Outside of Word documents and IM clients, one of the most intensive uses of keyboards nowadays is in massively multiplayer online games . But, gaze upon the button array before you and you’ll notice that there’s nary a single concession to your ten-hours-a-day WoW habit. SteelSeries is today looking to rectify that situation with its all-new MMO Keyset, which you can see above, attached to the company’s already available Shift gaming keyboard . This assortment of oddly titled keys comes with an exhaustive set of customization and macro options, so even the most hardcore of online raiders should be able to extract some added value from it. We’re not sure that utility will ever add up to the $25 (€25 in Europe) asking price, but then we’ve never managed to get our Night Elf Mohawk to Level 80, either.

Oh, sure — you’ve got a smorgasbord of virtual machine clients out there for the iDevice in your life, but you haven’t had this one. Until today, of course. Splashtop (the former DeviceVM ) has just unleashed its Remote Desktop app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, enabling users to funnel Windows PC content onto their handheld. The catch is an obvious one — you’ll need a WiFi connection to make the magic happen, though we’re assuming you wouldn’t even want to imagine how sluggish the process would be over 3G. The company claims that this app will let users “watch movies, listen to music, or access any other Windows files and programs, including full web browsers with Flash,” and you’ll need a WiFi-connected Win7, Vista or WinXP machine nearby to take advantage. We’ve got a feeling this won’t work nearly as well as advertised (sorry, it’s just the nature of tunneling / emulation), but those willing to take the plunge can tap into the App Store as we speak.

Hamid Karzai and NATO would like Afghan forces to take over the country’s security by 2014, a goal Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell calls “aspirational,” as in “There may very well be the need for forces to remain in-country, albeit, hopefully, at smaller numbers, to assist the Afghans as they assume lead responsibility for the security of their country.” And what about the July, 2011 withdrawal deadline promised by President Obama? Morell explains: I’ve seen some of these stories that have sort of suggested that there is an inherent contradiction between July 2011 and the—and the end of 2014.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – An explosion ripped through New Zealand’s largest coal mine Friday while about 30 people were underground, officials said. Five workers, dazed and slightly injured, stumbled to the surface hours later, while more than two dozen were missing. Police said that shortly before the blast the electricity went out in the mine, which may have caused ventiliation problems. That may have contributed to a buildup of gas underground. The explosion was powerful enough to blow one driver off his machine deep in a tunnel, and one mine safety expert said gas was a possible cause of the blast, although spokeswoman Barbara Dunn stressed it was too early to say why it occurred….
