This is pretty stupid but kind of funny too:Deck the Halls sung by 64 iPhones. It's kind of amazing that they got them singing in sync. But you know what's even better? They are donating $0.05 (3p) per view to charity.
Holy Optimus Prime this is one gorgeous instrument, and not just because it's shaped like the seal of the Autobots. What better way to celebrate the future of mechanical warfare than with a made-to-order ukulele.
In the popular imagination, spies and gadgets go together like strawberries and cream. The reality of spying is probably much more mundane, involving stacks of paperwork and the occasional bit of lying to a state official. But when it comes to books, films and games, we've been trained to expect state-of-the-art tech that's also wildly impractical. A Large Hadron Collider concealed in a hair-dryer, for example.
If you're after Apple-compatible earphones that have a mic, volume and call/end buttons but won't break the bank, the Klipsch Image S4is have been the favourite of many for some time. Now the company has brought that same Apple-compatibility to a pair Active Noise Control cans, which are now available in the UK.
Was 2011 a memorable year for the movies? I didn't think so until I watched this 5 minute video of 230 films that released this year. So exciting! So fun! The full list of movies used in the clip in the order they appear can be found here.
Feather knives. Jelly grenades. Bread knuckles and popsicle dynamite! I would love to live in a fairy tale world where weapons are fanciful and probably edible. These weapons were created by awesome designer Kyle Bean for CUT Magazine.
There aren't many things more dull than watching the proverbial paint dry -- so why not turn it into an endurance competition? Watching paint dry will be the everyman's sport; weedy, short, fat or just plain inferior, it will matter not as long as you can fix your gaze and stay the distance.
Nokia's doing a limited release of a special Dark Knight Rises edition of the Lumia 800. There are only 40 being made with the laser etched logo on the back, so unfortunately you're not going to be able to trot down to your local Phones 4U to pick one up. But the eagle-eyed Jon Choo managed to sneak a few shots ahead of the Batman preview in London today.
As if I couldn't hate my ISP any more, boffins at the SuperComputing 2011 conference set a new internet speed record transferring data with a combined rate of 186 Gbps, 67 Gbps faster than the previous record set in 2009.
Although iOS does many things really well, its multitasking UI is not one of them. The iPad's gesture support makes things much better, but on the iPhone, it's just clunky. As it just so happens, Apple has brought on someone with a few ideas on how to improve that.
Windows Phone evangelist Ben Rudolph, with endorsement from Microsoft, is asking Android users to explain their #droidrage on Twitter. That is, to explain how Android malware has screwed Android users over. If people's stories are epic enough, Microsoft will give away free Windows Phones.
After rumours, sketches and leaked shots, the LG Prada 3.0 has finally been unveiled. With its 4.3-inch WVGA "NOVA" display, 8.5mm profile and Prada-styled Android skin, it's certainly a looker. Whether that's your thing or not, it's not all looks and no substance. It's powered by a dual-core 1GHz TI chip, and packs both a 1.3MP front-facing snapper for video calling, and a rear 8MP camera for point-and-shoot replacement duties.
The video above is your only clue. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: find this signed and authenticated print of Banksy's "No Ball Games" within the next 30 days at one of the Art Series hotel chains—snatch it without getting nabbed and it's yours to keep. The piece is stashed somewhere in the Melbourne area and worth $15,000AU.
Motorola's second attempt at a decent Android tablet certainly reeks of the original Xoom -- even the box states "this time around we've even beefed-up the battery life". But is the sequel a real winner or is it just another also-ran?
