53-Keys New Standard Keyboard

Tech-Blog.org: Technology News

As a programmer, certainly I'm always typing. I dislike the old-fashion, standard typing method. I knew homing position, but I saw inefficiency to me, so I gave it up.
(Actually, I just know Qwerty but not Dvorak layout....)

This 53-keys keyboard arrages keys alphabetically. Wow, would it be better, in fact...?
It concerns short learning curve (as many commercial products do so), however, if it improves nothing else, what's the reason drives me using this new keyboard?

Let's say.... I want a keyboard that I can type with less "effort". Typing sometimes makes my hands very tired.
If someone can add massage feature to keyboard - that's wonderful.

Windows Mobile Seminar

Today I have joined a Windows Mobile seminar by PocketPC.com.hk.
It disappointed me much. I know I've really over-estimated the seminar.
The content is not bad. It just fits novices or end-users.

1st part is the best, given by Hong Kong Wireless Development Centre. Their representative, Mr. KW Au, had presented this organization to us, what they did, how they can help developers or PPC geeks working on mobile development. Mr. Au has prepared many information, however, no extra time is allowed. I wonder if John can listen this part so I can have a discussion with him.
2nd part is just product promotion from Motorola...on their new smartphone MPx220.
The last section before the break is better, from O2. The two representatives talked about SmartPhone and PDA Phone, their differences, usages and how we choose among those models.
After a short break (for food and toliet), the HP representative, Mr. Derrick Ngan (he is leader of PPC.com.hk) talked about their new 2 HP PDA phones.
A little surpise came from Kawaii's sharing on her novice's way on PPC (but I just know she was a DJ of RTHK before).

For the lucky draw....
I have a chance to get O2 Xphone II .... but I fail to get the best answer.
Well, I don't know how much it costs, and it looks cool. However, I don't like any big mobile phone.

Slashdot | Gmail Messages Are Vulnerable To Interception

We should bear in mind - it is still in beta testing phrase
Don't use gmail for any confidential purpose, esp for banking, credit card, stock or investment statement or bill.

Some said...all emails are vulnerable...
We might try to use PKI on daily email, somehow it does add extra security.
