From the ‘out-there’ designer of the clever OLED keyboard, Optimus, comes the next phase in reinventing your desktop.
Meet the Upravlator keyboard which looks oddly like a display, which it is – kind of. This is what happens when you start trying to explain what the hell Art Lebedev is up too. This is essentially a 12-button version of the three button keyboard, measuring 10.8in, which plugs into second monitor port to allow designers and artists quickly switch between tasks or tools. Think of it like a very good-looking set of function keys.
Users can assign whatever they like to each button. That’s all we know apart from it doesn’t exist yet.-Martin Lynch

Bling Fridge: LG’s At It Again October 20, 2006
READ MORE Gadgets , Home Entertainment
LG like its fridges. It likes dressing them up and making them seem more than just the large cold storage box that they are. The purpose of a fridge’s existence in life is to keep beer cold, milk fresh and horses’ heads frozen - until you need them.
Not so with LG which has launched another series of Art home appliances, featuring Swarovski crystals (what doesn’t these days?) and some flowery art by a famous Korean artist. It’s also planning to incorporate washing machines, air conditioners and other household appliances into the line.
No idea, nor interest, in when they are arriving or how much they will hurt your pocket. Anyway, if you’re buying fridges with customised art and Swarovski crystals you long ago forgot the value of money. How much is a pint of milk anyway?-Martin Lynch
