We all know iTunes is a pretty bloated piece of software, and that Apple hasn’t done much about that. Tobias Reich over on Dribbble has created a fantastic mockup for what iTunes on OS X Lion should look like — clean, simple and compact. There are a few issues like the lack of more complex features, and so little space limits the amount of information that can be displayed, but overall it looks fantastic!
Two years after Bethesda adds the third installment to a classic PC franchise, New Vegas sneaks up on us and returns us to the post-apocalyptic lands of the Fallout universe. Trading Washington DC for Sin City, Fallout: New Vegas gives you a ton of bang for your buck and improves many of the aspects originally seen in Fallout 3. Well, except its stability and insane amount of bugs. Those are still here in full force!
It’s still a good price, but if the Kinect really costs just $56 to make, why is it $150? This is surpassing Apple-like margins and seems just plain ridiculous. Microsoft claimed that the Kinect cost close to the retail price, but a recent report by the EETimes, The Kinect probably costs around $56 bones to make, and that means Microsoft is lining their pockets with $93 per unit sold.

Not only the craziest theory in the world, but the most awesome! Necropanspermia is the theory that zombie-like cells created life on earth, by traveling through space on debris, dying on our planet, and then repair themselves to create life. According to astrophysicist Paul S. Wesson, this is a very strong theory, but he can’t explain how the zombie cells’ repair mechanisms would work. Although this is theory is very interesting, Necropanspermia still has major holes in it’s logic — io9 has some more info.
If this doesn’t make you proud to be a geek, you don’t have a soul. Héctor, the guy who hacked the Kinect for the first time, has managed to track the edges of a box with… you guessed it, lasers! This is truly a testament to why big companies like Apple and Microsoft are somewhat against Open Source — they would be competing with their own customers!
