Finger Piano Share is an iPhone app that lets you remotely play a Yamaha Disklavier player piano (!). Up to ten people can play one piano, and the app includes a Rock Band-style scrolling notes play mode for playing pre-arranged things, AND an augmented reality component that lets you “see” stuff recorded by other people at the same location. So, if you stumble across a Yamaha Disklavier in the woods or something, you can play what someone else has recorded on it using this app.
The future is now!

Robot that can play Rock Band on the iPhone.
As an anonymous Boing Boing commenter noted: “no robot can simulate all the grunting and sweating.”
Yup.

If you’ve ever used Shazam on the iPhone and wondered how it works, there is an article on Slate for you!
The article itself isn’t too explanatory, but luckily it links to both another blog post with a more detailed description of how the Shazam ID system works and a PDF of the paper written by the inventor to describe it!
edit to add: Shazam is that thing that lets you record a song that’s playing and then tells you what it is. Totally magic. Once IDed a Lindsay Lohan song playing in the background of a noisy seaside clam shack for me.
