Aspiring rock gods can at last create their own guitar solos - without ever having to pick up a real instrument, thanks to a group of Finnish computer science students.

The Virtual Air Guitar project, developed at the Helsinki University of Technology, adds genuine electric guitar sounds to the passionately played air guitar.

I think they should make virtual machetes, or a machine that allows you to stab people in the face over the Internet, like CTC wants.

I'd buy those (or I might pirate them).

I agree. Their priorities are way off.
