Whenever I hear of anything linked between wireless or bluetooth and speakers, my face lights up. This is also the case here with JBL and Infinity signing a partnership to create a wireless subwoofer. Well, we now have the PS212W, a 12 inch 400 W subwoofer that comes with an included 2.4 GHz wireless receiver/transmitter. We also have JBL’s Cinema Sound CSS10W, which uses the same frequency but only appears at 10 inch and 300W. This baby will cost around $560 and the PS212W is sold for around $680.

The PlayStation Store makes it possible for gamers to connect to the PlayStation 3 console with their PSP in order to download some classic PlayStation One games to play on their handheld. This brings a small problem as those individuals that do not own a PS3 can not access the feature. Well, this changed, in Japan at least. Sony recently announced that the PlayStation Store is now accessible to PC users connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, this feature will only be available in Japan so not much of a good news here. The company is struggling and this seems like a good move, if it were to be available around the world and not in Japan only.

We have seen it before and were waiting for it to happen again so here we are. Turkey just put another ban on YouTube after a user reported that Google’s video sharing web site had some clips that were considered to be insulting to some Turkish political persons. Well, the Turkish government acted promptly and ordered the national telecommunications company to block access to YouTube. That is for all Turkish residents until YouTUbe will delete the “offensive” clips. We did see this before, in March. The ban then lasted 2 days but now we can not really know how much it will last.After the ban was announced, the Reporters Without Borders organization promptly responded and stated that blocking an entire web site just because of some videos is a “disproportionate measure”. I totally agree as this might be a case of denying someone of the freedom of expression here, and maybe even of speech. We would of course need to see the clips to really see what the problem was.

There has been much stipulation as to the future development of Google Mail, especially after Yahoo hit it hard with the no storage limit feature. Now Gmail needs to come with something to top that and offering the same thing would probably viewed as a copy of Yahoo so I do not really think this would happen. On the other hand there are reports of two new features that are to appear. So, we have Google Gears and View Account Activity. We did not properly understand what is the deal with Google Gears but the View Account Activity feature can be useful. It will show all the IPs connected to your Gmail account and those of the past. This way you can be sure that nobody is using your e-mail unless they are allowed. Nobody really knows when Gmail 2.0 will be launched or how it will look and what will showcase. It does seem that existing features are also upgraded so we can probably expect a good experience. I sure hope so as Gmail is my favorite e-mail client.

There are a lot of strange lawsuits in USA. We recently saw one senator that started a lawsuit against GOD and now we see that Google is being sued for crimes against humanity. Dylan Stephen Jayne from Pennsylvania is the one that started this and he asks for just $5 million in damages. The charge is even more bizarre as the reason stays in the fact that his social security number, if it is turned upside down and scrambled spells “GOOGLE”.

If you click on the thumb you will see a handwritten real lawsuit! Strange things happen in America!
