Super Mario Bros. played with eyes closed, what can mankind achieve next?

Filed under: Gaming
We saw Mark play Mario with his feet a couple months ago, but s00pcan was unimpressed: he can navigate everyone’s favorite plumber through the first two levels of Super Mario Bros. with his eyes closed. He claims he can do 1-4 now as well, but all he’s got for proof is the first […]

Filed under: Home Entertainment, Portable Audio, Portable Video
We caught a glimpse of Altec Lansing’s iMV712 audio / video iPod superdock during CES, but they haven’t been available until today.

Apparently, scientists can use relatively standard medical equipment in order to “stimulate […]
