Possibly The Best Speakers Ever

Well, by best I mean the best form factor.

I introduce to you the Speak-er:


It's not just a single speaker but a pair, so you can enjoy listening to James Taylor's new album in glorious stereo!!

It's like those simple stereo speakers you get with PCs or those travel speakers. Plug in a stereo source like an mp3 player (coz not everyone has an iPodPhoneBookPro) or a laptop (coz some people don't have net books... yet), then connect the left speaker to the right speaker, plug in the power and pump up the volume and you're good to go.
Seeing as it has a power supply, I'm not too sure if it'll work as a passive speaker set so you can enhance the ghostly echoes of Enya with faint tinny sounds.

Anyways here's some specs I stole (believe them at your own risk):

• 2" full range [I have no clue what this means]
• Power: 6 watts per speaker
• Dimensions: H4" x W6" x L2"
• Input Impedance: >5k Ohm
• SNR: >70dB
• Frequency Response: 60-120kHz
• Input Sensitivity: 400mV for rated power
• Max Power Consumption: 20 watts
  

Pricing is at $120 (USD I thinks - come on exchange rate!), and I've been told shipping to the UK is about $50 on top.
These aren't out until April, and then there's only going to be 1,000 of them. But you can reserve yourself a set here (like I did yesterday).

Actually, you know what... speech bubbles would be cool as cuff links.

Week In Summary

In Superbowl news, the Steelers beat the Cardinals.
At least now I can say the Ravens were beaten by the best (but 3 times in a season is just plain embarrassing).
Also Superbowl ads. I heard they were crappy... unlike the half-time show (my segues are a work in progress). So yeah, The Boss was pretty much Boss. Better than the other performers since that nipple-gate scandal (damn you Janet!). But then anyone is better than Tom Petty errrgghhh, he was lame. Prince (or whatever his name is) wasn't that good either, and you know it!

Also it snowed on Monday, and the UK came to a standstill.
Errmm... not much else to say about that, except snow fights and snowmen. Oh yeah, a colleague was telling me how she and her flatmates were having hardcore snow fights with 10 year olds. By hardcore, I mean throwing them to the ground and smothering them with snow.
Oh yes, and she also mentioned possibly the best snow sculpture ever... wait for it... a SNOW PENIS.

Now why couldn't I think of that instead of staying home??

*sigh*
That's been the week in summary, to be honest I can't be bothered to add pics and links so you'll have to do your own Googling.

Seacrest OUT!!!
