Das Keyboard, a popular keyboard manufacturer that specializes in “clicky” mechanical keyboards like the Apple Extended Keyboard or the IBM Model M, has announced a Macintosh-edition of its Model S Professional keyboard.

Das’s keyboards are a favorite of many computer users, including MacRumors chief Arnold Kim. The Model S Professional for Mac is the same keyboard as the Model S that Das Keyboard has been selling, but with the appropriate “control”, “option”, and “command” keys for the Macintosh, plus function keys for sleep, brightness +/-, mute, volume +/-, eject, play/pause, next and previous track.

CNET gave the Model S Professional 4/5 stars, praising its “tactile feel and satisfying clack” and noting that “power typists will find comfort, utility, and nostalgia in the Model S Professional’s sleek design and springboard performance.” The keyboard “brings back the same mechanical key switches and provides tactical and audible feedback that might even improve your typing speed and accuracy.” The mechanical key switches of the 2.6 lb. Model S are designed to withstand more than 50 million strokes.

The Model S Professional for Mac will be priced at $133 when it’s released, but is available for pre-order for $113. Das Keyboard says it has a limited quantity available for immediate shipping, but the keyboard will be shipped in volume on April 16, 2012.

　1月12日よりスタートする連続ドラマ『最高の人生の終り方～エンディングプランナー～』（TBS系）で主演を務める山下智久が、主題歌「愛、テキサス」も担当し、今春にもCDを発売することが明らかになりました。

　山下が自身主演のテレビドラマ主題歌を担当するのは、『クロサギ』（TBS系）の「抱いてセニョリータ」以来とのことで、「久しぶりに出すシングルなのでうれしいです。今回の曲は今まであまり聞いたことのないようなパンチのある曲で、ドラマの主題歌としてもあっているので是非一度聞いてみて欲しいです」とコメント。楽曲の作詞を手がけたティカ・α（やくしまるえつこ）は、「山下くんの声は、まるで哀しいテキサス・チェーンソー。」、作曲を手掛けた永井聖一は、「テキサスにはNASAとレンジャーズ、そして山下君がいる。」とコメントしています。

The Smart Cover is one of Apple’s best accessories ever, and it seems absolutely essential for the iPad 2. One thought that has always been intriguing is a Smart Cover for the iPhone, as a mini version. TidyTilt is the answer, and it acts just like the Smart Cover, but with a few nice additions too. TidyTilt is made for the iPhone, and folds into two kickstand orientations to hold your iPhone up for movies, typing, games, and more. TinyTilt is composed of three folds, and is filled with magnets to stick and fold for your device.

The TidyTilt can also be folded to hold your earbuds or sync cable, and it’s a very ingenious idea that Apple should have made themselves when the 4S was released. TidyTilt is a KickStarter project from two design students, and they’re looking for your help in backing the project. It works with a mount that attaches to the back of your iPhone with a special adhesive, and the cover attaches magnetically to the mount. The accessory is iPhone 4 or 4S only, and can also attach your iPhone to any magnetic surface with very strong magnets. The TidyTilt actually attaches to the back rather than the front, and protects the back of your device.

You can support TidyTilt with donations as little as $1, and $19 will get you a TidyTilt in one of the four colors as soon as they begin shipping. TidyTilt is one of the beast ideas we’ve seen on KickStarter which is full of many great ideas. We hope they get enough funds to produce this idea, and we can’t wait to have one for our iPhone.
