| Today's Top Stories | | #1 | AV in Space: Take a self-guided virtual tour of the International Space Station | | | By Michael Franco, CNET | | | While we've seen lots of photos and videos of the inside of the International Space Station (ISS), seen what our planet looks like from ab aboard the orbiting outpost and even heard what it sounds like up there, your chance to actually guide yourself through the various modules that comprise the station has been limited. That changed in June, when the European Space Agency (ESA) put up a website that allowed you to pilot your mouse around the Columbus module. Now, the ESA has expanded its virtual tour site to include five more modules. More»

| | #3 | Review: HI-Res-capable, Dual-Coil-packing T20 in-ear headphones from Reid Heath Audio | | | By Paul Ridden, Gizmag | | | Back in May, British headphone maker Reid Heath Audio (RHA) announced a new pair of in-ear headphones that debuted something called DualCoil dynamic driver technology. The company had managed to install two independently-powered dynamic voice coils on a micro ring magnet, one to handle lower audio frequencies and the other to take care of the higher end. The T20s promised a true-to-life reproduction and support for high resolution audio. We got to plug in for some hi-res, and lo-res, listening. More»
Why This Matters: The article comes with some interesting diagrams that explain the Dual-Coil tech. And the reviewer is just as surprised as I am that an in-ear can deliver anything worth putting in this newsletter. "At the risk of being branded quite mad, the reproduction…seemed quite vinyl-like". And then he goes in to some convincing detail as to why. He doesn't share whether he enhanced the digital experience with any analog organic substances. –Cynthia Wisehart |
