How would you change Native Instruments’ Maschine Mikro?

tonyg — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:10:02 +0000

Native Instruments‘ gear is a must-have for those in the beat making world. We put the cheaper, dinkier Maschine Mikro through its paces and found that while we loved the portability, we weren’t so hot on the lack of MIDI ports and absence of knobs for twiddlin’. That said, we weren’t able to hate on the compromises that were made to bring it in under $ 600 and small enough to stow in a backpack, but how about you guys out there? When you’ve used this gear day in, day out, can you forgive its flaws in exchange for that extra cash in your hand, or do you wish you’d saved up a little more? If you were in NI’s position, what would you have done differently?

Doughnut-shaped Pulpop MP3 speaker made from recycled pulp

tonyg — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:02:46 +0000

Unfortunately, when it comes to sharing digital music with friends, there aren’t too many eco-friendly portable speaker options available for the discerning green consumer. When such things do make an appearance, they tend to be acoustic docks made from materials like bamboo (think iBamboo) that simply boost the source audio in a similar way to using an old-fashioned horn speaker, or otherwise get their power from renewable resources (as with the SoliCharger or Rukus, for instance). The Pulpop MP3 speaker designed by Balance Wu and Chin Yang takes a slight diversion from such norms. It’s made from recycled paper pulp and uses of vibration speaker technology to amplify the source audio through the surface on which it stands and the hollow space inside the doughnut…

tonyg — Mon, 21 May 2012 02:49:33 +0000

When 68-year-old Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger performed the song “Tea Party” with guitarist Jeff Beck on the Saturday Night Live season finale last night, apparently some NBC affiliates didn’t like it. Jagger told the audience that he wrote the number himself — which is about the current presidential candidates. He then broke out some profanity in the next line, causing several stations to cut away early to commercial.

tonyg — Mon, 21 May 2012 02:27:10 +0000

Generally speaking, companies developing suborbital manned vehicles brag about how much elbow room their spacecraft will provide passengers. They say there will be plenty of room to float around during the weightless portion of the flight, that there will be no fighting for windows, that passengers will comfortably endure the high-g portions of the flight … and then there’s Copenhagen Suborbitals’ (CS) Tycho Brahe…
