Monks Sign Universal Record Deal Thanks to YouTube, Probably God Too

Holy Easter YouTubes! In what many would see as an Unholy Alliance between God and Satan, a group of monks from the Heiligenkreuz Abbey, in the Wienerwald region of Austria, have signed a worldwide music album contract with Universal Music. The label executives found out about the Cistercian monks’ talent—who are the guards of a…

Ultra-Basic Flip Video Camera Steals 13 Percent of Camcorder Market With Its Amazing Low-Light Performance?

The Flip camcorder is about as far from a pro camera as Mario is from an actual plumber. In his (mostly fawning) review of the latest version, David Pogue says that the camera’s major “shocker” is that its low-light capabilities “trump even $1,000 camcorders.” But there’s another one buried in there: It has snagged a…

Telcast M26 PMP has 2.6-Inch Touchscreen, Multiple Codec Support

We’d be lying if we said we weren’t partial to the Telcast M26 PMP, which has a 2.6-inch WQVGA (400×240) display with capacitive touchscreen functionality and supports RMVB, RM, FLV, AVI video codecs, as well as the standard music file formats. The iPod touch-esque styling has us contemplating giving it a chance, not because it’s…

Android PC for Sale on eBay

Isn’t it adorable? Eric Burke is so sweaty, teeth-gnashingly hyped for Google’s Android that he built an Android PC. Powering the bobble head is a VIA NanoBGA C7 processor on a mini-ITX motherboard, and naturally, Ubuntu Linux pre-installed on its 74GB hard drive. You can buy it on eBay with bids hovering around $200 right…

Meizu M8 MiniOne UI Tweaked, Again

A whole week almost elapsed without there being any rework to Meizu’s M8 MiniOne UI, which is so shocking, I almost fell of my chair. Thankfully, it was not to be, as some new images are making the rounds on the old tubes. Update: Apparently, this is just a mockup by the guys at CNMO…

Intel Nettop Pictured in Higher Res, Still Looks Promising

Earlier this week we saw the first alleged shots of Intel’s Nettop UMPC. Well, it looks like evidence for the form factor is further solidifying, as new shots found on Min Thu’s Flickr page show the supposed ultra portable in all its glory. There’s no new info to go on, but we can clearly see…

Eye-Controlled Robot Performs Open Heart Surgery, Makes a Mean Pastrami Sandwich

Right now, the best Doogie Howser-bot around still requires a surgeon to actually go through motions of surgery, making them suffer hand cramps and light perspiration, when they could be sipping lattes or curing cancer. Well, researchers at the Imperial College London are upgrading the Da Vinci surgery robot so operating docs can control it…

Xbox 360 Bill Gates Edition (1 of 1 Limited Apology Run)

A few weeks back, an unlucky Xbox owner shipped off his customized Bungie autographed console to Microsoft’s repair center, and to his horrors they wiped it clean. Bungie resigned a console for him, but now, Microsoft is chiming in with a new console with Bill’s signature on it and hundreds of dollars worth of new…

Sony Rolly Rolls Into FCC, Next Stop Your Heart

Looks like Sony’s living up to their promise to bring its odd little egg of an MP3 player stateside this year. It’s in the middle of its required FCC tour of duty, which means it should be hitting retail here before too long. If the wait’s unbearable, the FCC has plenty to tide you over:…

Z-Flyer Hand Command Robot Lets You Play With Your Hand, Negates Guilt

Here’s an interesting take on RC flying bots; the Z-Flyer Hand Command Robot hovers right above the palm of your hand, wherever that maybe, you dirty devil. The astronaut shuns a conventional remote control, instead relying on your very own hand; how well it will work is questionable, but it is certainly a cool idea.…

Bad Vista “Reviews” from Apple’s Latest Vista Sucks Ad Not Actually Reviews

You’ll probably be seeing Apple’s newest “Vista Sucks, OS X Rules Your Face” ad, starring hilarious John Hodgman and perpetually besmirked Justin Long all over the web soon. Basically, the banner keeps pulling up bad Vista quotes as Hodgman hammers the emergency banner refresh, but neither of them are from actual reviews of Vista—even though…

Robot Drummer Gets More Ass Than Led Zeppelin In The 70’s

Musically inclined hackers too lazy to play drums themselves need to check out this amazing “Yellow Drum Machine”. The robot basically wanders around searching for “playable” surfaces, then creates and combines samples on the fly into rhythms. Possibly the coolest feature is that when it hears your stomping or clapping, it joins in after measuring…
