PopScopic is an interesting mashup that uses augmented reality to enhance your shopping experience.
On PopScopic, you can print out three symbols that are linked to the top ten lists for music, movies and games. Then, just fire up your webcam and put one of those symbols in front of it, and you’ll see the cover art from the top ten list projected in front of you. You can tilt the paper to change selections, and then just tap on the $ sign to visit a page where you can buy that item.
It’s not a world changing experience by any means, but it is a peak into the future of shopping, and it’s fun and easy to play around with, so check it out!
DJ Earworm has once again put together a year-end mashup of the Top 25 hits of 2008 according to Billboard Magazine, and it’s called United States of Pop 2008 (Though the current edit also carries the title of Viva La Pop.)
According to DJ Earworm:
This year in the charts, we’ve gone all soft. The songs are sexy and defiant, less macho than in previous years. Accordingly, I’ve selected Coldplay as the instrumental track, giving the whole year a sort of symphonic feel.
Artists and tracks include:
Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain – Low
Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love
Alicia Keys – No One
Lil Wayne Featuring Static Major – Lollipop
Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic – Apologize
Jordin Sparks Duet With Chris Brown – No Air
Sara Bareilles – Love Song
Usher Featuring Young Jeezy – Love in This Club
Chris Brown – With You
Chris Brown – Forever
Ray J & Yung Berg – Sexy Can I
Rihanna – Take a Bow

The mashup is a difficult thing to master, but this combination of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Goonies, called Goonies of the Caribbean, makes it look easy. When’s the full featured release?
Michael Sans’ Cuckoo Clock is a grisly tribute to the Cuckoo (which, according to Michael, died of natural causes in 1958). Deeper meaning, or simple mashup? You decide.
