Finding the Right Speakers for Your Music

As a pretentious audiophile , I’m picky about the way my music sounds (which is too bad in some respects, because we’ve lately been going through a period where high quality music is hard to come by). I’m not talking about the quality of modern pop music either. There’s an ongoing debate as to what format of music has the highest quality of audio: everything from the “natural” sound of a record player to the “chopped up” sound of a CD.

Forget the Tablet — Apple Needs to Rebuild iTunes

Only hours remain until Apple is expected to announce the so-called Moses Tablet — the device that will, of course save every content business while spurring Apple’s stock to new heights.

The Story Behind Link’s Second Quest, aka Your Childhood Was a Mistake

Life is just one long chain of events that came incredibly close to not happening. From evolution to electricity, many of the most historically important events of our lives were just as close to not happening as they were to happening. More importantly than stuff like human beings evolving from the primordial ooze or some old dude getting his kite hit by lightning is The Legend of Zelda

The insecurity of Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode

An article on the H points to this paper by Steven Murdoch and Ross Anderson, from the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, on the poor security design of the 3-D secure (3DS) protocol used by Visa and MasterCard in the UK and catching on worldwide. In addition, 3DS undermines privacy by sending a full description of each transaction to the card issuer or its contractors. Banks also use the supposed additional security of 3DS to shift liability for fraudulent use towards the customer.

Marvelous Entertainment Executives Taking Huge Pay Cuts, Bizarro Superman Unavailable for Comment

We as Americans certainly aren’t used to seeing the words “executives” and “huge pay cuts” in the same sentence without the phrase “gun put to their head” somewhere in the article too. Marvelous Entertainment, which sounds especially familiar if you found yourself addicted to the Harvest Moon series, has made us all wonder if we just entered a time warp to Bizarro World by announcing their top ranking executives will be taking cuts to their pay after news broke that their earnings forecast was a bit gloomy. Executive staff will be taking a 15% to 17% hit, while directors will see 25% to 43% less money to purchase gigantic robot mechs with

Wireless audio system

It is hard to realise the size of these tiny devices, but if you think of a matchbox then you are going to be close and that is small for a wireless device! These are tiny transmitters, one plugs into the Laptop, TV, music system, Mp3 or in fact any device with a 3.5 mm audio jack, the other is where the headphones or speakers are connected. Once everything is in place then the user is able to walk around using headphones or place the speaker anywhere within the thirty feet range of the base unit.
