Windows Media Player 11 has been in the works for a few months now and I am still amazed at the how smooth and stable the Beta runs. The final version is supposed to be released on September 14 according to TheHotFix.net. They claim their source that has given them the date estimate is pretty accurate because of past information they have received from them.

I am excited about the release because the simple design has won my heart over and the default skin looks great in XP. I like the color scheme a lot and wish there was a theme for Windows XP that matched it, well, a default one at least. There is a theme available for WindowBlinds that gives Windows the look of WMP 11 but I think it takes it a little too far:

OCZ Technology’s Elixir keyboard was fine and dandy, but let’s face it — it’s pretty hard to beat the awesomeness of a keyboard with lights. Today, the company is expanding its Alchemy peripheral line with the Illuminati multimedia keyboard, a board with rubber coated keys, fourteen quick launch buttons and the choice of two backlit colors (red or blue, naturally). OCZ promises that the keys can withstand over five million cycles, and given its USB 2.0 port, it should play nice with just about any machine you jam it into. Regrettably, the company has failed to divulge a price here, but it’s supposedly “attainable on all budgets” — whatever that means.

We’re not sure if you’ve noticed, but choosing a wristwatch just might be the most difficult decision a man or woman has to make in their entire life. If you just keep hemming and hawing, why not add a little more confusion to the mix with Kisai’s Sensai? This lightweight piece is constructed from high grade aluminum, and it supposedly uses “positive shapes and negative lines” in order to create a face that’s impossible to ignore. The LEDs beneath the metal tell time in code, a process that reportedly takes between eight and ten decades to master. Thankfully, instructions are provided in both English and Japanese, though native Yiddish speakers may have some difficulty piecing it all together. Purchase at your own risk.
