Musicians Rejoice: FourTrack Audio Recorder for iPhone, iPod touch
Posted by Patrick Phelps Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video, Software,
Musicians (and non-musicians) are often caught with songwriting ideas and nowhere to write them down; fear not, the $10 FourTrack is here! Although it’ll never replace your main recording setup, this app for the Apple iPhone or 2nd generation iPod touch records, mixes and plays up to four tracks like a pocket-sized version of Pro Tools.
Recording in true 16-bit, 44.1 kHz quality, FourTrack works with the iPhone headset mic, or an iPod touch with a third-party mic and headphones so your inspiration isn’t forgotton. Each track can be as long as your device’s memory can handle and once you’re ready, Wi-Fi Sync allows your recordings to be downloaded to nearly any desktop computer, where tracks can be transferred to whatever recording software you prefer.
You can find FourTrack in the App Store.

With Gears of War 2 getting ready to drop tomorrow, bringing Submergence Day to all fans of the franchise, Microsoft is also releasing a Gears of War 2 Limited Edition Zune.

More News On Why Terrence Howard Was Replaced In Iron Man 2
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorials, Movies,
Was it because he was paid more money than any of the other stars in the film? Was it because director Jon Favreau was not happy with his performance? Was it on-set antics? These are some the reasons given in a story from Yahoo Movies as to why Terrence Howard will not be in Iron Man 2.
I was shocked when it was announced that actor Terrence Howard would not be reprising his role as James “Rhodey” Rhodes in Iron Man 2. I was shocked… but happy. I HATED Terrence Howard’s performance in Iron Man. As a film Iron Man is just about flawless. From the performances of Robert Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges; to the special effects; and the fight scences. It was a great movie, but if there was one negative, it was Howard.

Samsung RF G299 French Door Refrigerator
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
We haven’t really checked out any high tech refrigerators of late, but Samsung’s RFG299 French Door Refrigerator caught our attention. It has 14% more storage space than others of it size because of its unique insulation to give it 28.5 cu. ft. It also has internal LED lighting, a Twin Cooling Plus System, a door alarm, and a specific storage area for pizza! The best part is its 7-inch LCD touchscreen that controls temperature, monitors its water filter, and has access to calendars, unit conversion, and nutrition information, so you will think twice before eating that double pepperoni. The fridge is available for $3099.00 with a stainless steel finish, and also comes in platinum, black and white.
