FILED IN gadgets No Comments

This has been announced last week in Korea and I am surprised that LG sent took a week to send this press release in English, anyway, I am sure that this will change your life, but Ennio Morricone (Once upon a time in the West, Harmonica/ Man With A Harmonica/ Death Rattle, For A Few Dollars More, A Fistful Of Dollars, and my personal favorite My Name is Nobody…) has made a few music and ringtones for LG’s smartphones starting with the Optimus 2X.
LG Electronics (LG) today announced the …

Daft Punk’s TRON-Inspired Music Video

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

This is the video for Daft’s Punk’s first single, ‘Derezzed’, off the TRON: Legacy soundtrack. It’s pretty badass. The song too. Almost enough to make me forget Disney is behind the whole production. Almost. But like another famous mouse once told me, “Here I come to save the day!” Dammit — not you, Mighty. “Where a kid can be a kid?” Close enough, Chuck — TO THE BALL-PIT!

Hit the jump for the very worthwhile song and video. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

Nerdy Music Video: Cosplay With My Heart

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

This is a College Humor produced song and music video entitled ‘Cosplay With My Heart’. It’s supposed to be a parody of some song by Bruno Mars, who I just had to do some research to discover isn’t the super-flamboyant judge from Dancing with the Stars. Hey, you learn something new everyday. Unfortunately, most is just crapola that takes up valuable space in your brain. The more you know (the less you think, so…puree some ginseng in every drink?). If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go play in traffic.

Hit the jump for the song and video, which isn’t particularly good, but neither was this post, so we’re even. Bonus surprise ending. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

The Office Music Democratizer For LastFM & Pandora

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

Office Music Democratizer (Images courtesy BreakfastNY)
By Andrew Liszewski

Office music politics always ends up being either a dictatorship, whether ruled by a local radio station or that guy with the really nice speakers, or a collection of independent states where everyone simply wears headphones and listens to what they want. Neither seem that beneficial to fostering a teamwork mentality, so BreakfastNY created the Office Music Democratizer which gives everyone a vote regarding what they do or don’t like when it comes to music.

Their solution is a light up set of buttons on the wall that allows anyone in the office to either like or dislike the song currently being played by LastFM or Pandora. Hitting the like button increases the song’s rating, while hitting the dislike button immediately causes it to jump to the next track. I can still see this solution as being problematic as haters will readily jump up to skip the current song, but since everyone in the office has the same powers, hopefully it will indeed lead to some manner of democracy among the people.

Did all your music disappear with iOS 4.2? Here’s how to get it back

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

It is as they say: the best laid plans can often go awry. Even the most heavily tested builds of iOS — ones that many thousands of iOS developers Beta tested, and ones that had multiple last minute Gold Master revisions — can have surprise bugs lurking when things go live.

Such is the case with iOS 4.2, which has at least one strange bug in its bed. Upon updating to the just released software, a solid number of users are reporting that their music library has gone missing. Fear not, music lovers! There’s an easy fix.

Turns out, your music isn’t gone. It’s just hiding.

How to get it back:

  1. Connect your iOS device to iTunes over USB
  2. iTunes will show your iOS device’s music library. Pick any song from your iOS device, play it through iTunes.
  3. Now that the play count has changed, the Sync button can be clicked. Click the Sync button.
  4. Open the iPod application on the iOS device. It’ll rebuild your music library, and you’ll be gettin’ all Fergilicious in no time.

Shout out to AppleZilla on the Apple forums for figuring out this quick fix, and Jeremy for bringing it to our attention. s
