The record finally gets the turntable it deserves. Wheel is a record player that’s just a wheel.
Novelty turntables seems to be all the rage lately. From smartphone-controlled turntables to floating turntable to vertical turntables.

and just like that your old, beat up records will sound like new again
It doesn’t matter if you dry or wet clean your records, it doesn’t matter if you use wood glue, home-made fluids with Tergitol ( used by the Library of Congress ), isopropyl alcohol and photo-flo or use commercially available fluids like L’art du Son ( there are other fluids that you might like, L’art du Son is the one I use ) .
You can use a vacuum cleaner or a sonic cleaner. It doesn’t matter. If the record has damaged grooves or deep scratches you’re going to hear those clicks and pops, no matter what you do.
Enter SugarCube – the first non-destructive, click and pop removal component for vinyl records.

If you collect vinyl and live in the Western world, you’ve probably come across an Expedit. Hell, if you’re over 30 years old, you’ve probably ended up shaving your knuckles building multiples of the towering matrix of 12″ x 12″ shelves, and they have quite rightly become an extra member of the family for many vinyl junkies the world over.
When Ikea revealed it was to discontinue the popular shelves earlier this week, there was predictable backlash as fans launched angry Tweets, not understanding why Ikea would offer such a death blow to the vinyl community. The Swedish furniture giant talked about a replacement, but what could replace the humble Expedit? It was perfect.

IKEA recently announced that they are discontinuing their Expedit line of bookshelves—at least in Germany—and the news has sparked an intense reaction among German vinyl enthusiasts
Find a record collector anywhere in this world and chances are that his/hers beloved collection lies comfortably in an IKEA Expedit shelf. For years and years, KEA’s bookshelf has been the storage unit of choice for vinyl enthusiasts because it’s sturdy and each unit is the perfect height and depth for a 12″ record.
Even though last year IKEA embraced the vinyl community with the makeover of Harry Love’s record room, featuring the ubiquitous Expedit, now the Swedish home store has announced that they will be discontinuing their Expedit shelving range.

The first exciting news from Macworld 2009 came late Monday afternoon when Sling Media PR director Brian Jaquet announced that we will see the much anticipated SlingPlayer for the iPhone by the end of the quarter. If you own a version of their SlingBox set top, this app will allow you to watch live TV, record DVR programs, and even watch recorded films over the air with a 3G or wifi connection.
Six months ago at WWDC, Sling showed off a proof-of-concept SlingPlayer on a jailbroken iPhone. Sling also informed reporters that they were using a jailbroken phone because they had not been accepted into Apple’s Developer Program. From that moment, the rumor mill went into overdrive about why we have not seen an Apple approved SlingPlayer in the app store.
Along with the exciting iPhone news, Sling Media also announced that their streaming site, sling.com will begin supporting OS X via a browser plugin. For the first time, Mac users will be able to stream HD TV on their browsers from the SlingPlayer. Very exciting to see that Sling is finally showing Apple some love and I, for one, can’t wait to see the demo in person.

Do you remember 2+ years ago when Steve Jobs first said the magic word : ” iPhone ” ? I know you do, but you remember it as a fan, in some cases a worshiper, but still…. You know who remembers that day like it was yesterday ? EVERYBODY in the industry. When the iPhone came out, it ruined everybodys plans. Everybody wants to copy the iPhone, but they didn’t succeed not even today after all this time.
I’m not talking here about the N97, or the android, not even about the Blackberry. Those are still top notch phones, that can be a real threat for the iPhone. But are you aware about the Asian cell phone industry?
