Definitely a weird and useless computer mod for me, the PC Piano that is currently making its round in eBay has caught the attention of many geeks. Just when the PC and Mac worlds are developing mini-computers, here comes the computer piano. It’s not a piano connected to a computer but rather a computer installed inside a piano. Whoever did this must love music so much that he’d choose a piano over an ordinary computer table. The 1904 Chickering piano was made into a Windows XP computer with an impressive 26″ LCD panel,1GB RAM, and 500GB of hard drive space.Buy Now price at eBay is US $19,998.00. I wonder when this will sell and who will be the weird one to really buy such.

Well, it’s not like you didn’t already know that robotics would take over your hummables and guitars too, and then again this concept wasn’t as alien to us as robots taking over receptionist jobs right? So as much as this was bound to happen, it is sheer craziness to drown the beauty of playing the guitar by making it so automatic and mechanical. On a less philosophical note, The Gibson Robot Guitar, to be more precise can supposedly tune all six strings. I still think it’s a waste of time, but then again there are those rich mistresses who are going to consider this just the most romantic gift. Read more
Transformers: The Japanese way of throwing surprises

Now, considering that Japan is soon to become synonymous with innovation and creativity with all the cool stuff that the Japanese intelligentsia keep coming up with day after day, it’s nothing but obvious that if real transformers existed, they had to be in Japan. Well, the fact is that it’s true, well, at least partly. The robot you see above, from a Japanese robotic competition, can actually transform from car mode to robot mode…cool init? It’s great to have a slice of a great movie in real life, and this one’s sure going to be something you dig as it’s of a movie that was as cool as it could get. Of course its as tiny as a robot could possibly be, but what would actually set this apart from being a regular, commercial or rather popular item is the lack of funding and of course the fact that something 10 times the size of this could not be cool, I guess just plain scary.
