Croon Audio’s Original Bluetooth speakers promise not to creak while they’re cranked

Odds are that we’ve all had a speaker system which can’t take the heat: turn up the volume and there’s an unintentional dubstep remix as the waaahs and wubwubs of distortion and vibration overtake whatever we actually meant to hear. Croon Audio is only just getting into speakers, but its Original system makes clean sound the order of the day: along with the retro, anti-distortion fiberboard design, the Bluetooth audio box has isolation cones at the corners that Croon hopes will leave any shake, rattle and rolling to Big Joe Turner and Bill Haley. That’s good news for a small enclosure with two 15W drivers and a Class D amp inside. A 3.5mm jack still exists if wireless audio compression gets on the nerves as well. The speakers are already selling now in a classic black for $200, although $230 will net a slightly livelier gray or white, and $235 lands an attention-getting (if limited edition) red.

Are you old enough to remember what the cassette tape era was like, what with the Sony Walkman and all? Well, MakerBot intends to roll back the years with the Mixtape – an MP3 player which sports 2GB of storage space, the relevant buttons that allows you to hit Play, Pause, Forwards, Backwards, et al, a rechargeable battery that is capable of running for up to four hours on a single charge, a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB cable. Setting it up is a fairly easy and no-brainer process, where the Mixtape will show up as a USB flash drive on your Mac or PC so that you can simply drag and drop MP3s into it.

When one mentions the word “warhead”, most of the time we would think of a nuclear threat or something in a similar vein. Well, good to know that “warhead” is used in much more peaceful times now, especially so when it comes to gaming – and Mad Catz intends to wow the world with its Tritton Xbox 360 Warhead 7.1. Surround Sound Headset for the Xbox 360 (which can be told via the name alone, obviously). Mad Catz thinks that the 
Apple has just announced their financial results for Q3 ended June 30, posting a quarterly revenue of $35 billion and a quarterly net profit of $8.8 billion. Comparing it to a revenue of $28.6 billion and net profit of $7.3 billion in the year-ago quarter, it must be said that international sales make up a whopping 62% of the latest quarter’s revenue. Sounds like impressive figures are being bandied around here, but this is Apple we are talking about here, and those figures translate to an earnings miss which has sent Apple’s stock to drop by over 5% initially.
