Can’t get away from your laptop either at home or at work? These jeans could very well be a blessing or a curse to you.

Developed by Dutch inventors pants have a fully functional, built-in keyboard, mouse and speakers. The Daily Mail reports that these jeans coined “Beauty and the Geek” were handmade by Nieuwe Heren, a company run by Erik de Nijs and Tim Smit, to give the users “ease and movement”:
“They’re not that heavy,” de Nijs told WebProNews. “With the flexible keyboard, small speakers, and small mouse, they are only a little bit heavier than your regular jeans.”
He added: “The idea was that you could log in to your computer and control it without sitting in a closed environment behind your desk.”

You still need a computer to wirelessly connect the jeans via a USB device. The Daily Mail reports de Nijs saying as of right now the jeans are too complex and they don’t have enough capital to bring them to the market. But if they did, they would retail for nearly $400.

I can see it now… I couldn’t do my homework, my mom didn’t wash my keyboard.

Could give a whole new meaning to phrases like “press enter” or “ctl alt del”
LOL

Believe it our not, I clean computer motherboards, PSUs (and their sleeved cables) CPUs, heat sinks, sound and graphic cards, and even fans with Purple Power (an engine degreaser) then wash them with water and blow them off with compressed air, then let them sit for a few days before assembling
A drop of Singer sewing machine oil in the fans‘ bearings and they’re good to go
The only components that are not cleaned that way are the optic drives, HDDs and floppy drives. Good old denatured alcohol is used for those.
As for keyboards and mice, it’s more cost effective to buy new ones, but I have cleaned some with Purple Power, it works very well
WARNING: do not use Purple Power on painted aluminum components, it strips the paint, 409 is good enough for aluminum and even steel cases
Rebuilt these desktops a few times over the last 8 years and have never had an issue except for HHD crashes

Posted on February 23, 2012 at 11:48pmImpossible. Radio by definition are too low energy to penetrate human skin. They would harmlessly bounce off. The only kind of radiation that can give you cancer is ionizing radiation. Ultra Violate rays are the lowest energy kind of wave that is ionizing. You can only get cancer from ultra violet, x rays, and gamma rays.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 12:49amA friend of mine died from a brain tumor (I believe it was caused by his cell phone). We used to bowl in leagues and tournaments together with my cousin; he was 22 when he died. I remember him with his phone in hand, talking on it. He showed me the scar from when they biopsied the tumor – it (the tumor) was shaped like a hand, with the tendrils attached to different parts of his brain. He was a phenomenal bowler… Up until a couple of months ago, my husband and refused to get a cell phone… but recently we were given one from his parents, for emergencies, I suppose, but we never use it. I wanted to put it in a lead box… but I don’t have access to one.

Posted on February 23, 2012 at 5:26pmThe expression “pocket pool” I’m will go by the wayside. I suspect something “lap tappin” or “alt tabbin” or possibly “cleaning your keys”
On a serious note, B for creativity, F for just plain stupid. Who the heck needs a keyboard sewn into the crotch of their pants. Next thing you know they’ll be sewing credit card swipers on strippers G-strings.
