For those of you who want to DJ, but cannot afford two turntables and a microphone, there is a digital handheld alternative: the Pacemaker.

I’m not talking about some internal electric monitor, but the Pacemaker Portable DJ System, which allows for “an extensive range of professional audio manipulation [which] features…limitless mixing between two independent channels”. In short, you can mix, play, and perform anywhere you want, and your mixed tunes will be saved to the 120 hard drive.

The Pacemaker is compatible with all types of digital music formats, and also features “dynamic beat detection, cue, crossfade and reverse, pitch change as well as bend, loop, effects, and EQ”. I’m not a DJ, so I don’t really know what all that really means. I’m sure that all the DJs out there probably think all those aforementioned features are “dope”, but that just shows what I know about DJ-ing.

The Pacemaker ships with a choice of a Mac or PC audio editor, and includes a USB port for computer interface. One of the most prominent features is Pacemaker’s online mix community that could be an audio MySpace/Facebook.

So if you want to be a DJ, and you’re looking for a place to start, you might want to purchase the Pacemaker for about €520.00.

MySpace to get new Celebrity site

MySpace has received a new addition in the form of a website dedicated to celebrities, and everything that relates to them, such as “behind-the-scenes” content.

The website can be viewed at - http://celebrity.myspace.com - and contains a small index of real celebrities that have a real MySpace profile, unlike the other thousand which are fake. At the moment, there are more than 300 celeb profiles in the directory, including people like: Beyonce, Chris Cornell, Paris Hilton (duh),Shakira, Tom Hanks, Usher, even Snoop Dogg, and many more.

If you’re like me, you grew up with Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and the rest of the gang. You also may have found that you could relate to Charlie Brown, who seemed to fail at everything he did but was by no means a failure.

Fortunately you can grab yourself a special edition Peanuts/Charlie Brown laptop with some exclusive Peanuts cartoons right on the front. Well, maybe not exclusive, but just watch someone else have some just like them.

The computer has a 1.73 MHz processor, 1 GB of Ram, an 80 GB hard drive, CD burner, but if you’re a diehard Peanuts Fan, you’re not interested in that. You want the pre-packaged Peanuts screensavers, backgrounds and more.

Considering how much the iPod has changed our lives, isn’t it about time a game was designed around it. Kind of like that Channel surfing game where you have to find something on the remote in order to win.

Such is the concept behind the iNo Interactive Game. The game is played as players alternate putting their iPods in the iNo, and then it randomly selects a tune to play. I think it has some speakers on it for that purpose.

After that, the players chime in with one of the four wireless remotes, and then guess the song it plays. Personally, I think the guy who has the iPod in the iNo has an unfair advantage.
