Oh dear. In a frighteningly embarrassing bout of "spontaneity" employees over at the newly opened Mission Viejo Microsoft store burst into an impromptu line dancing session. Fair play to them for keeping it up for a nerve-wracking 4 minutes, despite the store's customers clearly either uninterested or too embarrassed to look.

I hope these poor cogs in the Microsoft machine got a nice bonus for this little stunt. Their tired feet and tainted souls sure have earned it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is easily the most hotly anticipated game of the year. It could be a steaming mess of a game and still top the charts on the back of the reputation of it's predecessor alone. But from the looks of this trailer, it's safe to say Modern Warfare 2 is going to be a very special title indeed.

Modern Warfare 2 features gripping and heart-racing first-person shooter action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.

You can pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from Amazon UK here, ready for it's 10th November release.

Zombies, zombies, zombies; just when will we stop getting a kick out of maiming these lumbering, brain-eating foes? Not any time soon if game developers Valve have their way. Left 4 Dead 2 is set to hit shops on the 20th November, so get ready for another frantic blast of four-player, undead whacking first-person madness on its way.

The highly anticipated sequel takes place in the Deep South, where four brand new survivors are battling against the zombie horde. Valve promise three horrific new Special infected foes, the brand new addition of melee weapons, and a refined version of the AI Director that made the original so replayable.

Check below as Tech Digest's very own Gerald Lynch gets prepped for the zombie horde with an SAS survival training session.

As many as 10 million people are believed to have watched U2's gig at the LA Rose Bowl Stadium, streamed live via YouTube on Sunday night.

Estimates had at first circulated around hundreds of thousands of viewers; very respectable figures themselves. But now Variety are reporting a staggering 10 million people around the globe saw the show.

The figure makes U2's show the single largest live-streaming event in YouTube's history, with the only comparable figure being the 700,000 who streamed the YouTube Live event in the summer.

Watch the full recorded gig here.

MJ, RIP.

Meet Martin Jetpack, Dutch inventor determined to produced back-strapped solo powered flight. Presumably a big fan of Thunderball. In this video we see Martin's latest creation. This is the Ducted Fanpack and, according to the man, it can get up to speeds of 60mph and has a range of 8,000 feet before you need the in-built emergency parachute.

It's not exactly portable and looks more like a drum kit than anything else but, well, take a look...

It doesn't look like it goes that high which could be an issue if you don't live in Holland or East Anglia but, should you be sufficiently stunned and not in stitches, then see if you can tap up the bank for the $100,000 you'll need.

This video/work of genius by Rotterdam based animator Evelien Lohbeck speaks for itself. I wouldn't normally feature animation on Tech Digest but, then, animation is always titled "Note Book". Enjoy.
