They may not get much time in the Grammy spotlight, but in honor of the mixers and shakers who make music worth listening to, here are 11 epic past and present soundboards, mixing…

He once washed dishes full-time in a Connecticut trailer park. Now he uploads videos that break the 5,000,000-view mark in under three weeks. But when Casey Neistat isn't leaping into a sinkhole in Oman or stealing his own bike on the streets of NYC, he's busy working in this obsessively organized, fully functional,…

Dell's got a mini PC on the way dubbed the Studio Hybrid, and judging by the blurry spy shots it looks a lot like the "Green" PC that launched, without details, earlier in the year. The clear orange case looks like something you'd find in a European nightclub, but we can't complain about the 320GB HDD, 4GB RAM, five…
