However, amazing your regular, rectangular, boxy speakers may sound, they definitely miss out on the funk factor. For a pair of great-sounding speakers that don’t need to scream for attention, lay your hands on these Bang & Olufsen delights, called BeoLab 5. They look like UFOs docked to big cones, and sound like audiophile heaven. With each speaker running on 2,500 watts of power, they can go loud – very loud – while retaining a clean, crisp sound. B&O also boasts that the speakers sounds great no matter where you stand, bringing you stereo sound even if you’re standing right out in the lawn.

Of all the cameras we played with last year, the one which got us by the balls was Cannon’s humble IXUS 70. It’s a combination of a nice, though not extravagant, feature set, small size and relatively low price provided quite appealing and now with the IXUS 80 IS. Cannon has updated the aesthetic design, switched to a slightly different zoom range and, most important added Optical Image Stabilization. And yeah, they have even raised the resolution to 8 mega pixels from last year’s 7.1.

P.S. Optical Image Stabilization helps a photographer capture sharp images by reducing camera shake/vibration (common shooting problems associated with handheld photography).

FrostWire is a rip-off from the famous Limewire and, as such, it functions exactly the same wat. When you search for a file using FrostWire, you get results from LimeWire, and vice versa. However, the user experience differs in two ways. One is that the file you search is based on LimeWire Pro, the paid version, so you needn’t worry about simultaneous download restrictions, and won’t get bombarded by ads!
