Preview: Sonos Controller for iPad
Here at Gear Live, we’ve been in love with Sonos for years now. If you are a music lover, they are a company that you should definitely check out. One thing we love is that Sonos released a free app that allows you to control your system from an iPhone or iPod touch, rather than having to rely on their proprietary controller. Since the iPad hit the streets, we’d been wondering when we would see some love on that platform from Sonos as well. Now we have the answer. The Sonos Controller for iPad app will be hitting the App Store in late August, but you can see a preview of it in action above.

Hughson’s hockey voice a legend in Canada
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Editorial, NHL,
We all have those voices in our heads that we associate with sports broadcasts. Whether it’s the voice of a local sports team, or a national caller who goes where they’re needed. Jim Hughson, voice of the Vancouver Canucks is one of the latter. Born in Fort St. John, British Columbia in 1956, Hughson got into broadcasting early. He was a disc jockey and news reporter for his hometown CKNL Radio. Hughson currently lives in White Rock, BC with his wife Denise and two children, Matt and Jennifer.

AUDIO: Howard Stern Addresses Artie Lange Suicide Attempt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
We now know why comedian and radio personality Artie Lange was hospitalized over the weekend. Unfortunately, it’s a situation Howard Stern was hoping he would never have to discuss.
According to a report by the New York Post, the former MADtv star attempted suicide by stabbing himself nine times over the weekend. It was his mother, who was stopping by to drop off some food, who found him in his Hoboken apartment.
Although Lange’s family and friends hoped to keep the issue private, some “scumbag” leaked the info to the press. This forced a “pissed off” Stern - who struggled to find the right words - to address the news about his sidekick today.

Even better, the 7.5 x 5.25 x 5.75-inch wooden radio doubles as a speaker for MP3 players or other audio components. You can get one for $98.00, but this is an online only price.

To The People Surprised By Obama’s Radicalism
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Editorials, Elections, Media,
It’s been a while since I posted here, but my past work is starting to seem pretty prophetic. I predicted the hard turn to the left, after President Obama pretended to be a moderate while campaigning. I also touched upon media bias, broken campaign promises, empty slogans, and radical ties, among other things.
I’m glad a small number of people are starting to open their eyes and question this administration, but why did so many people not see what I saw coming this past fall?

HMS Battleship FM Tuner
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Toys,
Replace that outdated rubber ducky with this waterproof HMS Battleship. The floating ship has an FM tuner with auto-scanning, volume control and reset button. At a size of 19 x 5 x 4cm, the HMS needs 2 AAA batteries (not included.) Equipped with missiles and guns, we figure you could probably grab a couple of them at £13.00 (~$19.00) each and have soapy battles with your best bud.
