4:40AM Jesus Diaz | I’m not a fan of iPod/iPhone docks, but I can definitely use the new B&W Zeppelin Mini with rotating dock arm; it will look good in my new apartment. More »

This Man Is Extremely Dedicated To Live Network Television
8:30AM Dan Nosowitz | This intriguing dude is watching a black-and-white TV, with a DTV converter box, in a Starbucks. Hey, it’s not his fault Hulu doesn’t carry Jeopardy!, right? [Kansas City Blog via Boing Boing Gadgets] More »

10:57AM Nick Broughall | I love these new speakers from high-end audio company Bowers and Wilkins. Not because they have some special magic audio sauce that make them sound better than anything else on the market (although I’m sure they sound great), but because they look like sex in a speaker.

B&W Brings Their Premium
1:29PM Nick Broughall | B&W, those purveyors of fine (and expensive) speakers for the discerning audiophile, showcased their upcoming Panorama soundbar over at CES. They claim it will do to the soundbar category what the Zeppelin did for iPod docks, which I can only assume means raise the average price by a couple of grand… More »

1:39PM Nick Broughall | B&W make some awesome sounding speakers. Awesome sounding and awesome looking. So when the email saying their Zeppelin iPod dock was getting an Australian release, there was a certain amount of nervous excitement at the possibility of owning one.
All that came crashing to the ground in a pile of burnt hopes and tattered dreams when I saw the price, though. It will cost you $999.95 to own one of these docks. That’s a grand of your hard-earned cash. Or put another way, the same amount of money could buy you 15 iPod Shuffles, five iPod Nanos, three iPod Classics or two iPod Touches.
What makes this more offensive is that our American cousins can pick up the same product for US$599.95 on Amazon. That’s about $645 at current exchange rates.
If you’re an Australian B&W fan, you have every right to feel ripped off here. Of course, if you are an Australian B&W fan, you could probably afford the grand without batting an eyelid.

B&W Tube Clock Gets You Laid
10:15AM Seamus Byrne | Did you ever want to be Marty McFly so you could get your hands on the flux capacitor, not for time travel, but instead so you could use it as décor for your abode? Well friends rejoice, B&W has released the Tube Clock. The set up consists of six smoke domes encasing red LEDs, all mounted on a stainless steel and wood base. Although it is unlikely it will take you back to 1985, it will make you look like a stylised don that should be wearing an Armani suit. More »
