Dec 30, 2012 04:30 am | Edwin Bluetooth Hybrid Vacuum Tube Amplifier A vacuum tube amplifier is said to deliver more warmth in the audio playback by those who hold music close and dear to their heart, and here we are with the $399.95 Bluetooth Hybrid Vacuum Tube Amplifier which merges the old with the new. Basically, this hybrid vacuum tube amplifier will be able to pair up with any Bluetooth music device in order to deliver superior audio performance. Vacuum tube amplifiers, apart from generating warmer tones, are also said to offer more dynamic tones compared to transistor-based models as they limit distortion when overloaded, resulting in better signal-to-noise ratio. A trio of tubes in this amplifier are able to generate 28 watts per channel of distortion-free signal to a pair of hooked up speakers. Of course, you will need to supply the speakers yourself, and it is sure able to deliver quite a fair bit of punch and clarity to high bit-rate MP3s, Apple Lossless, or CD-quality audio that is played wirelessly from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Not only that, the tubes will also deliver robust bass response by ameliorating the natural acoustic qualities of second and third harmonics for richer sound coloration. There is a switch located on the amplifier’s front that allows you to choose between a Bluetooth audio source or two pairs of RCA inputs.

Imagine your smartphone doubling up as your vehicle's key, now what would make one less thing to remember to bring with you wherever you go, don't you think so? After all, vehicle manufacturers have been moving in a direction where content from your smartphone is being sent to your vehicle, and with a smartphone, you are able to access navigation, music, text messaging and other phone functions from the driver and/or passenger seat. With the Hyundai Connectivity Concept, the South Korean vehicle manufacturer intends to bring things up by another level, allowing you to transfer all of the phone’s content to the car’s touchscreen display wirelessly and throwing in other wireless functions to boot. Hyundai has named it the Connectivity Concept, being a “technology study” and has a dream of it reaching production within the next three years. In fact, Hyundai has already equipped the conceptual system on a New Generation i30 as part of its demonstration purposes. The Connectivity Concept hardware will kick off before you even enter the car. Instead of a hard or electronic key, the Hyundai Connectivity Concept will rely on near-field communications (NFC) to pop the locks of the vehicle open, all you need to do is place the smartphone over an NFC tag on the door, and be prepared to enter. When you have planted your rear end on the comfortable seat, the smartphone can then slide into a wireless dock that is located in the center console, where the entire slew of its content, ranging from music to phone contacts, and profile settings among others are then streamed to the car’s 7-inch touchscreen. The car’s infotainment system will resemble the look and function of the phone’s touchscreen, and a wireless charger is also thrown into the mix. This technology is expected to be commercialized in 2015.

Music publishers caught faking billions of YouTube video views Posted: 30 Dec 2012 07:58 AM PST It’s funny how music publishers are determined to stamp out piracy through lawsuits, pushing hard for new laws, and advertising campaigns to highlight how bad piracy is and then they get caught breaking the law themselves.
