In Future News: Science Plays the Guitar [Video]

It’s official. We no longer need you and your guitar lessons, we now have science.

Leave it to the Japanese for finding out how to get laid in high school without having any discernible talent. They invented the PossessedHand, which can only be described as a device that can “move your fingers into the proper positions to play musical instruments.” Yes, we needed one of those. Because learning to play the guitar the traditional way was just too hard.

How it works, complete with video, after the jump!

Getting To Know the New Apple iCloud

You might as well get to know the Apple iCloud, since it’s being deemed the next big thing. Remember when you said the iPod had no legs and the iPhone was going to sink? Well, don’t lose out on this new… gadget.

What is the Apple iCloud, you ask? Really, we have no idea. But, from what little we do know it’s probably going to be huge.

Details:

The new iCloud service replaces Apple’s MobileMe document-sharing offering, which cost $99 a year. The new iCloud service is free and available now with an iOS 4.3 update, Jobs said. With iCloud, content such as music and documents is stored on large servers instead of on personal hard drives—and is accessible from anywhere through the Internet. Apple will provide 5 gigabytes of free storage for mail, documents and backup. The new iCloud service is Apple’s seal of approval of what many experts believe is the next major iteration of the digital world.

Sounds simple enough. Or does it? The imagery is great, thinking about all your files, your music, and your e-mails living in the clouds is fantastic as far as we’re concerned.

The Guardian UK took some time to answer some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the iCloud. Such questions as: Why?

Because whereas 10 years ago Steve Jobs talked about the personal computer being the “digital hub”, Apple now thinks that cloud computing is going to be the hub, because it has diversified its product range – iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod Touch – so that you don’t necessarily need a “PC” to do the tasks that previously needed the power of a CPU on your desk.

There you have it. Again, get to know the iCloud because it seems as if you’re likely to own one — or two.
