Line 6 has unleashed what's claimed to be an
entirely new kind of guitar amplifier. In addition to a powerful guitar
speaker sitting behind the red grille at the bottom, the AMPLIFi is also
home to full range stereo speakers in the black top section. The design
is claimed to offer players a wider frequency range, but the inclusion
of Bluetooth technology also allows the system to be used as a streaming
audio speaker. Impressive stuff, but the company didn't stop there. A
companion app has been created that opens up the system to a new world
of tone. The Remote app will even suggest matches for the sound of
guitars in favorite songs so that you can easily nail the tone of your
heroes, or jam along to tracks without sounding (too) out of place. Read More

Alpha Centauri B may have "superhabitable" worlds
By David Szondy
January 27, 2014
Since Earth is the only known inhabited planet
and we happen to live here, it’s only natural to regard it as the ideal
place for life to exist, and to assume that another life-bearing planet
would be fairly similar. However, that is not the opinion of scientists
René Heller and John Armstrong who contend that there might be a planet
even more suitable for life than Earth 4.3 light years away orbiting the
star Alpha Centauri B. Read More
Ozgur Sahin believes that water evaporation is
the largest power source in nature. In an effort to demonstrate the
potential of this untapped resource, Sahin and his fellow researchers
have created prototype electrical generators with rubber sheets that
move in response to changes in humidity thanks to a coating of bacterial
spores. Read More

of their specs and features. But now that we've had some extended
hands-on time with both handsets, we thought it was worth revisiting the
decision. Read on, as Gizmag goes hands-on to compare the LG/Google Nexus 5 and Apple iPhone 5s. Read More
