| Today's Top Stories | | #1 | The 2019 Apple car: what analysts are saying | | | By Philip Elmer-DeWitt, Fortune | | | Excerpts from the comments we've seen. More as they come in. More»
Why This Matters: This is all pretty barebones. Apple is putting out the word via Market Watch that they expect to have 1800 people employees by time of IPO (Tesla had 500). No word on how AV-centric the interior will be but we must assume that given the Tesla cockpit, Apple will go all out on audio and screens. Of course, where there is nothing much to know, there is always satire: here's Yahoo Tech's tongue-in-cheek take on what to expect. (Expect to see this circulating as fact). –Cynthia Wisehart |
| | #2 | Customize your own unique wireless mic handle | | | Via Shure Design Studio | | | Create a new look for your current wireless microphone (Shure BLX or GLX-D) with color, graphics and text. More»
Why This Matters: If you like those "Build My Car" apps, you'll like this. Shure's slick little app lets you go in and custom design a wireless mic handle from existing templates or your own design (or logo if you have no imagination). It's super simple and satisfying to use. This would make a great client gift to anyone with a Shure wireless system, or just a great option to offer with a wireless package. It would make any lecturer, worship leader, or CEO look cooler, or at least different. And since each one can be unique, it saves on label tape. –Cynthia Wisehart |
| | #3 | Students build kingsize wood megaphones to listen to the forest | | | Via Arun.ee | | | The three-metre diameter megaphones will operate as a "bandstand" for the forest around the installation, amplifying the sounds of nature. "We'll be placing the three megaphones at such a distance and at a suitable angle, so at the centre of the installation, sound feed from all three directions should create a unique merged surround sound effect," adds Praks.

Why This Matters: Things to do while enjoying your chosen ambrosia. Architectural students built this graceful combination of acoustics and forest in Estonia, a place where they really understand forest. The installation is described as a place to "browse the audible book of nature". –Cynthia Wisehart |
