Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard makes streaming-media device control easier

Logitech has announced a new member of the Harmony universal remote family. This isn't a normal remote control like the other offerings Logitech has had in the Harmony line for so long. This is a keyboard aimed at making it easier to type on various game consoles and set top boxes.

The product is called the Harmony Smart Keyboard. Logitech says that it will work with the Apple TV, Roku, Xbox One, and PS3 consoles. The device has an integrated touchpad to control the on screen cursor.

The keyboard also has integrated keys for commands on devices like Guide, Pause, Play, and channel up and down. There are also navigation buttons built-in for game consoles. The keyboard ships with the Harmony Hub allowing the user to use a smartphone app to control their devices as well.

The Harmony App is available for Android and iOS devices. The keyboard lacks the LCD touchscreen that many of the Harmony devices offer, but it does have three buttons for one-touch activity controls like Watch a movie and others. The smartphone app offers several more one touch controls for TV macros. The Hub will translate signals from the smartphone app and keyboard into signals your devices can understand using IR, WiFi, and Bluetooth. This is how the device can work with the PS3. The Harmony Smart Keyboard can be pre-ordered now for $149.99.

Panettiere says media 'unfair' to actresses

Nashville star Hayden Panettiere feels that the media tends to be unfair in its treatment of actresses in comparison with actors.

"Female actors have a much harder time in the media,"she said in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine. "Men can get away with a lot more.

"A guy dates 10 women at once and he's 'The Man', and a girl does the same and she's what? There's no nice word for it. It's very unfair."

Panettiere added that media scrutiny has been one of the more challenging aspects of her recent engagement to Ukranian boxerWladimirKlitschko.

"Can you imagine not having control over what's put out there about you?" she said. "People don't sit down and go, 'I wonder what they were going through?'We are not perfect; we make mistakes.

"That's one of the reasons I love playing Juliette Barnes [onNashville] -I understand her so well. The audience gets to see the real story -all sides of it - and how she deals with issues when she goes home."

The 24-year-old, who struck fame playing indestructible cheerleader ClaireBennet in Heroes, has knownKlitschko since 2009.

"We were friends for a year first. On paper, a relationship between the two of us looked crazy,"said Panettiere. "From where we live to where we come from, the differences in our lives are fairly big."

She added: "On the surface, everything about us is unalike. But at our core, our morals and goals in life are very similar, so our differences become a lot less terrifying . . .I'm in awe of what he does and who he is - that's a very strong feeling. He doesn't let me get away with things; he has the patience of a saint, but he is definitely no shrinking violet."
