Rock Band 3: Drums

The changes of the drum, however, are a bit more subtle, as the look and feel remains largely the same. The most substantial change, actually, is how it integrates with add-ons, like the optional cymbal attachments and double kick pedal. Dual kick pedal support is now available straight out of the box through the inclusion of two dedicated kick pedal ports, rather than requiring a splitter adapter. The second kick pedal, when used in Rock Band 3, can also be designated as a second kick drum pedal or a high-hat.

The add-on cymbals have also been tweaked, featuring a new, quieter coating and a more natural downward angle of ten degrees. The sensitivity of the cymbals' built-in sensors has been improved to track strikes more accurately.

Facebook on Friday afternoon investigated what appeared to be a new spam scheme that results in users getting messages from friends over Facebook chat that have malicious links.

The messages say "LOL is this you?" and are followed by a link that appears to be a facebook video but generally sends you to a malicious website and/or 'causes your account to start spamming out the same message. So far it's been fairly minor but things like these can turn into a horrible spam that everyone has to deal with for awhile. Hopefully they fix it soon like when Twitter had the same problem.

Apple Keeps Coming Out With More Stuff I Want To Buy

Apple is hosting another media event on September 1st with new iPod Lines, iTV and $1 tv rentals.

Apparently the event was supposed to be on the 7th but there's a special event being held on the 1st at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, at 10:00 pacific.


I wonder what new fancy goodies Apples come up with now. I've already heard about the iTV but a new iPod line? What more can they do with the iPod to make it different than it already is...

Wizards Would Rather Use Magic to Change their Channels

The Kymera wand buttonless remote control claims no direct affiliation with J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter empire, but there's a reason it's selling like pumpkin pasties on the Hogwarts Express. 
The need for such a product is obvious to anyone who's endured those Hagrid-sized commercial breaks that muck up each and every ABCFamily Very Special Harry Potter Weekend Event. Even couch-bound Muggles like to flip around — you don't need to watch ThinkGeek's awesome product demonstration video (below) to know that!

Opening Your Eyes to a World of Technology, entertainment, and all things electronic

The world is a vastly changing place and a lot of the time these changes pass people by for years.

Not many people know a company called Nexia introduced spider silk weaving into goat genetics. Currently they are working to make the production possible and the silk formed from their findings will be the proportion of a spider's, but scaled up to the size of a goat. Adios Kevlar. A BioSteel is gonna run you out of business.

The Nintendo 3DS will provide 3D layers of visual entertainment to viewer's eyes without the need for glasses.

A micro chip has been made transparently allowing for storage on multiple layers.

There are so many things in this world that are advancing and people don't even notice, so I'm here to make it a lot easier for people to find.
