Full FeedWaiting on the Gibson Dark Fire
The Gibson Dark Fire is an electric guitar with lots of tech that will be released on December 15th. So, what’s the big deal?
At first blush, the Dark Fire just looks like a damn cool Les Paul, but there’s more under the hood. You can change tunings and the combination of pickups with a simple turn of a knob. It’s supposed to tune faster than Gibson’s first attempt at a robot guitar and should be able to produce lots of different tones.
You can change the software on the guitar so you can have custom tunings uploaded to the guitar (wow, that is weird to type). The Dark Fire also comes with software: Guitar Rig 3 and Ableton Live 7 are included. Guitar Rig lets you play using virtual amps and Ableton Live is recording studio software.
We’ll try to test the guitar hands on some time soon.

Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
It should be noted that the version of Ableton Live isn’t the full one. It’s basically a slightly upgraded version of Lite. Still, I’m sure the whole product/package will totally rock.

Sounds very promising, I still have to check out the Line 6 guitars which should be a similar product. I am curious what they are able to do.
