Colemak was designed with the goal of keeping the ZXCV shortcut cluster in its QWERTY position. That takes care of the common Cut/Copy/Paste/Undo shortcuts, at least.

Their finger diagram makes the same mistake that most do: outward slanting finger columns of Q-A-Z, W-S-X, E-D-C, R-F-V, T-G-B. http://i.imgur.com/9X0nFgv.png The Q-A-Z finger layout requires extremely un-ergonomic compromi

ThinkPad loyalists would kill for a modern ThinkPad with a high-res 4:3 display. This is how they used to be sold, and the extra vertical screen real estate (16:12) was great for work. Lenovo's blog post at the time: http://

Yes, my newly "unlocked" Sprint iPhone 5 will work fine overseas. It's specifically on non-Sprint domestic carriers where it won't work.

I simply cannot understand why Kindles no longer have buttons. They are clearly a better page-turning mechanism than the touch screen.
