The LA Philharmonic has a brand new Guitar Hero-inspired conducting game that lets you pretend to be music director Gustavo Dudamel. It's available on iPhone and on the Web.

Yves Béhar's seven-hour vibrator
Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature. The Form 2 takes a two-pronged approach to the vibrator, giving its user what they're calling "Sensation in Stereo.... More.

My vote for idiotic statement of the month:
"Dudamel is a testament, a wave which washes away the stench of useless classical snobbery that inhibits the art and disgraces its majestic composers"

That's just sad. But I bet thousands of the Jesus Phone owners will download it, use it once, and forget it.
