Scitec IR-001W Internet Radio
Even though Internet radio may not be as popular with the masses as terrestrial radio, the amount of programming that you can find makes jumping through hoops just to listen it worth it. That said, sitting in front of your computer all day just to listen to the latest episode of “Gregg and Tony” is…
iLuv i7500 2.1 Channel iPod Audio System
The funny thing is, I don’t even own an iPod, yet it seems like there’s more and more accessories for the little player that could coming out every day.

Announced while we were all celebrating our nation’s independence, the Maxtor Shared Storage II (MSSII) brings 1TB (1,000GB) of networked storage capacity to LAN near you.

Universal Embraces Simple CDs To Compete With iTunes: Now Less For More!
The big music companies sure must hate the Fraunhofer Institute for creating the MP3 codec. As we all know, MP3s, burning CDs and, more recently, legal downloads have turned the industry on its head and caused executives to starve inside of their ivory towers. Over in the UK, Universal is trying to right this wretched…
B&W XT Speakers
B&W must be real proud of itself, releasing these svelte-looking XT speakers that would look great pretty much anywhere. There’s four models in the XT series and they each serve different purposes. The XT4 is a three-way speaker; the XT2 is a two-way speaker; the XTC is a two-way center channel speaker; and the PV1…
Marantz SD4051 Dual Transport Cassette (!?) Deck
It is July, 2006, right? I’m just wondering because Marantz is coming out with a dual transport cassette deck later this year, the SD4051. That’s right, a cassette deck. Color me surprised because I thought I had a better chance of seeing Windows Vista released than seeing a cassette deck ever again. While it does…
HAVA Video Streamer, Better Than Slingbox?
By now everyone’s heard of (and is using?) the Slingbox, which takes your home’s TV signal and retransmits it to another device, such as your laptop, when you’re on the road or just in another room. This idea of “place shifting” has really caught on, at least with the tech savvy crowd, as a means…
We Review Solitude Active Noise Cancellation Headset (Verdict: What Noise Cancellation?)
In my ongoing effort to completely isolate myself from human society, the Solitude Active Noise Cancellation Headset should have been a Godsend. I could have had everything: comfortable headphones and zero distractions from the peanut gallery. Alas, the headset didn’t exactly wow me. Find out why after the jump. The first thing you notice with…
Microsoft Refutes Rumors of Internal Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive
Considering most companies have a policy of not addressing rumors, Microsoft sure has been a nattering Nancy lately. It appears that reports of Redmond including an internal HD DVD drive in the Xbox 360 console (as opposed to the external drive which they announced earlier this year) were wildly off base. A representative from the…
