzzlus
This is an hilariously awesome idea for a jigsaw puzzle which will surely make you look twice for what's so special about it ;^)

[.·.]: Dosugus cushion
A comfy little pillow for the nerd inside everyone of us ...

[.··]: Optimus Maximus keyboard
After checking the new things it was time to get an update on the old stuff: the glorious "Optimus Maximus" - and I'm delighted to the utmost to see that the price has dropped, hugely. But it's still about as expensive as a Playstation 3™ it costs only a fifth of its launch price, namely approximately 371,43 €. There isn't any clue about the release date yet, though. Apart from the price you can see some new ports at its back, like a port for SD cards. And old ones, too, like a DC port which means that there'll be no cordless version of this keyboard :^/

But check this out, finally there are some videos out there at YouTube, not only this one:

Optimus Maximus: at long last, we bring one home to test!

[·..]: Optimus Tactus keyboard
And as if it weren't enough the guys and gals are even working on a new Optimus project! Instead of making a keyboard with keys having OLEDisplays the keyboard itself is but a giant display. Which means that not only you can alter the layout of the keys but instead the placement of the keys! I'm still not sure what for I would need this - but it's plainly awesome ... ;^p
