Self-tuning guitars to appear soon

Tuning a guitar can be quite a pain in the ass, but Gibson Guitar could soon relegate that inconvenience to a thing of the past. Dubbed the "Powertune" system, it features piezoelectric sensors that are mounted right below the strings designated for the tuning process. These tuning pickups are connected to digital signal-processing electronics within the guitar body itself.

As the strings are played, the Powertune processor compares their actual frequencies with the desired notes and sends instructions — tighten the string this much, loosen the string by that much — to tuning pegs equipped with strong, tiny servo motors mounted on the back of the guitar's head. Because onstage interference could potentially degrade a wireless signal, the system uses the strings themselves to send the signal.

What do you think of this development? Is it a godsend for folks who use different tunings for different songs, or is it plainly an inexcusable crutch for sloppy players?

Quake on Nokia N800

Who can forget the opening sounds of Quake, with the growl of the ogre, the roar of its chainsaw, and the lone Ranger avoiding some grenades? You can now carry that visceral FPS experience with you on your Nokia N770/N800 Internet Tablet. The installation process could be quite tricky, but we all know just how dedicated Quake fans are, so a little tweaking to get around this problem is no biggie. It isn't the final build at this point in time, but it looks extremely close to a polished version. Still wonder how you're going to achieve a rocket jump with such controls without looking awkward.
