Why, What Do You Use? An iPod? Pssh.
I bet your iPod can't play music at FIFTY-TWO X. That's so many Xs, you guys. Plus, it doubles as a retractable cupholder. [There, I Fixed It] -

I thought it was a sleek CD launcher, maybe a DIY weapon, but the reality of the Quackie CD Player concept isn't too horrible either. You open up the "beak" to turn up the volume, close it to power down. More » -

Happy 30th Birthday, Compact Disc!

Philips Cinema One Squeezes Home Theater System into Tiny Round Box
As mentioned in the liveblog, Philips has stumped up a new home theater system that's as small, and almost as round as, a soccer ball—for those of us bored of boring, standard rectangular entertainment gadgets. Though it's tiny, it fits in an iPod dock, a five-channel amp, six speakers and a subwoofer built into the base. It must be pretty cramped inside, since it's just 10.75-inches across, and only 6.75 high. The DVD player can cope with DivX, MPEG-4 and WMV, and upscales to 1080p over HDMI and the CD player can read MP3 discs, and it's got USB-in. If that's whetted your appetite, you'll have to wait as there's no info yet on timing or price. But the press release is below. More »
