The Radio To MP3 Recorder has a removable MP3 player that allows you to record AM, FM, and shortwave radio broadcasts for future playback as digital files.

The MP3 player can be programmed to record a radio station at a specific time. I don’t know why it has only 256 MB of internal memory (flash memory is so cheap). The MP3 player removes from the radio for remote use and can be used as a voice recorder.

Tweaktown just publish a review for GIGABYTE P35T-DQ6 (DDR3) motherboard.

In the introduction Tweaktown write about this MB: GIGABYTE’s DQ6 series of motherboards is their crème de la crème. Compared to the ASUS line-up, DQ6 is like the ASUS ROG series, no expense is spared. The box certainly demonstrates this. The package is huge, similar in size to the ASUS ROG boards packaging.

Tweaktown’ conclusions are: Q6 series is definitely the ultimate for the overlockers out there. The P35T, while being a slight upgrade to the original P35 DQ6 it has totally changed the way this board runs.. Interesting conclusion for DDR3, too: DDR3 memory has allowed for higher clock speeds on the FSB, no more memory bandwidth bottlenecks.

Stay calm. Mutant frogs don’t eat eat human flesh and don’t have 10 legs. Simply those are pond frogs (Pelophylax nigromaculata, a.k.a. Rana nigromaculata) whose skin turned gold because of an albino mutation that prevents the formation of pigment cells.

Mutant frogs was found by children in the town of Shimanto in Kochi prefecture. The people from Shimanto hopes the golden frogs are a sign of good fortune… I think are sign of pollution…

Happy Birthday to Compact Disc (CD)

• World’s first CD manufactured at Philips factory near Hanover, Germany, on August 17, 1982
• Philips and Sony co-developed CD – over 200 billion CDs sold in last 25 years
• CD ushered in shift from analogue to digital in the music industry, spawned new digital technologies, including CD-Rom and DVD

Exactly 25 years ago tomorrow, on August 17, 1982, Royal Philips Electronics manufactured the world’s first compact disc at a Philips factory in Langenhagen, just outside of Hanover, Germany. The invention of the CD ushered in a technological revolution in the music industry as CDs – with their superior sound quality and scratch free durability – marked the beginning of the shift from analogue to digital music technology. The CD became a catalyst for further innovation in digital entertainment, helping pave the way for the launch of DVD and the current introduction of Blu-ray optical media. Having played a key role in the innovation of digital music, at home and on the move, consumers continue to witness huge advances in entertainment and lifestyle technologies.

The Philips factory in Germany, where the world’s first CD was pressed, belonged to Polygram – the recording company, which Philips owned at the time. The first CD to be manufactured at the plant was “The Visitors” by ABBA. By the time CDs were introduced on the market in November 1982, a catalogue of around 150 titles – mainly classical music – had been produced. The first CDs and CD players – including Philips’ CD100 – were introduced in Japan in November, followed by a US and European market introduction in March of 1983.

Philips and Sony partnered to develop CD – collaboration based on open innovation helped position CD as standard for the music industry As early as 1979, Philips and Sony set up a joint task force of engineers to design the new digital audio disc. Many decisions were made in the year to follow – such as the disc diameter. The original target storage capacity for a CD was one hour of audio content, and a disc diameter of 115 mm was sufficient for this, however both parties extended the capacity to 74 minutes to accommodate a complete performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. In June 1980, the new standard was proposed by Philips and Sony as the “Red Book” containing all the technical specification for all CD and CD-Rom standards.
