Strata Mini Loudspeaker
Av123.com. Heard of them? Probably not. That’s okay - not many have. They are one of a seemingly rare breed: A manufacturer of mid-to-high-end speakers who sells their stuff exclusively on the internet. If you’ve not heard of AV123.com, you may soon be a minority. They have a huge following amongst audiophiles and audio enthusiasts alike (check out their forum and see for yourself). They also sell amplifiers, turntables, cables, and other esoteric components that get audiophiles salivating. Founded and managed by Mark Schifter in 2000, Av123.com’s promise is, “above all else, to provide the customer with 3 distinct advantages; service exceeding your highest expectations, products unlike anything you’ve seen or heard before, and value beyond all else”. That’s a pretty tall order to deliver on. But visiting the community section of their site you can hear from hundreds of customers who are raving about AV123’s products. AV123 carries a broad range of home audio and home theater speakers. In fact you might become a little daunted as a newcomer to their site. But don’t worry – you can pick up the phone and give them a call. They’ve got a great group of technically savvy audio gurus who can walk you through their various offerings. Today we are taking a look at the company's Strata Mini Loudspeaker which use a combination of planar magnetic drivers, cone drivers as well as an integrated 8-inch subwoofer. Priced at $1995.00 USD per pair, only 50 of these speakers are being made each month.

Pete is from Norway, and wanted us to know what foods are the best to have from his homeland. Here is a list of some of the yummiest (and hardest to pronounce!) foods from Norway.
- Raspeball This is a heavy, but good, dinner that we eat once every other month. It is made of potatoes that are mashed and shaped as balls with meat inside it. Raspeball is served with bacon, sugar, syrup if you want that (I recommend the sugar when you are going to eat it because sirup and Raspeball is blah).
- Fårikål This is a meal that is made of cabbage, lamb, salt and pepper which are all boiled together in a big cooking pot. This is a meal that we eat twice a year, but you can buy it at some restaurants, or at a truck stop whenever you want Fårikål.
- Kjøttkaker This is one of my favorite meals, and we have it every other Sunday. Kjøttkaker is served with potatoes, gravy and lingonberry jam, and you can have other vegetables if you don’t like potato.
- Lutefisk is a strange meal. They dry fish, and then soak the fish in lye… then steep it. Serve it with bacon, potato and mustard. We eat this before Christmas, but other times during the year because it so good.
- Smalahove This is a meal we don’t eat anymore here. I have never eaten this, and I’m never going to eat it… even though it is very popular in Norway. The reason that I’m not going to eat it is that the meat is the sheeps head. When you eat this, you have to start with the ear and the eye and work your way down around the jaw.

Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 arrives . . .
Microsoft have launched the IE 8 beta (aimed of course at developers, designers and keenbeans). The 
biggest move here seems to be better compliance to web standards - which will be great (and long overdue!) I do hope that in final release form it speeds up and can compete with Safari - which i must say is blazingly fast when compared to both IE and Firefox.

Sony 75-300mm telephoto zoom review - new video tour
Sony 75-300mm telephoto zoom review - new video tour
Sony's 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens remains a popular option for owners of Alpha DSLRs. It's a common bundle with the earlier A100 and likely to find itself fitted to many of the new A200 bodies. As such it's an ideal time to revisit our Sony 75-300mm lens review with a brand new video tour, using the Alpha A100 body. Remember the new A200 has the same sensor, so our quality results are equally applicable for this new body. So to see - and hear - how this budget telephoto zoom compares, check out our Sony 75-300mm video tour.
