SoundTech, makers of some interesting computer/music peripherals, has announced a new guitar attachment called the Ediface. So what's it do? How about giving your guitar all the flexibility of a synthesizer, converting notes to trumpets or...like the headline says...playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band with your real guitar?

Windows XP and Mac compatible, the Ediface works as pickups to measure the notes being played by the guitar. Once the Ediface detects the note, it replaces the real sound with MIDI and, through that device you see in the picture, switches in any alternate instrumentation you may desire (ala synthesizer).

As for Guitar Hero and Rock Band support, it's really not all the difficult from here. Users simply program the corresponding colors/notes to the real notes they'd like to play on the guitar (like the first 5 frets of the top string). SoundTech is developing adapters for all major platforms to plug into the Ediface and make this all possible.

Hair thieves have sruck again in Brazil,this time targeting a woman who had not cut her tresses for two decades.

It is believed the hair, cut from the heads of women in lightning attacks, is being sold to wigmakers for high prices.

In the latest attack, in the northern city of Aracaju, two men on a motorbike grabbed a housewife and used a machete to cut off her 1.5m-long hair.

It was a day at the park for Sandra Bullock, her husband Jesse James and his three children. According to an eyewitness at the park where the family played, "The whole family looked so cute together," the eyewitness says.
"They even had their dogs with them, one with three legs and one with two. When he wasn't walking around on his hind legs like a person, Sandy carried him in her arms like a baby!" As you can see, cuteness ensued.
