Oh sure, there's bound to be
some protrusion when shoving a retro console into a gaming handheld, but inelegant styling was a
way of life for Sega back in the mid-90s. Modder Chris Koopa has achieved the impossible by stuffing an Atari 2600 (or the important parts, anyway) along with 40 games into a hacked up Game Gear and enabling it to operate for nearly a full workday with just five AA batteries. And yeah, there's totally a 2600 cartridge slot to allow for playback of original titles. You know you're oddly interested in seeing more, so tap the read link for a few shots from the rear / side.

Many may still be scratching their heads at why exactly
Blockbuster decided to
delve head first into the world of
digital downloads this late in the game with such a weak (on paper, anyway) offering. CEO Jim Keyes recently sat down with
E-Commerce News to clarify a few things, and here's the skinny. For starters, it's not using a pure "streaming" method on the
MediaPoint; instead, it's using a "progressive download" in hopes of improving the quality of the experience for those without a pure, continuous connection. Next, it's solely relying on an à la carte way of delivering films in order to bring new releases to the home faster, and if you've taken a look at
Netflix's online availability of those very titles, you'll start to see the difference. Potentially most revealing were his quotes on future endeavors, where he candidly admits that its download services will be coming to undisclosed Blu-ray players "by the first quarter of next year." Whether or not the public will actually view that as a selling point, however, remains to be seen.

Sadly (very, very sadly, in fact), this isn't the
first device we've
seen that poorly attempts to mix your iPod into a karaoke-type device, which probably means you'll be glancing right over it. Memorex's recently released
SingStand MKS-SS1 Microphone and Speaker System was apprehended and photographed by the iPod fanatics at
iLounge, and while the powered speaker base, auxiliary input for an additional microphone / instrument and the audio controls were swell, the lackluster iPod integration sort of left the critic wondering why Cupertino's darling was even associated. And seriously, are you really considering spending $70 on this with
Guitar Hero: World Tour and
Rock Band 2 widely available and able to satisfy your off-key singing desires? No, no you are not.

With
Black Friday a thing of the past and the holiday season rapidly approaching, you want to hook up
everyone you know with something nice. Amazon's trying to make that a bit easier on the wallet by offering up refurbished Kindles for $329 straight up -- a first for the funky little ebook reader. While it's not as much of a price reduction as we would have liked, it is a start, but with new devices and pricing rumored for
early 2009, to us it just seems like too little, too late.

While robots have certainly been around for a spell doing things like
sweeping your floors and
conducting symphonies, up till now they haven't been "human enough" to replace actual people. According to a new report from the National Intelligence Council, however, they should be up to the task by 2025. The report goes as far as saying that an influx of robo-workers could even "disrupt unskilled labor markets" and occupy jobs currently performed by migrant workers and hapless high school students. Additionally, the report asserts that new technologies could be used to augment human abilities as well, taking on jobs such as
caring for the elderly. Unfortunately, the report had no word on the progress of synthetic saliva glands for the inevitable robo-waiter, so no need to fret -- yet.
