Actually it says "Do not place the console or power supply near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, STOVES, or amplifiers"
I've been wondering why it seemed like the whammy bar took too long to take effect on my model 95055 axe. I've been missing out on vital Star Power.
And on the other side of the coin, you can use a standard Xbox360 controller to play Guitar Hero II.

Unfortunately it's not a very practical solution.
Except the turbocharger is attached to a motor and not powered by exhaust gases, which makes it a supercharger with a useless turbine attached.
And it actually includes a link to Art Lebedev's page for it...
ThinkGeek's write up on it is way better.

The Revolution of the Revolution… er, Wii controller.
icepop, not only did they annoy dogs, but, despite what the article says, the remotes were prone to interferance. Certain sounds, like jingling keys, could cause the TV to change channel or volume.

But, even with that shortcoming, they lasted up through the early 80's when they were finally replaced by IR remotes.
4600 hours is 190 days if you leave it on constantly, but even if you figure an average of 5 hours a day it will only take 2.5 years. And since LED's can last 50,000 hours (or about 27 years at 5 hours per day), I think it's worth the investment.
It's a drone because it's controlled by an external intelligence and unable to make choices of it's own.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
