If you're using your computer during the night, you probably want to keep the noise level that your keyboard produces to a minimum, especially if you have someone else sleeping in the room. No more will you have to worry about late computer sessions because Silent PC Keyboard Cover is here to help you.

This might be a radical design according to Thanko. It should provide sound proof keyboard usage, but to tell you the truth, we're not that impressed. Silent PC Keyboard Cover is to cover your keyboard and your hands so that you can't produce any unwanted noise. Besides noise reduction, this cover will keep your keyboard clean from dust, and it will keep your hands warm as well. In addition, you can put your mouse in Silent PC Keyboard Cover as well, and thanks to the top window on the cover, you can see your fingers while you're typing.

Silent PC Keyboard Cover might be a good solution to reduce noise, but in our humble opinion, you may just look silly with it.

We see all sorts of robots every day, and robots aren't just a thing of a future, because robots have existed 60 years ago, and it seems that some of those old robots are making a comeback 60 years later.

One of the oldest robots is George, he was handmade in 1950. George is six-foot tall, and it's made from aluminum scraps of a crashed bomber. As for George, he is remotely controlled and created by Tony Sale. George was quite popular in the 50's but the last 45 years George spent its life in a storage shed collecting dust. George might not look impressive, and it definitely cannot do all the things that modern robots do, but it's quite impressive, since George might be one of the first robots that have been created.

As for George, it will be moved to National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England so that other people can see it in person.
