April is approaching, so here’s a little idea to “fool” your computer newbie friends. Simply attach the Phantom Keystroker to your victim’s computer USB port and watch hilarity ensue. The Phantom Keystroker contains a circuit board that randomly and periodically sends random mouse movements and types out garbage text that is sure to confuse (and annoy) your victim. There is no installation needed or drivers to install. Just plug it in and watch. A jumper setting on the Phantom Keystroker allows you to easily set whether you want random annoying mouse movements, random text, or both. You can also set the frequency.
$24.99 via ThinkGeek.
Product features after the jump.

Update (3/25/08) - Activision has revealed a release date of June 22 with a retail price of $50.
Remember the miniature Guitar Hero from Basic Fun? Well, forget it. Here’s a more “full-fledged” and enjoyable version…for the DS! Activision has finally decided to port the highly buzzed Guitar Hero to Nintendo’s handheld. Guitar Hero: On Tour, features the same gameplay we’ve all come to love and it even gets its own peripheral. And nope, it isn’t a mini guitar. In fact, it’s being called the “Guitar Grip” which is inserted into the GBA slot. Gamers are expected to hold the DS like a “vertical book”, as seen in the video below. One difference though, instead of 5 buttons the Guitar Grip gets 4…but that doesn’t matter. Strumming is done via the stylus on the lower touchscreen.
Activision hasn’t said much else about Guitar Hero: On Tour, but they have revealed that the DS version will include 20 licensed songs from bands as Nirvana, OK Go, and No Doubt. The game will have a single player career mode and multiplayer (co-op and competitive) — with six different guitarists to choose from.
Activision says they’ll have more details to spill as it nears its summer release.

Capuchin, built by the geeks at Stanford University, is a four limbed robot that can carefully shift its weight as it climbs a rock wall. Its ability to equally distribute its weight as it climbs makes it extremely stable. Unlike the previous version, Lemur (built in collaboration with NASA JPL), Capuchin is 40 times faster thanks to better and clever programming. But if you watch the video below, it’s still pretty damn slow. Unfortunately, Capuchin relies on a detailed maps of the climbing surface prior to being able to climb. Researchers plan to attach cameras to each individual limb, in hopes that the robot will be able to climb without the need for maps.
