The idea behind Microsoft Songsmith is simple: people love to sing. We love singing more than we love playing instruments. How do I know this? Here’s how: How many people do you know play the guitar while taking a bath?

I knew it. After this ominous sighting, we now have concrete proof that the stories that our chubby, white-bearded forefather told us were just that: mere stories.  Know this: The Sith Lord is upon us. He’s not in a galaxy far, far away.

Weird gadget time! This USB-powered fan has LEDs on its blades that can display colorful patterns or one of more than 30 preset text messages. Why more than 30? I don’t know. What’s it called? The “USB 30+ Light Show Fan.”

I hope the person who took this shot wasn’t blastered to bits. Drive it like you stole it dude. The Sith Lord can’t be far behind. [via Neatorama]

I think Gomez and Morticia should get this robotic hand piano to keep Thing company. Like Thing, the robotic hand piano doesn’t talk. Actually it can’t talk. Anyway, although it can’t talk, it can play classical music.

Proving once again why they call themselves America’s Finest News Source, The Onion have exclusive footage of the next illogical step in the evolution of the keyboard. Of course the best way to get exclusive news is to fabricate it.

Bloggers/photographers/tiny mecha manufacturers Lenny & Meriel take cold and complicated computer innards and turn them into something heartwarming: Sparebots. The photo above is captioned, “I think we should try a 5.” Awwww. And that’s a robot dog that poops lead.

I can see how this could be fun, but if you show this to a Star Wars geek he’ll probably shake his head, gather his robes and walk away. Some guy who looks like a mugger took 2 glow sticks, put them together with a link chain and voila!

Do you think you can be the next Leinil Yu, or the next Steve McNiven, or the next Dave Gibbons?  If you think so, then good luck. I hope you succeed. I have nothing else to say to you.

It is said that Jesus is the King of Kings, and that three kings visited him when he was born. So what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to plaster a huge strip of bacon – made from The Meat of Kings (try it with onion rings) –  on your screen while you’re surfing?

Now I’ve seen some wacky commercials out of Japan, but this one is one of the more off-the-wall ad campaigns I’ve seen in a long while. These promotional clips for Takara Tomy’s new Xiao digital camera / printer hybrid drives the point home that the pocket size camera can output its own tiny photo prints – apparently by pooping them out.

Quick survey! Which would you prefer? Sparkly albino vampire vs. dirty raggedy vampire baseball, or Jedi vs. Sith baseball? In other words, are you a young girl or are you an old nerd? Don’t say “both”.
