Paul Sebastian Ziegler gave a talk at the HITB security conference in 2012 titled "Hacking in the Far East". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouQFu1FDllw To me it was an eye opener to learn about the different atti

The Optimus keyboards [1] by Art. Lebedev Studio have been around for a while but they've always been prohibitively expensive. While this keyboard doesn't have color in the displays, it's actually affordable. Another similar

The minions pictured on the very same page are clearly a darker shade of yellow. When I grap the pantone color with a color picker I get #f8e763, while a minion gives me #fad24e.

Wow, I had never heard of this but it's really cool. It comes with a couple of commands that are really impressive. tycat can put an image inline in your terminal. tyls gives you an inline folder view with thumbnails that you can click
