Making Your Own Music, Even if You Can't Play a Note. If you like music and want to make your own even if you can't play an instrument, get Mad - a MadPlayer, that is. The new MadPlayer by MadWaves is an addictive, pocket-size recording studio, MP3 player and FM radio that packs a library of 600 musical instruments and sounds into a device slightly larger than a Game Boy video game player. It can instantly create and spin out original songs in a variety of musical styles including rhythm and blues, hip-hop, New Age, techno and reggae. By J.d. Biersdorfer. [New York Times: Technology]

Sounds pretty cool, but I've always mistrust great technology coming from unknown companies... Is it available?

On top of that is uses USB, not even sure if it is USB 2.0 and smart media cards... Can you say Last Century?

I think this product will be a flop ghost...

Six Degrees of Elvis. Enter the name of any actor and see how many links he or she is from Elvis. I thought I'd stump it by entering Toshiro Mifune, but he has an Elvis number of 2. I also tried Traci Lords; she has an Elvis number of 2, too. (Thanks, Sean!) [Boing Boing Blog]
