Add as a preferred source on Google

Today on DT Daily: a bubbly keyboard for your i-device, the FAA shoots down a bunch of drone delivery dreams, and the reasons why people try to hack into banks? We’ve got a billion of them.

Despite their popularity, touchscreen keyboards are distant second to their physical cousins in terms of typing comfort, but a new device now give you a more tactile option. Here’s how it works.
