Store your valuables in a head of lettuce and chuck it in the fridge! I know its pretty lame, but you'll thank me later. They are available here for about $50 USD.

Robot DJ - can we be replaced?

When PC's came out, many people wondered if they would lose their jobs to a computer. I wonder how many DJ's are going to be scared by this monster. It looks freaky but I guess someone has put together two robotic arms that will pick up records and place them under needles while manipulating their spin, back and forth, it is able to somewhat scratch the records. From the samples I heard, no DJ has actually given any input because it sounds like a four year old has hit the decks. There was no beatmatching and the scratching is very slow. A giant waste of time in my opinion, but hey, look Mom, I made a robot DJ!

Cisco sues Apple

Word on the street is Cisco owned the name "iPhone" back in 2000 - and just a few weeks ago came out with their own "iPhone". Apparently Cisco has sued Apple over the naming issue. I'm not sure what is going to happen since Apple seems to name their stuff "i-something"...hmmm we will leave that up to the lawyers to decide. In the mean time, to shove it back in the face of Apple, Cisco took out a full page add in the New York Times shown above. Booooooom!
