News at Seven automatically generates a virtual newscast – complete with images and videos – pulled from RSS feeds, presented by a video game character. The speech is awkward, but I imagine this could be the future of newscasts – tailored to your interests.

I downloaded Say Anything’s album two weeks ago and I haven’t stopped listening since. This is some of the most original, aggressive, poetic music I’ve heard in years.
