Little Horn Speakers

Wow, these are some stunning looking speakers!

Handcrafted using their unique Patent Pending design, Little Horn speakers are made by audio freaks Specimen of Chicago using high-density fiberglass and the base is made using heavy, void-free Baltic birch plywood. The base houses the driver and acts as a compression chamber for the horn. The horns are fitted to their base like a neck should be fitted to a guitar — with an exacting alignment and flush fitting surface to ensure the best performance and tonal transmission.

A special inverted design enables the low frequencies to emerge at the top of the enclosure. An octagonally fluted horn carries them upward and lets them flourish into the room. The immense structural rigidity of the horns octagonal geometry minimizes resonances yet allows sound waves to expand freely the way nature intended. There is simply something beautiful here, not just bass frequency reproduction, but a spatial imaging that belies the speaker’s size.


And as if the speakers aren't drool-worthy enough, the Little Horns can also be used in conjunction with Specimen's 300-watt Subwoofer and Hi-Fi Tube Amp. Built using the same Baltic Birch, this 14-inch unit can be finished to match your Little Horns.


Dang, I think I might have to start playing the lottery...

Introducing the 256GB Flash Drive

That's Right!

Thanks to Brooke Crothers over at CNET's official Nano Tech Blog in Korea, Samsung has just announced the development of a 2.5-inch, 256GB solid state drive (SSD) at the fifth annual Samsung Mobile Solution Forum in Taipei, Taiwan.

Typical solid state drives shipping in notebook PCs today have a storage capacity of 64GB.

With a sequential read speed of 200 megabytes per second and sequential write speed of 160MBps, Samsung is claiming some of the fastest SSD data transfer rates to date.

Samsung is slated to begin commercial production of the SSD by year's end, with customer samples available in September.

And dig this: A 1.8-inch version of the 256GB SSD is expected to be available in the fourth quarter!

Nice! Remember, (and, not to be condescending, that means talk down to...) SSDs or solid state drives have no moving parts, which means they avoid both the risk of mechanical failure and the mechanical delays of old school hard disk drives like the 2 crappy Western Digital My Book Pro Edition II drives that both died on me less than 6 months after they were purchased!

Odds are that you already own a few - like your flash drives, iPod Shuffle or Nano, those dinky camera memory cards, and of course the iPhone and iTouch and the sexy new Macbook Air.

You Wish!

Admit it - you wish you had a job where you truly liked the people you work with... And as this proves, thank God, they really do exist.

I dare you to not feel happy as you watch this.

I hope they made sure to include this on their time sheets...

That's Right,
