The "find handset" button is clever. The designers realized that the phone part often gets lost and is annoying.
Love the giant A, Z, and Call buttons here.
Probably a lot can be discovered and utilized from the multiple buttons and levers of a typical motorcycle's hand controls. Imagine a mouse as functional.
Note the USPS Bar Code label at the bottom.
Not sure how/why some of the bulbs burned through the plastic buttons...

Only visible by opening the dishwasher.
These icons are pretty incomprehensible to me, but then I don't drink coffee. (Apologies for the lousy photo.)
Yes, that's me in the reflection. Sigh.
People don't appreciate taking pictures of equipment in airports, I've found.
"What I wanted to bring your attention to is that the numbers are duplicated - there’s a number on the actual button and then a raised number above the button.
Why?
My guess is that due to the nature of the intended use of the raised number - that is, to be read through touch - that if the raised letter were on the button then a person may accidentally trigger the button whilst attempting to read the button and figure out what the button will do once pressed."
How, though, does a visually-impared user know if the label is above or below the button they want to push?
Input is an internal microphone. When the played note is on pitch, the light is green.
I really like the clarity of the controls diagram.
Apologies for the blurry photo, but had to be taken quickly. Note the hand diagram. I bet we're going to see a lot of this sort of thing.
Love the "Maximum Time" button, since that's probably what most people do most of the time when parking at a meter.
Wow.
"Red emergency stop button on industrial machine in a factory."
In an Osaka restaurant, according to the photographer.
Be sure to view this photo in Flickr to see all the controls detailed out. Very cool.
View larger in Flickr to read the button labels. No comment on the form.
Photographer says: "These are the controls of the toilet in a restaurant in Ginza. Most of the toilets in Tokyo are remote-controlled. You can control the strength of the splashing water. I even saw one with a "flushing sound" button."
Love the "Help Is On The Way" light.
I think I understand these icons...

"Korg EA-1 Mk II analog modeling synthesizer. Portamento is how quickly it changes pitch so you can play it like a piano or make it sound like a siren. The rest is for the two oscilloscopes and the type of each and how they interact with each other (modulation). Also can patch in the audio in, instead of Osc 1."
What does the button marked with the handicapped icon do? And the repeat button? And the numbers below each of the buttons? And the unused buttons? What a mess.
