In winter it is to hard to jog 3-4 miles. If you want motivation for your jogging in an extreme cold weather then the one thing that usually helps you to pump up yourself is your MP3 player. If only you didn't have to choose between your ear bud headphones and your earmuffs. Whenever you will go for jog you will have to take your MP3 with your headphone but the ear bud headphones are not as useful as the Earmuffs.
Well, you're in luck -- now you can stay warm and keep the tunes flowing by getting yourself a pair of headphone earmuffs.

As MP3 players and other portable music gadgets have become practically ubiquitous, it has become necessary to make them as usable as possible, no matter what the temperature is. So, the ever-expanding need for multipurpose gear has created a new branch in the headphone industry. Headphone earmuffs are exactly what you think they are -- headphones inside a pair of earmuffs.

Most of the time, you can expect the average earmuff headphone set to run about $30 [source: Perfect Present]. Try using the Internet in your search for the best deals and customer reviews.

Magnetic recording is a backbone technology of the electronic age. It is a fundamental way for permanently storing information.

* In the audio realm, magnetic tape (in the form of compact cassettes) is a popular way of distributing music. People either buy tapes pre-recorded with material, or make their own tapes from CDs.
* In the video realm, video tape is used widely both in the broadcast industry and at home to store material for later viewing on VCRs.
* In the computer realm, magnetic recording is used on floppy disks, hard disks and magnetic tape as the main method for data storage.

In this article, we will look at magnetic recording. We'll focus on cassette tapes and tape recorders, but the same technology applies to any form of magnetic recording. You will learn that the reason why magnetic recording is so popular is because it an easy and inexpensive technology with good medium-term (10 to 20 years) storage characteristics.

Simple blocks are a common symbol of childhood creativity, curiosity and intelligence. Placing building blocks next to or on top of each other allows children to let their imagination run
wild and create any number of structures on a playroom floor. If letters, pictures or colors are added to the blocks, children can add words, patterns and other arrangements into their designs.

If we add a table under those blocks, the building process all of a sudden becomes much more collaborative. Although we typically think of a table as a simple object -- one that's useful, but maybe a little static -- it's actually yet another important symbol. Tables can be a fun space, a place where people gather to exchange conversation, ideas and work. Many elementary schools choose to sit classmates around larger, round tables instead of individual tables to encourage cooperation and group work. Tables aren't just for child's play, of course: Experienced architects draw out plans for major construction projects on top of tables, and artists might use tables to construct larger pieces of art.
Taking the two basic concepts of blocks and tables, four graduate students from the Univesitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, added music to the mix and designed something called the reactable. The reactable is essentially a music synthesizer, and if you hear it played, it sounds similar to a lot of modern electronic dance music. The difference between the reactable and a typical synthesizer, however, is that participants manipulate sound with blocks on a round table. By rotating or moving the blocks on the table, a person (or several people) can tweak a variety of sounds, beats and notes, creating an electronic soundscape.

In addition to the ease with which you can maniupulate sound, there's also a visual element: The table has a translucent blue surface that lights up with dynamic animations that highlight the musical changes. For musicians and spectators alike, the reactable is a musical instrument that's not only fun to listen to, but fun to watch as well.

Remember when all you needed was a cassette and your Walkman? Well, those days are long gone. Recent studies have shown that it might be physically impossible to have too many music
gadgets. The sky's the limit as far as budget with these things, but there are a surprising number of new audio gadgets that won't make too much of a dent in your bank account. How much do these gadgets cost?

Proving that the third time really is the charm is Mobile Intelligent Ubiquitous (MIU) Technology's third incarnation of its Hybrid Dual Portable Computer (HDPC), which offended our eyes
when it first stepped out in public two years ago but actually looks quite stylish (albeit a tad rendered) now. Details have always been a bit vague on what exactly warrants the "dual" in its name, but the latest set of product pages and "MIU Notices" contain enough information to put together a clearer picture of what the HDPC is all about.
It turns out that the D in HDPC is incredibly well deserved because the device has two screens, two processors, and two operating systems.
The 4.1-inch screen (800 x 480, TFT) may look like a typical slide-and-tilt display (similar to the AT&T Tilt, HTC Shift, or Willcom D4), but it actually goes one step further by flipping over to reveal a 2.4-inch screen (320 x 240, AMOLED) set above a keypad. You can see the screen sliding, tilting, and flipping in this video of what the HDPC used to looked like.
