The first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.

The day that some began to doubt it would ever come is finally here - the Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard from Art. Lebedev Studio has arrived.

As you should know by now this amazing keyboard features a tiny screen on each key… that’s 113 screens in all. What can you do with these tiny screens you ask? Well each key can change it’s image dynamically depending on what you doing.

Hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Run Photoshop and you can set it so each hotkey has an image representing it’s function. Set a key to monitor your CPU usage or display what iTunes track you are currently playing. You can make a key into a tiny clock with moving hands and play animated gif files or even quicktime movies.

Here’s a video showing the Optimus Maximus keyboard in action:

The Pro Phone Center has four tone settings and amplifies incoming sounds up to 50 decibels. On top of that it will separate noise from voice to give you the best possible listening experience.

There’s multi-band compression and adjustable volume, along with digital 5.8GHz transmission to provide less interference. There are four tone settings to customize your listening experience. You’ll appreciate the full duplex speakerphone in the handset and base - and the handset is contoured, to be comfortable and easy to hold. The concave earpiece creates an acoustic chamber to provide crystal-clear sound. This is an excellent, feature-rich solution for those with hearing loss.

The digital answering machine comes with adjustable-speed playback and remote access. There’s also call waiting, of course, and caller ID with 40-name and number memory. And the unit is hearing aid compatible. There are also features especially helpful for those with vision problems, like the bright visual ringer flashes that signal incoming calls. The high-contrast white LED screen is bright and easy to see, and generously spaced backlit buttons make dialing easier.

The Pro Amplified Phone Center ($269) is available from firstSTREET.
