Origin PC joins the 11-inch, rebadged gaming laptop party, outs the EON 11-S
Last week may have drawn to a close, but the march of Clevo news continues. On the heels of Maingear announcing an 11-inch gaming notebook, Origin PC is throwing its own ultraportable into the ring: the EON 11-S. Though this is a new model for the company (the smallest laptop it's ever sold, in fact), it's not quite fresh to us: this is the same exact Clevo-made notebook Maingear unveiled two days ago, only re-badged under Origin PC's brand and available in a wider range of colors. As far as performance goes, then, that means you can expect Ivy Bridge processors, a 2GB NVIDIA GT 650M GPU, Optimus graphics-switching technology and a battery rated for 6.5 hours of runtime. In Origin PC's case, the laptop starts at $999 (compared with $1,099 for Maingear), though you'll have to head over to Origin's site for a breakdown of what specs you'll be getting at that lower price. (Spoiler alert: adding an Ivy Bridge CPU instantly bumps the price to $1,294.)

LMFAO's Redfoo Has Michael Jackson, Darth Vader On Hologram Wish List
Redfoo also says the very busy Eddie Murphy could use a hologram so he can 'party all the time.'

A month ago none of us really had hologram dreams. But ever since Tupac was digitally resurrected at the Coachella Music Festival a few weeks ago, suddenly everyone has a secret roster of artists they would like to see pixelated. The Jackson brothers have said they would love to tour with a digi-Michael, there was that story about Justin Bieber possibly performing with a holo-Elvis and TLC have been sparking rumors that they will bring back deceased member Left Eye for a massive reunion tour this year.
And when we asked music fans in New York's Times Square who they would like to see on stage again, their answers ranged from the Notorious B.I.G. and Nate Dogg to Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and John Lennon. But it was LMFAO's Redfoo who had the most eclectic and wide-ranging roster of holograms he'd like to party rock next to.
"I wanna bring Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin, Darth Vader, Eddie Murphy," he said, noting that the latter comedian isn't even dead, but is just so busy with movies he could use some holographic help.
"So let's just get a hologram," he suggested to Murphy. "Do your thing over there, but just give us a hologram so we can party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiimeee!"

LG's IPS monitors head downmarket with 2D-only IPS4 series launching soon
While LCD monitors with in-plane switching technology were once decidedly settled at the high end, LG apparently thinks its time for everyone to have one and is launching its mainstream IPS4 line. Executive VP JJ Lee says the aim is for IPS monitors to become "ubiquitous in every room", bringing better color reproduction, picture quality and wide viewing angles with them. So far we know they're slotting in just below the 3D-capable models shown off at CES, but there's nothing mentioned in the press release (included after the break along with another pic) about prices, sizes, specs or model numbers. If you're in the market however, expect to find out more soon since they will roll out to Asia first in May, followed by Europe and North America in "the coming weeks".

Frog Sits on Bench Like a Person, Reflects on Life
A video of a frog sitting on a bench as a human would has become all the rage online. It sort of speaks for itself. Is he waiting for a bus? Taking a lunch break? Contemplating his place in the universe? It's all very much unclear.
According to reports, the clip was shot serendipitously and wasn't staged. Moments after the video ended, the un-coerced critter jumped off the bench and hopped away into the water, where it hopefully found whatever it sought in life.
Enjoy the 43 seconds of weird awesomeness below:
