Who needs cable when there are literally thousands of hours of video content uploaded to the internet every single day? Sure, there's a plethora of home movies and skateboard crash shots, but there are also plenty of other options available on YouTube and Vimeo that will make your heart skip and your lips turn upward into a smile. We share 10 of our recent favorites below...
A few years back...ok, make more than a decade ago, I purchased my first dedicated home theater audio system. It was a glorious behemoth of a system, with left, right, satellite surrounds, center, and get this...two discrete subwoofers. It was fine and dandy when I was sharing a large home with a then girlfriend. But then we broke up right before I moved from LA after accepting a job in San Francisco where I found myself in a 300 sq. ft. studio, situating such a system proved challenging...
MoreAwhile back, I reached out to audio designer Victor Johansson after seeing some enticing preview images of an audio solution he was developing, a design-tantalizing ceramic stereo system utilizing wireless connectivity, all contained within a vessel of smooth earthenware and warm wood.

But just how much app, song and movie money does each person contribute to Apple's world domination each year?
A few years back a good friend of mine, a dedicated gamer who competes competitively, built himself a head-to-head gaming cabinet to keep his fighting game skills honed from the comfort of his garage. As impressive as that was, as a kid of the 80's, this DIY NES themed gaming cabinet touched an even greater nostalgic nerve...

The larger, younger sibling of the original Jambox wireless speaker, one of our favorite outdoor audio options, has expanded its wardrobe of color combinations to include 9 grill and 13 cap colors (including new Purple, Dark Green, and Crimson Red), allowing buyers to mix and match to their color-loving content. The color customization option joins last month's 2.0 software update, which optimized battery life two additional hours and fixing dropouts and interruptions at greater distances while streaming from an iOS 6.1 device. Sounds like the perfect audio companion for a picnic or dining al fresco now warm weather has become the rule, not the exception.
