Synth pioneer Roger Linn shows us his new analog drum machine, Tempest (video)

We were wandering around the crowded, noisy halls of this year’s NAMM show when a particularly freaked-out drum pattern struck our eardrums. We followed the sound and encountered a gray-haired, bespectacled gentleman tapping and tweaking knobs so prof…

Samsung Orion dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip spotted in the wild

Explaining The Entire Plot Of Kick-Ass Just Makes Us Want To See It More [Kick-ass]

The new Kick-Ass trailer is out, and it pretty much narrates the entire film — which only makes us more desperate to fill in the ultra-violent, blatantly wrong and nasty blanks. Plus the A-Team trailer has turned up online too.

Here’s the new Kick-Ass trailer — you can watch it in high res over at Yahoo! Movies.

And the A-Team trailer turned up online earlier today. Like James Bond and MacGyver, The A-Team takes place in a world of slightly fantastic technologies, but I'm not sure it's quite science-fictional enough for us — on the other hand, as reader Chris Hunt points out, it does have a tank flying through the sky. Anyway, judge for yourself. It's no longer online in an embeddable format, but here’s a non-embeddable version on Youtube. (Thanks OMGWTFLOLBBQBYE!)

After giving Acer’s Aspire One HD playback capabilities that it could only dream of just months prior, the company’s newly announced Crystal HD platform could provide Intel’s Atom N450 with the multimedia boost it badly needs. The nitty-gritty details are still being withheld, but we’re told that “top-tier OEMs including Asus, Dell and Samsung” will be slapping this into their upcoming N450-based netbooks. If you’re curious as to why you should care, the BCM70015 promises “near flawless” HD video playback, including support for Flash Player 10.1 and Blu-ray flicks. We’re told to expect it to start popping up in forthcoming machines throughout 2010, and if you’re looking to soak up anything else in the meanwhile, a promotional video awaits you after the break.
