A-Audio Icon Wireless Headphones Review
4/15/2015 10:19:00 PM


If Beats Audio is considered mainstream at this point, and Bose still regarded as the premium maker in the space, then it seems as though A-Audio is looking to find itself somewhere in between. Have you ever heard of A-Audio before? We certainly never heard of them before either, but it looks as though they're trying to break onto the scene with its line of premium-made audio products. One of them in particular, the A-Audio Icon Wireless, catches our attention for its hard to believe cost of $379. Naturally, there are plenty of premium priced Bluetooth headphones around, but can this one somehow ...

4/15/2015 9:54:00 PM

Earlier this month, reports had TSMC shut out of producing the Apple A9 chip that will power the next iteration of the iPhone. That report claimed that Samsung and GlobalFoundries would be responsible for 100% of A9 production. But KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, perhaps the most reliable source for all things Apple, says that TSMC will get 30% of the A9 business. This echoes an earlier report from back in January related to TSMC's slice of the A9 pie.

According to Kuo, Global Foundries' yield producing the A9 has been a horrible 30%. A 50% yield is the lowest acceptable for mass production. ...

An Apple iPad used by Pope Francis was auctioned off for a whopping $30,000. The money is being used to help a school for the poor in Uruguay, where the auction took place.

4/15/2015 8:21:00 PM

As the release date of the Apple Watch draws near, the Cupertino company wants to make sure that customers know what the new device can do for them. Thus, Apple today posted four guided tour videos which teaches future Watch users how to make phone calls, how to use Siri, how to play music, and how to make use of Apple Maps.

4/15/2015 5:43:00 PM

Just like the regular Galaxy S6, Samsung's Galaxy S6 edge is available to buy since April 10, with some pre-orders being shipped prior to that day. This means that many customers have already had the chance to thoroughly know their S6 edge, and, in some cases, to discover an unusual bug.
