  yknow, I haven't had a problem keeping my wrists up, but the mouse...
  
  $.01:
  This keyboard is $130, but ultimately it's a keyboard, right? How does it feel to type? I'm willing to bet that it feels the same as the $17 piece of garbage that comes bundled with new computers. If I'm going to spend $100+ on a keyboard it darn well better be buckling spring or similar.
  
  That's my 2 cents. In reply to: "Smartfish moving keyboard leads the fight against carpal tunnel"

• I have no need for anything but my trusty IBM model M. After switching (breifly) back to a rubber dome keyboard (Logitech cordless desktop pro, split) it feels like typing on a wet sponge.
  
  Features or not, ultimately a keyboard should be judged by how it feels to type on it not how many USB ports it has.

• @jamesk111 And then, I didn't quite realize that you had already accounted for that in your calculation. ... I'll go shut up now. In reply to: "Speedy USB 3.0 spec to be unveiled"

• Slow down there jamesk111. A gigaBIT is a lot different than a gigaBYTE. Remember that a byte is comprised of 8 bits. So...according to a fancy online calculator: 5 gigabits = 640 megabytes

• A variable aperture over the zoom range is annoying for anyone who works with full manual operation. Example scenario: You set exposure for a particular part of the scene at f/4 -- for example, on the gray card set next to you -- then you zoom in to focus on something -- say a soccer player. Because it's f/4 to f/5.6 your camera is forced to change the aperture setting to f/5.6 and your exposure is now incorrect.
  
  Shooting in RAW makes this a simple adjustment, and there isn't a lot of difference between f/4 and f/5.6, but it is annoying nevertheless. I would have preferred seeing a shorter zoom range and a fixed maximum aperture. Not to mention that 70-400 is an incredible zoom range meaning that some serious technical feats would need to be accomplished to maintain sharpness across the entire range.
