Dollhouse Proves The Rich Really Are Different

Last Friday’s Dollhouse pushed the show’s messed-up preoccupations one step further: now not only can your life be erased at the push of a button, but select, wealthy people can have eternal life.

Shimon Robot Takes Over Jazz As Doomsday Gets a Bit More Musical

It’s over. Improvisational jazz was the last, robot-free area humans had left, and now it’s tainted by the machines. Even so, you have to admit the tech driving this jazzy robot is pretty amazing. At least they’ll be able to carry a tune as we march into the slave pits, amiright? As you’ll see in…

Dutch Noteboek Film Gives Geeky, Gadgety Life To Simple Pen and Paper

Remember a-ha’s Take On Me? for some reason, that’s what immediately jumped to mind when I viewed Dutch artist Evelien Lohbeck‘s pen and paper made real Noteboek video. Child of the 80’s, indeed. This is far cooler, of course, as Lohbeck’s imagination has given life to mere paper. A notebook becomes a laptop, which plays…

Want to know how much screen time William Shatner commanded in Star Trek? Or how little Chekov received, for that matter? Carnegie Mellon has you covered, as it has “face mined” the entire series.

Have We Seen Bruce Wayne’s End Before? (Spoilers)

The final part of Neil Gaiman‘s Batman story, Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader, hit stores this Wednesday, featuring an unusual final fate for Bruce Wayne.

Sanyo CY-SPG226 Battery-Assists Your Lazy Butt For Up To 85km

Sanyo’s Eneloop label, known for Wii charging stations and batteries, is taking cycling for a spin with the CY-SPG226 battery-assisted bicycle.
