<\/p>\n

I just got a new Apple Wireless Keyboad<\/a>. <\/p>\n

My laptop currently sits atop a Griffin Elevator<\/a>, this keeps it cool and also helps keep my neck at a healthy angle, something I need given how many hours I spend on the computer.<\/p>\n

The problem with the Elevator is that after a while, your arms get tired and you end up resting your arms over your elbows, causing you elbow dryness and sometimes pain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To rest my elbows and have an ergonomic<\/a> posture, I needed a keyboard that was small enough to fit on my tight desk.<\/p>\n

The other reason I got it was that the MacBook keyboard is extremely worn out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Getting used to the new keyboard<\/strong>
\nThe function keyboard layout is a bit different from the one on the MacBook. It took me a couple hours getting used to the spacing between the keys, but now I’m fully used to it. The feeling of the keys going down is very addictive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since the keyboard is wireless, I’m planning on getting another one to put it in front of the TV. Once Boxee<\/a> integrates Joost and Hulu perfectly into the system, getting an Apple TV or a cheap custom built computer as a media center will make a lot of sense. <\/p>\n

I’ve been hooking up the laptop via HDMI to the TV, and it sucks every time an episode ends in Hulu, or when there are commercial breaks on the ABC.com HD player because you have to get up and click on continue, or select the next episode to watch (unless you have setup playlists previously). <\/p>\n

A wireless mouse and keyboard solve that problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Useful for Internet TV<\/strong>
\nAnother plus, it can work like a remote control, for your HDMI-TV\/Laptop setup.<\/p>\n

I can proudly say we’ve been Cable-TV free for over 10 months now (saving probably around $200), I “survive” on Netflix DVDs & Streaming (can’t wait for the Xbox Live upgrade), Joost<\/a> and Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given my past history of doing things 2-3 years before regular people, I can see a big future for the Internet TV\/Video companies that survive this “crisis” (bullshit crisis really, go to Venezuela and see what a real crisis is), eventually the whole thing will be packed on little boxes and CableTV companies will be in trouble if they don’t jump on the I-watch-what-I-want-whenever-I-want-via-internet boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
