This is the current best thing I've ever seen as of this moment. It's a computer case shaped like Bender from Futurama. It's so awesome. It looks great. The page is in a language that isn't English, but "neste side" means "next page" so that's all you'll need to know. Here's the last page in case you just want to see the finished product. It's made out of metal and it looks like the eyes light up. And there's a real computer inside.

The iLog is exactly what it sounds like, a log shaped MP3 player. I wish those videos worked. That would've sold me on it probably.

Another great MIT project, the USB Dance Floor is made up of 1536 LEDs and displays 4096 colors and is controlled through USB. Watch a video of it here. Turn on your sound, turn off the lights, and bust out your glowsticks for the full effect. Oh yeah, watch the video too.

Cingular will release ringtones of songs before the songs play on the radio. How dumb is that? Now you have to be annoyed by other peoples ringtones and you won't even know the song yet. Engadget also says that people pay more for a 30 second ringtone than they do for an actual song. Seriously, people, paying money for a ringtone? Cut that out or the phone carriers will start making you pay for even more things that you don't need. You do know that full length songs can be gotten for 99 cents each, right? This is also why the phone carriers won't let you copy music to your cell phone. Of course it's possible, but they'd rather make you buy a song once for your computer and again for your phone. I beg you, don't fall for it! If you pay money for stupid cell phone downloads like music and wallpapers then the companies know you're willing to pay for other useless junk. This is also why the carriers cripple bluetooth, so you'll have to pay for their wireless Internet service to send email instead of just connecting to your computer and sending it from there. Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't think of some useless junk to sell to you.

While I'm on the subject, who really uses those services where you get hip hop ringers? I keep seeing those commercials where you text message a phone number and they send you back a 2pac ringtone or whatever else you want. Those are the most annoying commercials that I keep seeing currently. I feel like every channel I watch plays them. I didn't realize it was that popular. But seriously, everyone stop buying ringtones.

Verizon's CEO says it's unreasonable for customers to expect their cell phones to work in homes. He also says it's not Verizon's responsibility to inform customers of what to expect in cell phone coverage.
