SHON DEMPSEY
Interesting concept video with some great ideas for iOS7 which is slated to get a drastic redesign (finally). However, John Gruber makes a great point that we won't see the end of the rounded corner app icons– Apple owns this.
The one thing that immediately stuck out as a WTF for me, was the relocation of the swipe-to-unlock to the top of the device. Sure, it may look interesting and different, but from a pure single-hand usability standpoint, there is no way it will happen.
I'm a bit late posting, but I've been enjoying this album way too much. The new album from my favorite band. Buy, enjoy and thank me.
I listen to music nearly all day at work. It's actually something I love most about my job. For about 3 weeks now I've been using my new Harman Kardon CL on-ear headphones. And I'm in love.
Th CLs aren't cheap. They'll run you $199 at The Apple Store (one of the few authorized retailers), but if you listen or enjoy music as much as I do, they're worth every penny. They also feel the quality if the price- metal headband, comfy memory foam ear pads and 2 sizes of headbands that form to your dome.
I've never really owned a nice set of headphones before, and if $200 headphones aren't worth blinking at, then you may know different. For me, the sound on these are amazing. I now want to ensure I'm listening to quality audio files so I can hear those nuances I've never heard previously. The CLs aren't bass heavy, but you'll get a fantastic low end. The highs are crisp, and everything in between sounds great to me– again, purely based on my previous experience. Sound isolation, even for on-ear headphones are really great, thanks to the memory foam.
My only complaint here is that I wouldn't take them with me on my commute. The just feel like indoor headphones and I wouldn't want them to accidentally get dinged or rained on. So they stay at the office. However, If I take a plane, I'd most definitely bring these along.
Overall? If you got about $200, don't have Bowers & Wilkins P5s (though, they compete with the P3s) or some other fancy high-end headphones, you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll want to thank me. You may do so in the comments.
The past few weeks has been great for music. While I'm anxiously awaiting Amorphis's Circle, these 3 great albums have kept me more than happy.
Meir is Kvelertak's second album. Some very fantastic Norwegian post-punk metal. If you've not heard of Kvelertak yet, shame on you.
Disarm The Descent is Killswitch Engage's first album with the return of their original vocalist Jesse Leach. I liked Howard, but I whole heartedly welcome Jesse's return. I love this album.
Delta Machine is Depeche Mode's 13th studio album. It is probably one of their best albums. It has the classic gloom feel and is a bit more on the electronic side than other efforts.
Have a favorite track? Comment up.
Finally! The new single from my favorite band. The full album Circle is set to release April 30, 2013 in the US. It appears this single will be available for purchase tomorrow.
