This 2.1 PC speaker system is absolutely amazing. Would you believe this thing will crank out 300 watts?
Furthermore its THX certified, and have a Class HD amplifier to power everything. On top of that there are THX Slot Speaker technology integrated into the system with its downward firing mids and highs.
The whole system is bi-amplified too, what does that mean, it means that there are 3 speakers, more or less (1 sub, 2 satellites), and there are six channels of output, 2 per speaker at 50 watts per channel. That means the Sub is hitting with 100 watts, and so are both of the satellites.
The power is cleaner and more constant which means the audio sounds better too, there is a better Signal to Noise ratio, less EMI, and the whole system, due in part to the Class HD amp, has power scaling meaning the system is only drawing as much power as it needs. The frequency response isn’t anything major at 30-20,000Hz.
There are one each 3.5mm input and output and an RCA audio input. There is also a digital signal processor inside and a touch sensitive LED dial to control it all. Suffice it to say I want a set of these, too bad they aren’t dropping until December, online, January if you want to wait till they hit store shelves, and there isn’t yet a listed price.
Boost has been super quiet about its strategy for unlimited calling and world domination since rolling out plans to a handful of test markets many months ago, but the deal’s still on the table and markets are getting added — just at a glacial pace, that’s all. Dubbed “Unlimited by Boost,” the plan offers unlimited calling (hence the name) within the user’s home market; outside that market, though, the voice runs a stiff 15 cents per minute. Subscribers in an additional ten states can get in on the action now, which comes contract-free like all other Boost offerings. Check it for $45 to $55 per month depending on location, while a plan that also includes unlimited data will be offered starting November 12 for $55 and up (again, depending on market).
Logic3 has launched the JiveBox, an apparently cubed iPod speaker system. If it is a perfect cube, then its 15cm cubed in size, not bad for all its packing.
Inside you will find a 90 watt RMS power source, a sub, 2 mids, 2 highs, an iPod dock, and a Digital Signal Processor. The sub is a 5.25-inch Hi-X woofer, the 2 mids are 3-inches a piece, and the pair of tweeters is 1-inch each.
There is also an LED light bar on the outside as well as a remote, and yes, it does recharge your iPod while connected. If all of this power in such a small package interests you, feel free to cough up the £149.99 any time now.
Unless you’re the type who leaves it to the last minute, odds are if you haven’t carved a pumpkin yet, it’s not going to happen this year. But don’t worry, while you won’t be able to enjoy any home-baked pumpkin seeds, you can still enjoy the eery glow of a Jack-O-Lantern with this special DVD.
Like those endless loops of roaring fireplaces, this 90-minute DVD contains an assortment of different pumpkin designs that can be played back on your PC or TV, simulating a real Jack-O-Lantern. And if the DVD inspires you to run out and get a last-minute pumpkin, it also includes a set of carving stencils to make sure you don’t end up with one of those lame crooked-tooth, triangle eye designs you used to carve as a kid.
The Jack-O-Lantern DVD is available from Firebox for about $18.
Now is it just me or does this thing look remarkably like the BlackJack? I had to double check, and they are two different devices, but the impending BlackJack II and this device have more than some of their appearance’s in common.
This smartphone has 3G HSDPA, GPS, and Wi-Fi, that’s pretty good for a device like this. Oh yeah, you know that one area where the BlackJack models are lacking, the whole lack of a touchscreen thing? Not on this handset, it has a 2.6-inch touchscreen.
It has Windows Mobile 6 Pro, a QWERTY keypad, 2MP cam, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and a MicroSD card slot. On top of all that there is even GPS technology integrated into all this, granted its only assisted GPS, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction, all that for 500 Euro, why can’t we get phones like this over here?

If you thought motorists who used their cellphones while driving were dangerous, you’ll want to keep an eye out for music fans with a front seat full of random CDs trying to find a specific album. But why risk life and limb when this super binder can both organize and announce the CDs as you flip through the pages?
Of course it doesn’t automatically recognize each disc, instead you have to record a custom 3 second message for all 20 CDs in the binder. But as you turn the pages your messages will be played back making it easy to find the album you’re looking for, while not risking the lives of everyone else on the road. Unfortunately though, you’ll need to be particularly careful about putting the discs back into the exact same slot, otherwise this system becomes useless.
The Voice Recording CD Album is available from otherland for about $48.

Since when did Apple’s OS start doing MS numbers? Apparently since the 26th when they released Leopard.
I reckon that’s what you get when you make a quality OS from the beginning and then just continue to improve upon it. 2 million copies is amazing, I can’t wait till Friday to see what their entire first week sales are.
Well, congratulations Apple on selling your first couple million copies of your new OS, hopefully you can continue to release great, new updates to your OS. Personally I can’t wait to see the new hardware you are going to release to coincide with the new OS X, but that’s just me.
