Because we can’t seem to get enough of robots, so how about we show you one that actually does something useful? Too boring, you say? What if we handed you a stack of 50 DVDs and CDs and told you to rip the image, archive ‘em and, while you’re at it, take a picture of each label. Now you want a robot to lord over, don’t you? Lucky for you, our favorite Kansas hard drive maker and friend of forensics analysts everywhere, James Wiebe has come to your rescue with the WiebeTech CD/DVD Imager. So remember kids, this new bot may not be as fun to say as the robotic “welly wanger”, but it’s probably a bit more practical if you’re about to fire off a few hundred copies of your latest tape (on CD) and can front the $2399 one of these will set you back.

Hey Mr. DJ, we thought you said we had a deal? You scratch our back and we’ll scratch your USB flash drive connected to our turntable, right? Not unlike rival Numark, Denon is now sporting a digital turntable, the DN-HD2500. It’s got support for additional USB peripherals, such as a flash drive, iPod, or external hard drive. It’s got dueling CD spinners, your usual faders, and what appears to a slick little screen in the middle of the whole setup for song queuing and beatmatching. But the best feature on the new Denon device is that in order to supply that screen with your favorite tunes, the turntable packs an internal 2.5-inch hard drive. No word on the price yet, but if Denon wants to win this DJ contest, it’ll have to spin lower than $799.
