WVIL’s unbelievable 31 megapixel cameraphone is unbelievably fake, attempts pathetic viral campaign
January 12, 2011 No Comment
Honestly, we never thought people could get this high and drunk in Vegas, but the guys from WVIL were really pushing it. Their crime? A blatantly staged viral campaign for an “unbelievable” smartphone that sports a 31 megapixel CMOS full frame sensor. Oh, and it has an interchangeable lens, too, with which you can use the main body as a wireless viewfinder (like the Samsung SH100 paired up with an Android phone). Nice concept, WVIL, just too bad your mom called to disown you at CES. Video after the break.

Click here to view this media Project much Bill? Pundit calls liberal criticism of Palin a ‘disgrace,’ compares to ‘McCarthyism’ : During an appearance on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Bill Kristol of the conservative-leaning Weekly Standard magazine called the criticism of the former Alaska governor “a disgrace.” He said there is no proof that Jared Loughner, the suspect, was a fan of Palin or went to her website, which had labeled Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and other Democrats a political target last year; it was illustrated with a graphic of crosshairs that has triggered a political debate. Federal authorities on Sunday filed murder charges against Loughner. Kristol said those who are blaming Palin, such as Paul Krugman of The New York Times, are practicing “McCarthyism.” “The attempt to exploit this tragedy is distasteful,” Kristol said. He added that both parties have used words like “targets” in seeking to win political campaigns. And Loughner doesn’t appear to have been involved in partisan politics, he said. Yeah, well Bill, they weren’t using them at the same time they were saying to “reload” either, were they?

January 11, 2011 No CommentChris Matthews, joined by two liberal talk radio hosts on Tuesday's Hardball, essentially blamed the likes of conservative hosts like Mark Levin for creating the climate of hate that led to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords with the envious MSNBC host proclaiming: “People like Mark Levin, Michael Savage…every time you listen to them are furious, furious at the left with anger that's just builds and builds in their voice and by the time they go to commercial, they're just in some rage, every night, with ugly talk…. They must have an audience. I looked at the numbers today. They have big audiences! And I guess that's the question. Why and is it ever going to stop if it keeps working?” Before that Matthews rant, Philadelphia area radio host Michael Smerconish coined a word in his attack on conservative radio as he claimed to see “A direct causal connection between all…the hatriolic comments and the shooting incident” and later, referring to a scene he saw at town hall

If any instrument deserves to be geeked over, it is the pipe organ . Over the course of its almost 2,000 years of development, it has evolved from the rudimentary Greek water organ to the extremely complex device featured in cathedrals and concert halls all over the world. And this is all well and good, but what is an aspiring (or accomplished) organist to do when he wants to practice yet doesn’t have access to Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois in Paris? Well, he might go ahead and build your own — at least that’s what an Engadget reader named Rob Stefanussen did. The heart of the thing is a Mac Pro running Hauptwerk’s Virtual Organ, and while the software is pretty impressive itself, what caught our attention was the baroque MIDI controller he built to play the thing. Featuring four keyboards, a pedalboard, pistons, and expression shoes, this thing plays like the real deal. And not to be undone in the sound department, he threw in six speakers and A sub-woofer, routing different sets of pipes to the different speakers to let the sound mix in the air for that authentic pipe organ sound. Wild, no? How would you like to hear it in action? Check out the video after the break to see (and hear) it for yourself.
