It's best to look at the text you're generating. Not the keys you are pressing. I would LOVE to try out the author's keyboard. It's great that someone is at least trying to push touch screen typing forward. I remain skeptical that this form

I think we are talking about different use cases. I'm coming from the perspective that you shouldn't be looking at the keyboard when you type- virtual or not. Instead you are relying on robotic muscle memory to generate a specific character

I don't think this would work very well. iPad typing, like normal typing, is all about muscle memory. Given a default position (fingertips hovering above middle row) each of my ten fingers has learned how to reach for and connect with each

Some lectins break down better than others, but for the most part lectins are extremely durable. The lectins in legumes are a lot less of a big deal compared to the lectins in wheat (gluten).

The plants this statement is referring to are cereal grains. Eight cereal grains: wheat, maize, rice, barley, sorghum, oats, rye and millet provide 56% of the food energy and 50% of the protein consumed on Earth.

I highly recommend The Paleo Solution. Without any doubt I can say it has radically changed my life for the better. Robb Wolf's podcasts are also packed with great information if you haven't dug into those yet.

Hmm, this is not the case on the iPad: many people are able to type at 100wpm+ on the it. How fast do you mean?

You touched on this in your last paragraph, but I think it still deserves saying: Apple wields a lot of the power it wrenched away from carriers to the benefit of it's consumers. I'm stoked that my iPhone doesn't com preloaded with crap war
