Screen Grabs: Big Bang Theory’s Raj falls head over heels… for Siri (video)
Screen Grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today’s movies and TV. Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dot com.
Finally! A TV show that we’ve actually seen (sorry, Gossip Girl). The Big Bang Theory’s most recent episode featured Raj finding love with Siri. The uptight astrophysicist is incapable of speaking to women unless he’s been on the sauce, but finds no such social inhibition with his iPhone’s virtual assistant. Of course, like any geek receiving attention from the opposite gender, Dr Koothrappali soon becomes unhealthily infatuated with the handset, leading him on a trip to Cupertino to meet the person behind the microphone symbol. We won’t spoil what happens, but you can probably work it out — there’s video past the break.

Add a Windows 8 user tile to your Windows 7 taskbar
Now that Windows 8 images have begun leaking out, it’s only a matter of time until developers start releasing mods for Windows 7 which mimic upcoming features. Over at Into Windows, they’ve spotted one such mod already.
In the earliest Windows 8 images, we saw Windows Live integration on the taskbar. In the far right corner, there’s a user tile displayed. If you’d like to do the same on Windows 7, download Taskbar User Tile from DeviantArt user AngelWZR.
Once installed, your current picture will appear on the taskbar. Click it, and a menu appears which allows you to log off, switch users, and access the control panel. Right now, the mod only works if your taskbar is displayed on the bottom of your Windows desktop.

Hands-On With the Changers Solar Charger
I live in sunny Spain, so there’s no problem charging gadgets with solar energy almost all year round. The problem has been cost and practicality. Until now. For the past month or so, I’ve been testing the Changers solar charger, a rugged, lightweight solar panel and battery. The solar panel itself is tough, light and [...]

Quix Mixer Hangs Around Looking Cool
I have found through experimentation that one of the best hand mixers available to man is a power drill with a ballon whisk clamped into the chuck. It will fluff up egg whites and cream in no time, is free (assuming you already own the drill and whisk) and is about as butch as you [...]

Stars Hit Sundance!
Celebrities braved the snow and flocked to the Sundance Film Festival, but the films weren’t the only hot tickets in Park City, Utah, this year.
The place to be seen in the day was definitely T-Mobile’s The Village at the Lift where celebrities like Kate Bosworth, Liv Tyler and Victoria Justice could enjoy McCafé lattes, hit up the uber cool Puma Social Lounge or get Mac makeup touchups.
But what would Sundance be without mentioning the swag?! The biggest celebs were gifted everything from Soul headphones at the Miami Oasis Lounge, Solstice designer sunglasses at the Gen Art Bertolli Meal Soup Chalet, the new Nintendo 3DS at its gaming lounge and sexy DL1961 Premium Denim at the Talent Resources Suite. But the winner for the best celeb lounge had to be the Vevo Sorel lounge, where almost every hot celebrity stopped by even The Bachelor‘s Ben Flajnik, who received several of the brand’s hottest snow boots. But the biggest swag of all was at the Fender Music Lodge where Emily Blunt was gifted a trip to Vomo Island Resort in Fiji!
In the evening, stars Christina Hendricks and Tommy Lee dined at ChefDance where some of the world’s leading chefs prepared a different delicious menu every night. The best part was the Yogurtland station for dessert as guests left. After dinner, the hottest acts in music today such as Ludacris, Deadmau5 and OneRepublic preformed at Park City Live and Drake at Bing Bar. Common also hosted an exclusive Express concert for his Sundance film LUV.
Also worth mentioning were the Grey Goose Blue Door Lounge and Acura Studio which served as the exclusive A-List lounges for several film dinners and after-parties. Rashida Jones, James Marsden and Emma Roberts were all spotted partying the night away at the lounges while sipping cocktails til 2 a.m.
For the late-night celebs, the hotspot was the T-Mobile Presents Google Music at Tao. Nick Lachey, Drake, Paris Hilton and Kirsten Dunst were all spotted at the pop-up nightclub getting their groove on and trying not to be seen.
