We first saw the system used at CES in January, but it's now available in Bloomingdale stores for $170. That price includes an assortment of 14 scenes (with multiple roles); extra scenes cost between 99 cents and $4 at Yoostar.com. You'll be able to perform the script with the characters, or kill them off and do their part yourself.

I had a quick look: no Star Wars! But there are scenes in a number of genres, with titles as diverse as Rocky, Animal House, and even NBA clips.

Of course, you could also do this yourself with a bit of After Effects know-how, but it looks like a fun one for the kids. Windows-only at the moment, but a Mac version is in the works. [Yoostar via Uncrate]

It's good to see that Microsoft hasn't bothered to change the old Windows blue screen; and by good, we mean bad. Isn't it about time to fail a little bit more gracefully? Or at the very least, in a way that actually makes sense to end-users? The error throws up the driver that caused it (way at the bottom of the error) before automatically rebooting, but actually identifying it via which type of component it is—sound, video, USB, hard drive—would be useful for people who just want to know what they did to cause it.

It's a beta, Microsoft, but it's doubtful you have enough time to revamp this BSOD for launch. Maybe by Windows 8?
