Samsung's vacuum tube driven speaker lineup gets priced for US, available this Spring

Image
It's no secret that Samsung's been teasing a major interest in premium audio since CES, blending digitally powered speakers with vacuum tube pre-amplifiers. We didn't get a chance to check the systems out in Vegas, but today the company's spilling the details regarding US pricing on a trio of systems, all of which will be available in the Spring. The star of the show is the $800 DA-E750 Audio Dock, featuring the rear-mounted dual dock for Galaxy (charging only) and iOS devices we first saw last month. Clad in a polished wood case (available in black or cherry), the 2.1 stereo system pumps out up to 100 watts of power through its glass fiber speakers and tweeters. As an added touch, its JJ Electronics 12AU7 tubes (the same you could use for guitar amps) are sunken in from its top under glass, allowing for clear view of their glow. Best of all, aside from the requisite USB and 3.5mm inputs, the DA-870 works wirelessly with Samsung's AllShare Play, AirPlay and Bluetooth 3.0 w/ aptX.

Moving past the HiFi category, Samsung's also priced a duo of surround sound systems aimed at the home theater market. To start, there's the $1,000 HT-E6730W Blu-ray 3D 7.1 home theater system and its $800 5.1 sibling, the HT-E6500W Blu-ray 3D -- both of which feature the same tube pre-amp and similar wireless capabilities as the DA-E750. Notably, the E6730W features a tiltable top speaker on each of its stereo towers, allowing for a more personalized output depending on your room. Furthermore, if you happen to have a DA-E750, too, you'll be able to stream the audio via Bluetooth if you find yourself far away from your television. There's no exact date on when you'll be able snag any of them, but Samsung notes that the 5.1 system is currently shipping.

Officials: Pakistani Taliban training Frenchmen

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) ? Dozens of French Muslims are training with the Taliban in northwestern Pakistan, raising fears of future attacks following the shooting deaths of seven people in southern France allegedly by a man who spent time in the region, Pakistani intelligence officials said Saturday.

Authorities are investigating whether Mohamed Merah, the Frenchman of Algerian descent who is suspected of killing three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three French paratroopers in Toulouse this month, was among the training group, the officials said.

Merah was killed in a dramatic gunfight with police Thursday after a 32-hour standoff at his Toulouse apartment. The 23-year-old former auto body worker traveled twice to Afghanistan in 2010 and to Pakistan in 2011, and said he trained with al-Qaida in the Pakistani militant stronghold of Waziristan.

Approximately 85 Frenchmen have been training with the Pakistani Taliban in the North Waziristan tribal area for the past three years, according to the intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Most of the men have dual nationality with France and North African countries.

The Frenchmen operate under the name Jihad-e-Islami and are being trained to use explosives and other weapons at camps near the town of Miran Shah and in the Datta Khel area, the officials said. They are led by a French commander who goes by the name Abu Tarek. Five of the men returned to France in January 2011 to find new recruits, according to the officials. It's unclear whether Merah was among that group.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy promised a crackdown on French citizens found to have trained in terror camps abroad.

"Anyone who goes abroad to follow ideological courses that lead to terrorism will be criminally punished. The response will be prison," he said in a campaign speech Saturday.

A senior French official close to the investigation into the shootings told The Associated Press on Friday that despite Merah's claims of al-Qaida links, there was no sign he had "trained or been in contact with organized groups or jihadists."

A militant commander, Ahmed Marwat, claimed in a phone call with the AP on Saturday that Merah was affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban in Waziristan, but provided no details. Marwat said he was part of the Jundullah wing of the Pakistani Taliban.

The claim could not be independently verified.

The Pakistani Taliban, which is closely allied with al-Qaida, has carried out hundreds of attacks in Pakistan over the past several years that have killed thousands of people. Taliban leaders say they want to oust the U.S.-backed government and install a hardline Islamist regime. They also have international jihadi ambitions and trained the Pakistani-American who tried to detonate a car bomb in New York City's Times Square in 2010.

The main sanctuary for the Pakistani Taliban is the restive tribal region along the Afghan border, especially North and South Waziristan. Despite a large military offensive in South Waziristan in 2009, the government has very little control over the area.

Western officials have been concerned for years about Muslim militants with European citizenship visiting northwestern Pakistan, possibly training for missions that could include terror attacks in Europe where they would act as "lone wolves" or on the orders of others. In 2010 alone, dozens were believed to be there.

Merah told police during the standoff that he was trained "by a single person" when he was in Waziristan, not in a training center, so as not to be singled out because he spoke French," the director of the DCRI intelligence service, Bernard Squarcini, told the Le Monde newspaper.

Merah was questioned by French intelligence officers last November after his second trip to Afghanistan, and was cooperative and provided a USB key with tourist-like photos of his trip, the French official close to the investigation told the AP.

