I think these are the old version (the Momentums), they are on sale in Germany for some months now. I recently bought the updated, foldable version and they are indeed excellent for use with smartphones or other devices when driven directly. An external amplifier/DAC will not add much clarity.

You give me chance to post this (new ad from THE sweeper keeper)

It was agreed that all the important Bayern stars play at least a little bit. They came back directly from their vacation for this game. Seriously, the score doesn't matter, this is strictly a game for promoting the brand and showing the players.

I use a Cherry G80-3000 with MX Blue switches - it's a very basic keyboard, no bells and whistles, just a 80's looking hunch of plastic. But it's cheap, about €50 and I don't think you need to spend more if you want great typing quality.

The Artist is a phenomenal film. I watched it in a small cinema that is both cheap, has comfortable armchairs and serves fine beer – so my experience may differ from someone watching it for the first time on a streaming service. The film has just so much atmosphere and put a smile on my face for almost its entire…

Twitter HQ.

These two-line-articles are essentially troll-/flamebait. Since most of the readers/commentators won't look up the source and the "article" does not reveal any of the important background information (failure to comply to a previous ruling when SP1 shipped) you just spread FUD. Mere facts without or out of context may…

I don't know exactly why but I think I will buy one (my first tablet). What kept me from buying tablets was the feeling that they are in general "useless" (i.e. unproductive) – but there are enough nice, dull things you can do with them. And perhaps I can convince myself that I will be reading more textbooks on that…

It's two years old – but perhaps I can recreate it. (my eye btw)

"Superior"

Challenge accepted.

I don't about the US, but in cold hard numbers from the world's fourth largest music market: 73,8% of music sales revenue in 2011 in Germany were generated from CD music albums (downloads 14,4%, streaming 1,7%). Music-CDs are not dead, and Video-DVDs are neither. Even if the avantgarde technophile geekosphere may…

I once had a friendly conversation with a meat inspector who was controlling meat quality as well as health standards. I asked him about McDonald's' meat and he said they were among the best, with the strictest internal controls and regulations. He argued that people are already wary against fast food and the…

iMessage has been so unreliable (late or never arriving messages) compared to SMS that most of my iPhone-owning friends have deactivated the service (including myself).

What exactly is "iPod out"? Has this anything to do with remote controls? I have a Tom Tom car kit and a Sony clock with a dock connector and would like to know if they are in any way compatible. Size could be an issue with the car kit - but I'd rather find a way around it than replace it.

Duh! How should you connect to this cloud when so few devices have that "thunderbolt" connection?

"TOTO - There's no place like home"

I wonder what the price point is. Remember: Apple still offers the generation-before devices at $100 discount. If it is a non-Retina device with iPad2 guts – and therefore competing with the $199 Nexus 7, $299 may be a bit steep.

After the verdict both parties reviewed the jury's decisions to any formal errors and how the sum was composed (no, the sum is not random, but constitutes itself from the alleged damages Apple suffered by Samsung's respective devices). Samsung was "fined" for the Galaxy Tab, but not deemed to infringe a patent. So the…

Well, we shouldn't forget that Samsung is a key partner of Apple and delivers a lot of the iDevices' internals. So a large order of chips, flash memory and especially 10" panels might arouse interest to other divisions. They may not need an official announcement to know what an "Apple tablet" will look like or in what…
