Scandyna Megapod Speaker

Most speakers are made to be pushed into corners and barely ever get noticed. This Scandyna Megapod Speaker flat refuses to do that exactly. The shape itself draws your attention, then with the bright red it becomes impossible to ignore. Of course if red won’t really go with the colors within your home, there are many other color choices that aren’t quite so beautiful.

This measures 884 by 348 by 535mm and it also has a 25mm free-mounted tweeter. In addition to that it also contains a 125mm midrange driver. If these look familiar, it’s probably because you would have come across the Minipod. It attributes the same odd shape as the Megapod. This larger version comes in various colors as blue, red, silver, yellow and white. To purchase it, it will cost around $2149 in Amazon.

Sony Walkman B150 series

Sony and their Walkman range has always been identical with portable audio, and that has been the case for many years until the cassette died a slow death, where the Discman series never really took off due to the prohibitive cost and much lower battery life back in the day.
Apart from that, the rise of digital audio in the form of MP3 files alongside Apple’s coup de grace in the form of the iPod family guaranteed that the Walkman name would never reach the giddy heights of its heyday, but that doesn’t signify Sony will just walk over and let other companies walk all over them.
The Sony Walkman B150 series is a proof of that, targeting younger folks who are looking for their first MP3 player (parents could play a crucial role here), boasting great sound with pumping bass that will surely get you moving.

A team of scientists from the UK and the US has discovered a galaxy far away from us which is tossing out stars 250 times faster than our Milky Way. The discovery of the galaxy, about 10 billion light years away from the earth, will help researchers understand how the Milky Way has been formed.

Galaxy SMM J2135- 0102 has four distinct star- forming regions, each of which is 100 times brighter than Milky Way locations for example the Orion Nebula. The team that discovered the galaxy was led by scientists from the UK's Durham University.
It also comprised researchers from European Southern University and the Massachusetts based Harvard- Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics. Mr.Mark Swinbank, lead scientist in Durham University said that the new galaxy is forming stars at about 250 suns per year and added that Our Milky Way is forming at about two suns per year. Because of the time it takes light to reach the earth, the scientists found the galaxy as it would have appeared 10 billion years ago - just three billion years after the Big Bang.

It was about Milky Way- sized at that time. But today, 10 billion years later, it would have grown into a giant elliptical galaxy very much massive than the Milky Way." When we look at the stars in the Milky Way, we can find that most are about 10 billion years old. So, in order to understand how the Milky Way was formed, we must look back to these times. Swinbank said that the main result of our study is that we have located four individual star- forming regions.

Each of these regions is forming stars very rapidly than we would expect, given their sizes. Swinbank added that the regions are much more efficient at forming stars than we typically see in the local universe. The findings signify star formation was more vigorous in the early universe.

Recycled Keyboard Turned Into Clutch

All sorts of keyboards get tossed aside quite regularly. Many of us conclude that they are no longer gonna be functional or just someone finding something far better than their old keyboard. Then again it could just be because you don’t want to dig the endless supply of spots out from underneath the keys. Well thankfully someone has invested their time to turn those keyboards into an incredibly geeky little purse. Now you can remember your own old worn out keyboard fondly. Just pick up one of these controls for $37.95 and save one more keyboard from being sent to the dump.

Lets have a look at M-Edge Accessories

It is fascinating to note that the Apple iPad has made quite an impact as expected, with many third party manufacturers coming up with a whole lot of accessories for the iPad.

Nice to witness that M-Edge Accessories has the Amazon Kindle in mind instead, with their new line of Camouflage jackets as well as bags for said device. Both covers and bags will comprise specialized digital camouflage patterns, hence its name, that were specially designed for three divisions of the armed forces—Army, Marines, and Navy.

Hmmm, guess our men on the battlefront do need to get relaxed as well, reading their favorite ebooks – but certainly not during a special and covert mission, eh?

Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition

This significance of the popular Nokia 5800 Xpress Music edition makes the most of Nokia's Ovi Maps that is recently re-vamped into a free 'forever' app.

The Ovi Maps app features coverage for over 70 countries that combines with the 5800 to maximize its abilities to give you turn-by-turn, voice-guided navigation for driving as well as walking. Ovi Maps also marks free updates, more than 6,000 3D landmarks, free event guides, and free Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides.

As for the hardware, the bright 360x640TFT touchscreen displays the excellent features of the easy-to-read Ovi Maps and features concrete feedback. The 5800 Navi also attributes 3.5G (3.6 Mbs); Wi-Fi; 3.2 MP camera with video recording, autofocus, and LED flash; 81MB of internal memory; hot-swappable MicroSD slot that can accommodate cards up to 16GB; very reputable battery life of 8.8 hours talk time and 16 days of standby time; and all the music features of the original 5800 Xpress Music edition including dedicated menu button and even good built-in stereo speakers.

The 5800 Navi comprises an auto power adapter and a windshield mount right in the box, so it's ready to jump in the car and hit the open road with you. The windshield mount is a little tricky to put together and seemed rather large upon assembly, but actually is quite usable once installed in the car. It's very adjustable and is long enough to put the phone right at our fingertips, even in our huge (read: non P.C.) SUV.

Currently on sale at the Nokia Online Store for $299.
