Tivoli Audio announces PAL+ and Model 10+ clock radios, we go ears-on

Posted in: audio, Ifa2011, radio, Today's Chili
If those clock radios up there look familiar, it’s because their maker, Tivoli Audio, has been spitting out pretty much the same thing for the past 11 years. Their innards, at least, have changed with the times, and here at IFA the company is showing two models — the portable PAL+ and the more stationary Model 10+ — both of which hinge on support for digital radio. They’re each compatible with DAB, DAB+ and DMB, in addition to good ‘ol FM, have dual alarms and support five station presets for each band. The main difference is that the PAL+ is weather-resistant and battery-powered, rated to last three and a half hours unplugged. At 1.85 pounds it’s still heavy enough that we’d never throw it in a carry-on, but in a world where it cost less or money were no object we might take it to the beach. You could, if you were so inclined, use the included remote to navigate the UI, though there’s also a scroll wheel up top — a neat idea, we thought, until you realize pushing that button in the center to cycle through each and every menu gets annoying fast. As for the audio quality, the speakers are powerful enough that their sound could rise above the din of the show floor, but we could still hear some tinniness coming through. The pair are available now, fetching $299 (£299) and $399 (£399), respectively, which means HD radio or no, these are, still, glorified alarm clocks.

Nielsen confirms Android on top, buyers split on next smartphone

Posted in: Android, Apple, BlackBerry, cellphone, cellphones, Google, ios, iPhone, market share, marketshare, Microsoft, mobilepostcross, research in motion, ResearchInMotion, RIM, smartphone, Smartphones, statistics, stats, Today's Chili, Windows Mobile, WindowsMobile

In a recent report from Nielsen, Google snagged 40 percent of the smartphone market, while Apple captured approximately 28 percent — up just barely .01 percentage point from last year. This report coincides with findings filed earlier this week by ComScore, citing Google with 41.8 percent market share and Apple with 27 percent, up one whole percentage point from last year. Diving a bit deeper, Nielsen found that around 33 percent of people planning to buy a smartphone in the next year want an iPhone, while another 33 percent would prefer an Android. The tie between those who want an Android v. an iOS phone fluctuated when Nielsen asked the “early adopters” within the group what kind of phone they are hoping to cop. 40 percent of “innovators” said they would like a phone on Google’s OS, while 32 percent want a bite of the Apple — leaving a mere 28 percent of self-proclaimed tech junkies desiring something else, like a BlackBerry or Windows Phone. Perhaps these figures are an indication that Google will remain on top for 2012, or will there be an upset? Only time will tell.

DARPA harvests energy from cyborg beetles to keep them brainwashed

Posted in: Today's Chili
Beetles packing cybernetic implants that control their brains make a cheaper and more useful micro-air-vehicle than a fully robotic one — but due to the weight of the battery packs required, development has been slow. Now a DARPA-funded team at the University of Michigan thinks it’s eliminated that problem. By attaching piezoelectric generators to each wing, the researchers can harvest the energy generated in flight and use it to juice the mind-control circuits. At present, the system generates about half the energy the team thinks it can produce, as innovations in ceramic production of the miniature devices should solve that. An experimental robotics project in competition with a cyborg one? This all feels a bit too RoboCop for us.

Dyson unleashes DC41 Animal vacuum cleaner for pigpen apartments

Posted in: expensive, household, minipost, money, power, price, Today's Chili
We normally wouldn’t leave our housework in the hands of an animal, but Dyson‘s new DC41 Animal vacuum cleaner may force us to reconsider. The company’s latest Ball-based sweeper uses Dyson’s proprietary (and complicated-sounding) Radial Root Cyclone technology to maximize its 235 air watts of suction power — most of which is concentrated at the cleaner’s head. It also ships with a mini turbine head, which you can use to clean up the hair that real animals leave on your car seat. In true Dysonian fashion, however, this Ball-bearing beast won’t come for cheap. You can scoop one up at the source link below, for a cool $600.
