Synth Britannia: As If Ken Burns Were To Explain Autotune

BBC4’s Synth Britannia was a sufficiently comprehensive look into the electronic music of postpunk Britain, from the pioneering soundtrack to “A Clockwork Orange” by Wendy Carlos, to experimental groups like OMD, Throbbing Gristle, and early Human League… on to the pop greats that were my first real introduction to synth music, Depeche Mode and New…

Warning: Wearing These Star Wars Baseball Caps May Be Dangerous for Your Health

80 freaking dollars for a golden baseball cap that will make you look like a sexually-confused British android? Oh well, I’m game. But I prefer the $104 Chewie, because it comes with furry earmuffs—totally worth the extra $24: Yes, definitely Chewbacca, although R2-D2 is not too shabby either. Whatever you choose, this is a perfect…

I hear a lot about those damned netbooks as hot buys this season, but Prof. Dealzmodo suggests getting something that’s actually, you know…useful. HTPCs baby.

Massaging Your Face With Ice: As Relaxing as Getting Pegged with a Snowball

Two problems with this product: A, cold on your face is not pleasant, as proven by the horribleness of getting whitewashed in the playground. And B, getting your face massaged sounds stupid. No thanks, Ice Face Massage Roller. [CraziestGadgets]

Fusion Garage JooJoo Tablet Hands-On

From the webcast yesterday, the JooJoo (previously named Crunchpad) seemed flimsy and barely working.

Our Century of Fallout: Every Nuclear Detonation, Mapped

Everyone’s got a notion of how the last century went, in terms of nuclear explosions. There was Hiroshima, then Nagasaki. There were some nuclear tests out in the desert, and the ocean. But would you believe there’ve been over 2000? In this map, which takes into account all the documented nuclear tests since 1945, two…

Does Iron Man 2 = Spider-Man 3?

Instead of being excited about another Iron Man movie, should we be concerned that it’s going to be another over-stuffed, disorganized mess like Spider-Man 3? One British journalist thinks so, worryingly enough. The Guardian’s Stuart Heritage thinks that what we already know about the second Iron Man movie sounds worryingly familiar: This time Iron Man…

Kind of nice: If you buy 200GB of Google storage for $50, you’ll get a free 4GB Eye-Fi card. Since the card’s $60, you could also look at it as “buy an Eye-Fi card, get 200GB of Google storage.” All in all, it’s pretty simple. Just sign in with your Google account, drop in your…

It still seems strange, on the face of it. iTunes is the ginormousest force in digital music, beaming out billions of bits a day.
