It is unfortunate for me to inform the community that we will no longer offer Free Friday salsa lessons.

I was in a nine year relationship with Salsa before I left her for Bachata. Don't worry, Salsa and I are still good friends, but this isn't about Salsa, this is about my love affair with Bachata.

Bachata Crossovers produces Bachata bootcamps and workshops all around the world. Bachata X (Crossovers) will be at the Miraido Studio on February 21, Sunday, 2010 from 1:00pm to 8:00pm.

FREE SALSA EVENT BEFORE 9PM, $3 COVER AFTER 9PM, FREE SALSA LESSONS & DANCING, GUEST DJ's PLUS DRINK SPECIALS @ AZUCAR'S AKA DIABLO'S LATIN BISTRO & MOJITOS

Whatever you've gotten or are getting for Christmas this season (and man, I hope it isn't canned goods) just throw it away. Put it right in the trash. Because it's not going to be this I-Sobot programmable toy robot, and the incredible homemade arsenal it wields. This video of five minutes of the I-Sobot just kicking styrofoam cup and plastic toy dinosaur ass. I mean, it starts out amazing when he fires the bow and arrow without even looking at the target, but by the time the sniper rifle and the interceptor missile came around, I was weeping with joy, just to know it exists and that I saw it in action, but also sadness, because I know that I will personally never own this, the greatest toy of all time. Infinite thanks to Clarence for the tip.

If HTC’s release schedule is any indication, 2010 smartphones will feature sexier hardware, including brighter AMOLED displays, 1GHz processors, and built-in cameras that will capture HD-ready video.

How do you spice up the traditionally unexciting projector market? You take your finest laser projector, with its "infinite focus" skills, pair it with a weapon-styled motion controller, and you offer FPS gamers the opportunity to get out of their seats and perform their murdering sprees as nature intended. So Microvision thinks, and we've no doubt that the prototype being demonstrated over at the Intel Extreme Masters will be fulfilling a few fanboy dreams, but we're more interested in how it all works. If you remember the GameGun (and who could forget that mullet?), this'll be familiar territory: the projector reacts to movements of the controller so that the game view tracks your real world view, lending the experience a bona fide 3D feel. Microvision won't spill the full details just yet, but a video demo awaits past the break.

Crazy huh? Sure, but if your company just launched a commercial vacuum cleaner so quiet that it's called the "UltraSilencer" then what better way to drive that point home than by adding an "iPod dock" (though that's no iPod we've ever seen) and speakers to the damn thing? In fact, Electrolux has taken this Silence Amplified concept so far that they've conducted a lab study to prove that "music assisted vacuuming increases the number of nozzle sweeps, improves the cleaning result and leaves a general feeling of happiness." Duh. Now go check the video evidence after the break.

We've been waiting for what feels like an eternity for wireless HD to really have a place in the world (outside of the elite home cinema world, that is), and while the dream definitely took a hit with the FlyWire's death, it sounds as if things may be rounding the ever-present corner.
