We always knew those electromagnetic emanations would amount to no good, and now here they go ruining any shred of privacy we once thought to possess.

And, since everybody likes lists of things, ...

It's hard not to look cool while walking along carrying a guitar or even just a guitar case. Lugging around a keyboard, though ... far less studly (despite some noble attempts in the '80s). For this reason, keyboard-maker Infinite Response recently unveiled the new VAX 77 keyboard.

Using your digits to type out innumerable amounts of LOLs and ROFLMAOs on crumb-laden keyboards is something most people take for granted.
