Hasta La Gadget!

We reckon a good 97% of you will never need an audio mixer of this magnitude, but regardless, Calrec’s digital audio console is a behemoth of knobs and sliders that should be easy on the eyes for just about anyone. Shown off at last month’s 2009 National Association of Broadcasters show, each control changes color to reflect the assigned function or group, and each has its own display for monitoring individual status. Above those rest large OLED displays and touchscreen monitors for even more feedback. Audiophiles can hit up the read link for all the specs, and be sure to check after the break for a full-sized shot. Now can someone figure out how to get Super Monkey Kong up and running on this thing?

[Thanks, Tom]

Back in September when there was a ton of hype surrounding the new iPod Touch and the drop in price of the iPhone, there was also another big story over at Apple.  They announced that NBC didn’t intend to renew their contract with iTunes once their current contract ran out in December.  December came and went and sure enough, NBC didn’t renew their contract. Apparently the two couldn’t agree on a price, NBC wanted to charge double the price shows were being sold at while Apple wanted to drop the price.

Not even an entire month after NBC’s contract ended and the Financial Times is reporting that NBC’s CEO, Jeff Zucker, has patched relations with Apple. The Financial Times says:

Mr Zucker appears to have patched up relations with Apple after a pricing dispute last year led NBC to pull its shows from the iTunes digital media store. “We’ve said all along that we admire Apple, that we want to be in business with Apple,” he said. “We’re great fans of Steve Jobs.”

Apparently NBC is realizing that getting something instead of nothing is better when it comes to selling TV shows on iTunes, and it didn’t take them long to realize this. Apple sure does know how to stand their ground, don’t they?

Shiny Shiny: OK, I know you don’t tend to take a microwave with you wherever you go, but there’s no denying an office that’s lacking that mean machine is like an office with no computers- simply unworkable. Sure, you can work off laptops, or go to Pret for lunch, but those options aren’t ever going to be your first choice.

The mo:ben lunchbox is designed to keep your leftovers warm, and contains both insulated walls AND an AC plug. Simply plug in the box and your leftovers will be gently warned up, ready to eat!

Okay, so it’s not exactly a looker, but Logic Supply’s SolidLogic GS-L10 Mini-ITX is probably meant to be kept out of view anyway, and given its fanless operation, won’t give away its whereabouts. Culled from a Serener case and MSI MS-9818 motherboard, the heatsink-laden unit supports three different Intel Montevina processors ranging from the 2.16GHz Celeron M CM585 to the 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo T9400, up to 4GB memory, options for either HDD or SSD storage, and your choice of Windows XP, Vista, or Ubuntu. Connection-wise, we’re looking at two ethernet and four USB 2.0 ports, as well as VGA, DVI, and HDMI for video. Prices start at around $861 if you opt out of a pre-packaged HDD, but if you’re wanting the full kit and caboodle here, expect to shell out closer $1,900.

NASA’s recently developed electronic nose, intended for air quality monitoring on Space Shuttle Endeavour and later the International Space Station, has a rather fortunate and unintended secondary role. In addition to being able to detect contaminants within about one to 10,000 parts per million, scientists have discovered it can also sniff out the difference in odor between normal and cancerous brain cells — not a new use for e-noses, but certainly one that helps to advance the field. Groups such the as Brain Mapping Foundation, City of Hope Cancer Center, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory have been testing the technology and hope it one day leads to a new understanding of cancer development. We’d also wager it can accurately detect what cologne or perfume you’re wearing, another unintended side effect and probably not as fun of a party trick as it seems.
