Sun Visor Theatre Helps Passenger Pass Time
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation,
If you abhor being a passenger on long car trips, but don’t want to crawl into the back seat and watch Disney movies with your kids, the Sun Visor Theatre could be a simple solution. With a 7-inch 16:9 widescreen LCD, it features a built-in DVD player that can also play CDs and MP3s, a TV Tuner, an FM transmitter, and a SD card reader. A USB port allows you to plug into your laptop and a remote is included.

Viacom Nixes Pix on YouTube
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Movies, Music,
Viacom has asked YouTube to remove over 100,000 unauthorized clips from its site. The company claims that after several months of negotiating with the popular site, “it has become clear that YouTube is unwilling to come to a fair market agreement that would make Viacom content available to YouTube users.”
YouTube had previously come to such an agreement with the Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers, but seems to have failed to do the same with Viacom, who owns Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon and VH1. No lawsuit is in the works at present, but YouTube had better come up with a solution before legal authorities decide to intervene.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Look what we found buzzing around eBay. These BeeBoy BB10 earbugs
buds are patent pending but are still available with three size adapters and three color schemes: black/orange, black/black, and red/white. They feature a maximum SPL of 104 dB at 1 kHz, a frequency response of 20 Hz, and maximum power of 100 mW. With a 3.5mm jack and 1.1 m of copper cable, you can hook them up to your iPod nano for the price of $5.99 with a shipping fee of $10.00. We’re hoping that the sounds coming out of the BeeBoy is better than having the real thing in your ear.
