http://ochre.bandcamp.com/album/national-ignition       Fantastic new album from Christopher Leary.  If you've never heard any of his other material, I suggest you do.  He literally creates all his music on his computer.  He has a keyboard controller but rarely uses it.  It takes...

This thread is devoted to the forthcoming album by Steven Wilson on February 25th. On Facebook SW posted that the album is strictly audiophile quality as it contains no limiting or dynamic compression. I ordered the deluxe set which was a costly $92 including shipping and am anxiously awaiting...

Log onto Head-Fi with your iPhone. It's a well thought out interface. Very nice work, Jude! And being able to upload a photo you just shot with your phone is terrific. I'm sure this took quite some time to develop but it will be well worth it for the users.

Saw this on the net and got a real kick out of it!    

Have you guys been reading about this today (well, now yesterday) on the news sites? It's being covered everywhere and called the biggest scientific discovery in 50 years. CERN confirmed yesterday that the infamous Higgs field (and the Higgs Boson particle) which give matter mass, completes the...

As a Mac Mini owner who was using an Apple Numeric keyboard but Logitech mice, I decided to upgrade to the Apple Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad to see if they would help increase my productivity in the graphics department, and general all-around use.   At first I didn't realize that the...

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/midwest-storms-tornadoes-severe-storms-threaten-country-midsection-194415173.html   I hope everyone in the midwest now stays safe and looks after themselves and their families.  I know a few people being affected by these storms right now and I am hoping...

Here's a useful bit of info for fellow Amazon.com customers:   If you ever purchase something from Amazon.com and the item is partially defective in some way, you can call them and tell them you'll keep it (if you want to) if they give you a 20% refund. They will do this. It saves them having...

Who here is going to buy the new iPad 3/iPad HD/whatevertheycallit when announced on Wednesday?   I sold my iPad 2 last Saturday in anticipation of it.  It was perfect timing, too, because on the Sunday after Best Buy lowered all iPad 2 prices by $50, so I got maximum dollar for it.  ...

Check this out, guys!   http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/record-play-adapted-play-music-tree-rings.html   Pretty cool idea to be used for studying the history of the tree!

50 ipads -- 2 winners a day for 25 days.... today I won..  I never win anything so I'm extremely excited.  I just bought an iPhone 4S a few weeks ago (which was my first new phone in 6 years), and a Squaretrade warranty for it which is why I was entered in their Facebook contest to win a 16GB...

I am looking so forward to this.  You are either an Ozric fan, or you're not.   Check out samples from the forthcoming album on these two sites.  The samples on each site are from different parts of the songs:   http://www.hmvdigital.com/artist/ozric-tentacles/paper-monkeys  ...

Everyone who knows someone with cancer or has cancer must see this!!  No ifs, ands or buts. This is the most important documentary you will ever have seen.   http://www.burzynskimovie.com/   Watch the full movie here on YouTube for free...

http://www.grand-illusions.com/acatalog/Hurricane_Balls.html   Absolutely amazing.....   I have to buy a pair of these.  These would be the perfect stocking stuffer for a child or an adult.   This video of them being demonstrated is also on the page linked above, but here's a direct link...

Grace For Drowning Steven Wilson's 2nd solo project   www.gracefordrowning.com   There's an audio player with 1 minute clips of each song from the two album CDs (http://www.kscopemusic.com/stevenwilson/gracefordrowning/mp3s/myWimpy.html).  It sounds extremely promising and might be his...

What a freakin' awesome performance.  Was anyone else there?   Fagen and Becker were very relaxed and really into the groove.  The band they had with them was excellent, too.  I've always wanted to see them live and glad I finally got the chance to.   When I ordered the tickets online...

All new information and reviews for the latest Reference 7.1 DAC should probably be posted here instead of being mixed in with the other Reference threads.   People should be receiving theirs very soon if they haven't already.  Mine should be arriving tomorrow.

Logitech finally released their own version of Squeezebox Remote software for iOS (iPod/iPhone/iPad) as of two days ago.  Last month they had created it for Android.  And the App is free!  You just have to go to the iTunes store and download it.   Here's the blog at Logitech that discusses...

The title says it all.  There is an Amazon.com ad which is an animated one which has bars showing its loading progress and scrolls through different products.  Everytime this happens the site virtually locks up.  Clicking or scrolling anywhere on the site is at a 5-10 second stand still until...

www.apple.com   Doesn't look like much of an upgrade to me.

I think this is good considering the current economic climate and something everyone with a bank account should know.  At the very least it should make you feel more comfortable about where you keep your money.         NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR...

For those who listen to Steven Wilson's music, i.e. Porcupine Tree, No-Man, IEM, Blackfield, etc...   If you haven't heard by now, the third album from Blackfield, called Welcome to my DNA (horrible title by the way) will be released in late March.   I happened to stumble upon this Vimeo...
