Midterm elections are upon us and of course CNN has new technology to deliver every result, after the holograms and multitouch display madness ( lampooned brilliantly by Saturday Night Live ) of 2008 , Wolf Blitzer and crew have gone to iPads and augmented reality. Check the video after the break to see how Ali Velshi uses his tablet to make non-diegetic stats and graphs appear right in the studio with him, Fringe / Panic Room style. We can’t imagine life without the yellow first down marker during football games, but watching anchors play hide-and-seek behind bar graphs is either taking things a step too far, or just the thing help us stay interested in politics a little longer.

Revue owners, have you been frustrated by some of the framerate issues? We hear ya, as do Google and Logitech. The latter said in an official post earlier today that an over-the-air update would arrive to fix such an issue, and like that, our Google TV box prompted us to download a 163MB file denoted update 39953. We’ve heard from a number of tipsters, too, who claim to have received the patch. Will this fix all the stuttering? We’re hearing mostly yeas in that regard, so don’t be shy, give the set-top another go — and let us know if you see anything else that’s new or improved.

He was polling way ahead going into Election Day, so it’s not a shocker, but his victory might be considered the biggest triumph—so far—for the tea party. It’s going to be a long night.

Fender has come clean with the price and release date of its Squier-branded Stratocaster for Rock Band 3 will hit the road on March 1st for just a penny shy of $280. The six-stringed warrior — which also serves as a MIDI controller and a real instrument — has far and away been our favorite method of playing the rhythm game’s new pro guitar mode, and though the button-laden Mustang is available now for just over half the price, it really doesn’t compare to the real thing here. Even the January 1st pre-order seems a ways off — guess we’ll be brushing up on our keytar skills in the meantime.
