Chris Burns, Feb 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

A new set of tips have come through WSJ's author Amir Efrati on what Google will soon be presenting for families across the earth: a Google Home Entertainment System. We've previously heard about this system and hypothesized that it could be the Android@Home we heard about at Google I/O 2011. What we saw back then and what's being tipped today seems to line up fairly well: a home-based system of devices that connect with your media to bring you one immersive experience, based on Android as an operating system that makes it all run.

Shane McGlaun, Jan 25th 2012 Discuss [0]

My single biggest pet peeve of laptop and integrated sound on computers in general is the lack of bass. Often, the sound is so low even at full blast you can forget watching a movie or listening from across the room. That leads many people to look for quality external speakers. JLab has a new speaker that looks interesting for your notebook or AIO. The speaker is the B-Flex X-Bass, and it plugs in using a USB port. Read The Full Story

If you're aware of Ecko Unlimited, you know they're apt to making clothing that's aimed at the streetwear crowd, tending especially to those who love graffiti - this has translated rather enticingly, it would seem, to the tech and audio world with their new "Spray" bluetooth speaker.
