I love the Buddha Machine, a little plastic ambient music generator that looks like a transitor radio -- put two or three in a room together and play them at the same time and you get something haunting, bent and hypnotic.

The new selection is noticeably more diverse than those of its predecessor--a ...

Watch Robert Downey Jr.'s screen test for Iron Man, plus a scene rehearsal with the cast, as part of the extras for the new Iron Man 2-DVD set, due out on Sept. 30. (And yes, it's on Blu-Ray too.) The package also includes a bunch of special-effects featurettes, but this time around I'm actually more curious to see Downey and Jeff Bridges working out some of their creepy chemistry.

Filed under: Cellphones Crazy, we knew The Onion had some pretty reliable sources inside Apple, but who would have thought the Stevephone reproduces through asexual mitosis?
