DAS Keyboard Updated With Mac Media Keys

DAS Keyboard Updated With Mac Media Keys:

 

Clickety-clack — you won’t go back.

 

Despite being noisy, big, heavy and hard to type on, clackety keyboards like the DAS are hot fashion right now, despite their impracticality (isn’t that always the way with fashion?). I kid. I actually use a DAS keyboard with my iMac, although to be honest I almost never use the iMac these days.

The only thing that really drives me crazy about the DAs, though, is the lack of media keys. F15 and F16, or whatever the last keys are in the top row, control screen brightness out of the box, but volume, media keys and other OS X essentials are lacking, leaving rather kludgy third-party fixes as the only way to add them back.

Now, the Model S Professional and Professional Silent models sport proper media keys. Three word: At frickin’ last.

In addition to these essentials, there’s also a sleep key which mimics the power button on older Apple desktop keyboards, letting you put your iMac to sleep without giving it a reach-around. And of course all those DAS keyboard favorites are still there: the fancy clackety key switches, the long, long USB cable, the laser-etched keycaps and the ability to whack a burglar or other home intruder over the head without breaking it (the keyboard – not the head).

The prices remain at a reasonable but not cheap $129 (regular) and $135 (“silent”).

Land Of The Eternal Fax

Land Of The Eternal Fax:

Although Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries, it still won't let go of the fax machine:

As of March, according to Japan’s Cabinet Office, fax machines could be found in 59 percent of Japanese homes. (That penetration rate, after climbing for years, has peaked in the past five years.) ... [E]ven in the early 1990s, only about 3 percent of U.S. homes had the machines, [historian Jonathan Coopersmith] said. In terms of fax reliance, "I don’t think any other nation comes close to Japan."

Mariko Oi details some reasons why, including the large senior population, the love of hard documents, and the esteem of communicating by hand:

[T]he culture of handwriting is firmly rooted here. For example, the majority of resumes are still handwritten because Japanese employers are said to judge people's personalities from their writings. For season's greetings cards, don't dare think of sending computer generated messages, says Midori's "how to write a letter" website. "New Year's cards without handwritten messages come across as businesslike and automatic," it says. Emails lack warmth, says [fax-lover Yutaro] Suzuki. Not surprisingly, people aspire to have good handwriting. Calligraphy remains one of the most popular lessons that parents send their children to and many adults take private lessons to improve their writings, too.
