I fail to see the "innovation" in this. Purpose built keyboards have been around for as long as i can remember, I am especially thinking about the TV production computers with special keys, colours etc... When i saw this i had my

No amount of willpower, or medical procedures (except maybe for lobotomy) will render tasks "you" find boring harder to postpone. The key element, in my opinion, is to cognitively transform tasks into achievements. the latter are

I think this app (although nice looking) misses the point of coloring book exercises. I think that using a pen/cil to color is not only aimed at fostering kids' creative process but also developing their hand-eye coordination and improve on

This sounds similar to ogame only for hardliner geeks. I like it already. But i guess it will all be in the interface, i hope he nails it right. This could be very interesting.

This is a load of crap. I think this attitude of justifying someone's wrong doing by pointing out that everyone else is doing it, is just hypocrisy. On the other hand I cant agree with people lashing out on apple because of this practice, a
