How would you change Microsoft’s new Zunes / v3.0 software?

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video

Microsoft’s newest Zunes (along with the 3.0 software) have been out for well over a month now, which means you’ve had ample opportunity to really test one out and form some educated opinions. Now, it’s time to open up and let loose. Are you still down with the design? Do [...]

Obama spent $700,000 in Berlin; Calls opposition to tax plan selfishness

The Washington Times reports that this summer during his European tour Senator Obama paid 0,000 for staging and lighting to a company in Berlin for his much hyped but largely disfavored in America speech that took place in Germany.
As this news hits Obama today pushed back against calls by John McCain & Sarah Palin that [...]

New MacBook Air hits the streets, actually capable of this whole "computing" thing

Filed under: Laptops

The new MacBook Air has landed, and folks all over are recording their impressions of the slightly-revamped ultraportable. Obviously there’s very little to note externally, with the same packaging and design to the computer — the only real difference is the new mini DisplayPort plug to replace that totally oddball microDVI plug. What’s [...]

Spooky Hexapod Dancing Robot Scares Ladies Your Way [Freaky]

This six-legged, pimp-headed robot dancing to Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5” is all sorts of freaky. It’s been on YouTube for a few weeks, but I thought it was perfect for Halloween, as evidenced by that pins-and-needles feeling I get watching it. Remember that scene in Toy Story when the maltreated toys go after Buzz [...]

Stunning Carved Pedestal For iPhone Worship [Iphone Throne]

I think it is safe to say that design student Kyle Buckner is more than just an iPhone user—he is an iPhone worshiper. After all, the iPhone sits atop his elaborate wood-carved pedestal like a King on his throne. Is this the beginning of some sort of cult? Will there be robes and chanting? Truth [...]

Google Robots Ordered to Fight Zombies on Halloween [Braaaaaaaaaains]

Halloween is a scary day because you never know when some undead miscreant is going to try and harvest your brain. That’s why, as Matt Cutts discovered, Google has ordered its robots to disallow any brain-hungry zombies from…well…eating brains. I’m not sure exactly how this zombie spotting and robot deployment works, but now we can [...]

Intel Core i7 benchmarks make Core 2 Extreme look like a washed-up has-been

Filed under: Desktops

Presumably in an (utterly futile) attempt to bring down the power grid all around the Mediterranean, print magazine PC World Greece benchmarked three powerful Nehalem desktop processors — the Core i7 Extreme Edition 965, and the apparently non-extreme Core i7 920 and 940. Names aside, performance from all three was extreme compared to [...]

Halloween Wii Dogs Make Us Laugh, Shed Single Tear [Nintendo]

Despite the humiliated faces of these two dogs dressed as a Nintendo Wii and a Wiimote, this photo has had two effects in me. One, it made me chuckle. Two, it made me scramble all over the house looking for cardboard, white paint, black and blue markers, a dog mask, and fur coat (trust me, [...]

I received an email from Steven Finch over at Crenk.com that OpenX, one of the best free ad ad serving software on the Net, has launched an hosted version for people who don’t have the resources to install the program on their servers.
OpenX Hosted beta is the same professional ad management tool used to control [...]

presidential nominee John McCain. On Sunday American forces based in Iraq conducted a raid designed to strike a suspected senior Al Qaeda leader.
Several civilians were killed, prompting the Syrian government to denounce [...]
