Prepare your ears for this bad ass Imperial March mashup from Ithaca Audio featuring samples from various sources—including Shaft.
Believe it or not, it actually works really well. Check it out after the break.
I’m a huge Walking Dead fan—which is why I jumped at the chance to review The audiobook version of The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor from Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga. I figured that it would help tide me over until the second season premiere.
The question is, does the The Walking Dead storyline work as novel?
Haven’t had enough Angry Birds yet? I’m sure a backlash is on the horizon, but in the meantime a speaker series is on the way from gear4.
Despite the red bird having a reputation for being useless, the speaker is actually quite functional. Both the red bird and bomber bird versions have the ability to connect to a mobile device with an auxiliary cable. It also comes with a separate iPhone/iPod/iPad dock. The green pig version, on the other hand, has a built-in helmet dock for the iPod/iPhone.
Look for the speakers to be released later this fall for $79.99-$99.99.

I wouldn’t say it’s enough to make up for the disappointment many feel after the grounding of NASA’s shuttle program, but free ringtones are free ringtones!
NASA has made historic sound bites like Neil Armstrong’s “The Eagle has landed” and Apollo 13′s “Houston, we’ve had a problem” available for download to cellphones and computers to be used as ringtones, alarms and notifications.
“NASA has been making historic sounds for over 50 years,” Jerry Colen, NASA App project manager at the agency’s Ames Research Center, said in statement. “Now we’re making some of these memorable sounds easy to find and use.”
NASA claims the sounds will be updated regularly and they can be downloaded here in MP3 and M4R (iPhone) formats.

Do you call yourself a gamer? Ever played a classic arcade game? How about Dungeons and Dragons? What about growing up in the 80′s or having a healthy appreciation of the Big Hair Decade? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are going to truly enjoy Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It will have you nostalgic for Duran Duran, your old neon socks and acid washed jeans within a few pages. But even if you aren’t a fan of the 80′s, there is still a genuinely engaging story here that will keep you guessing right through to the end.
If you are looking to get a serious home theater or stereo setup without spending a fortune, check out the review after the break. These Orb speakers might be exactly what you are looking for.
Bluetooth headsets get a bad rap, but that’s probably because they aren’t normally emblazoned with Star Wars and Star Trek imagery. Actually, they might be nerdier and douchier than before now, but whatever…Star Trek and Star Wars Bluetooth headsets!
Indeed, these new headsets from Earloomz come in five nerdy varieties: Live Long and Prosper for Star Trek and Boba Fett, The Dark Duel, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker for Star Wars. Check out the rest of the lineup after the break.

Generally speaking, Dungeons & Dragons rarely translates to romance in the real world, but if it ever did this could be the song you played to your beloved out of a boombox you were holding up over your head.
The song is from an aptly titled band called The Doubleclicks. The art is from Brad Jonas.
Check out the video after the break.
