3TB TeraStation Living HOME
May 23, 2007
Next month Sony will be releasing a firmware update for the PlayStation 3, included in that update will be DLNA video streaming support. Which pretty much means PS3 owners will be able to play video content from their Windows Media Center, or any other DLNA compatible device. Which is why I am adding this Buffalo TeraStation Living HOME to my wish list. It has 3TB (3,072GB) of data storage and DLNA compatibility. So basically you can store thousands of movies on this device and watch them from your PlayStation 3.

Optimus Maximus keyboard
May 23, 2007
The Optimus Maximus keyboard (pre-order $1,565) is almost the most expensive keyboard. Every key on this keyboard has a small OLED screen (48px x 48px), which can be customized to indicate various shortcuts for different programs or games. This keyboard is very useful, but I doubt any one can justify paying that much for a keyboard.
