The Dangerous Prototypes web platform is a tiny server
designed for networked hacks where a full PC is inconvenient.
for projects that bridge the internet to microcontrollers,

This business card-sized internet appliance
can connect to web services,
control physical objects from a browser interface,
or email sensor status reports;
no PC intermediary required!

so macro keys could send long passwords .
. some cable that converts a laptop into a keyboard;
so that another computer thinks it's just a keyboard,
when really it's a set of programmable macro keys as well .
