Voyager 1 now EIGHTEEN LIGHT HOURS from home
Monday 27th October 2014 13:10 GMT
Something which makes me sad.
Voyager has taken 37 years to travel it's 18 light hours so far. So by quick head calculations, to travel it's full 1 light day distance is going to take another 12 (+ a few months) years. So It's not going to be able to broadcast it's done that light day before it's systems shutdown :-(

Scientists skeptical of Lockheed Martin's truck-sized fusion reactor breakthrough boast
Thursday 16th October 2014 10:14 GMT
Now the serious comment.
the last comment was obviously a joke, before anyone takes offence.
Being that it came from Lockheed's Skunk works who are one of the most respected engineering design and problem solving teams in the world, this announcement should be treated with a bit less scepticism as the cold fusion one made by one man some time ago.
Anyone interested in this should have a look at the wiki page which has a little bit more info (not much) on it and it's designer.

Audiophiles: These Wi-Fi speakers have a stereo drift of less than 25μs – good enough for you?
Wednesday 15th January 2014 15:48 GMT
Erm
Yep and I'm one of them.
My speakers were set in their position so they were a certain distance from the rear wall to minimize standing waves, but kept good bass repsonse and tonal quality. I done it using a laser measure, taking in to account I wanted a perfect triangle distance wise between the speakers themselves and each speaker to the centre axis of my head!
Finally toe in of each speaker was taken care of with a laser pointer. I found the sweet spot for toe in with my speakers was not firing direct at the centre of my head but about 3 inches either side of it. Basically the axis of the speakers would cross just behind my head.
There's many methods out there for setting up speakers, I tried most of them before settling on what's essentially a bit from 2 or 3 of the better known ones (Cardas etc). Does it make a difference though? Yes absolutely, pin point soundstage, great tonality and no bass bloat, the speakers essentially do vanish and you hear the music, not the equipment. Yes it's a bit sad, but it harmed no one and I'm happy with the sound.
I do agree though that there's an awful lot of snake oil in the audiophille world.
