With the tech blogs getting all hot and bothered over Art Lebedev’s Optimus Maximus keyboard and it’s customizable OLED keys, we thought we would show off a slightly more analog version of the same concept. At no where near the Optimus Maximus price of nearly $2,000 USDs, this $30 version called “Keyboard Shortcut” Skins” by Photojojo serves essentially the exact same function. Custom key stickers can turn your standard Mac keyboard into a professional grade single purpose keyboard, perfect for running any number of creative tools like Aperture, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, and Pro Tools.

Last night, fortified by a YouTube instructional video, a Torx-6 screwdriver and a fifth of Glenrothes, we took apart our Macbook Pro and ripped out the measly 80 GB hard drive. An hour later we’d successfully installed a 200 GB that spins up at 7,200 rpm and it was like having a new, faster machine!
We felt pretty good about ourselves–until we saw Richard Hunt’s Mac hack. After the screen crapped out on his Powerbook, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it away, so he turned it into a desktop machine using acrylic plastic from a shower, perforated steel and some chrome pipe.
It’s like making an inverted-bucket sandcastle, then turning to see the guy next to you has built the Taj Mahal.