While he was under surveillance last year, Merah was never seen contacting any radicals and went to nightclubs, not mosques, the official said. People who knew him confirmed that he was at a nightclub in recent weeks.

Merah told negotiators during the police standoff that he was able to buy a large arsenal of weapons thanks to years of petty theft, the official said.

French prosecutors said Merah filmed himself carrying out the three shooting attacks in Toulouse that began March 11.

Game of the Week: Final Fantasy VIII | Video Games, Reviews ...

Final Fantasy VIII Logo

Final Fantasy VIII was released for the Playstation in 1999. This entry in the renowned RPG series courted controversy, and continues to do so. It seems to play with the foundations of how a Final Fantasy game should work, perhaps a push too far in an attempt to be original. This has led the title to be both loved and hated in equal measure. Let?s take a closer look at just what has resulted in this divided opinion.

One of several innovations to the Final Fantasy mechanics is the junctioning system. Oddly, levelling on its own is more of a hindrance than a help. This is due to the fact that the myriad of opponents you?ll face in the game take on levels equal to your party. The stat boosts they gain while earning experience in this way are vastly superior to your own. Which of course leaves you terribly humbled in comparison. This is quite a departure for the grinding-happy genre, and remains a real bone of contention among players. It does not mean, however, that you can?t create an overpowered uber-party if you wish to. This is where the odd notion of junctioning comes in.

Final Fantasy VIII Header

Junctioning begins with your GFs. These are Guardian Forces, the summon monsters of Final Fantasy VIII. Each one must essentially be equipped to a party member. When they are summoned to attack, they will not require MP but take a short time to materialize. During this period, their own HP will replace that of the character and will take the brunt of any assault aimed at them. GFs are lesser party members in their own right, learning a wide range of abilities to power up your fighters. Each of your character?s stats are tied to a certain ability. As each is learned, you can equip a spell from your arsenal to that stat in the Junction menu. Choosing the appropriate magic is the best way to build your combat strength. A healing spell linked to HP, for example, will grant a huge boost to your health.

The subject of magic marks another jarring change for veteran questers. MP is not used, instead magic is either acquired from enemies using the Draw command or refined from items. Each method grants you a certain number of the spell in question, up to a total of 100. This indicates the amount of uses of the spell you have stocked. A greater number also increases the effect of a junctioned spell on the related stat.

All of these are cited as contributing factors in Final Fantasy VIII?s notoriety. Continuing a successful series is always a delicate balancing act for developers, particularly with a franchise as beloved as this. Changing too much will often lead to an outcry, while the other route can yield accusations of staleness. Damned if you do, damned if you don?t.

Final Fantasy VIII Squall

With that said, the Playstation triumvirate of Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX are some of my favourite games of all time. I?d say VIII was the oddball, black sheep of the family, but I found it just as engaging. The storyline was a highlight for me, I enjoyed Squall Leonheart?s journey from antisocial teenager to reluctant hero. There are so many memorable moments, ranging from fighting the hundred-feet-tall Jumbo Cactaur to the reunion with Rinoa aboard the Ragnarok. In a similar case to Super Mario Sunshine, some will agree with me and welcomed the changes, while others hated the game. Ultimately, it?s for the individual player to decide. Still, an entry in a popular franchise that dares to mix things up should perhaps be celebrated on its own merits, alongside the damaging comparisons being drawn.

Learn How To Become an Affiliate Marketing Superstar | Article ...

Affiliate marketing is a web marketing strategy utilized by companies in order to honor an online affiliate for each client or website visitor brought about by the marketer?s personal marketing efforts and sell another person?s services or products. The returns, normally financial, are restricted only by the artistic marketing effort invested in the project. An affiliate marketer is an individual that becomes a part of the business team to help sell a product or provide clients to its web based store.
?
Affiliate marketers initiate promotion attempts that have been developed for promotional reasons and intended to sell a product or service.. Affiliate marketers often create their very own techniques of marketing and if successful, continue using the tested technique. The practices applied are mainly web based yet often include non web based approaches.
?
The online methods consist of email marketing, email list building, search engine marketing sometimes called SEO, display advertising, printed testimonials of the products, blogs, paid search engine marketing, and article marketing to name just a few. A number of the non web based strategies applied are primarily print advertising, cold calling, warm marketing and direct mail. Employing a blend of procedures enables the affiliate marketer to get to individuals who use a computer a lot of the time and those people who are minimal computer users and in some cases those who do not use a computer in any way. Affiliate marketing, also known as revenue sharing, started in the late 1980?s when the owner of a flower and gift online business started offering commissions on product sales. Has now tuned into a multi-billion dollar industry and helped millions of people make a living at home or as a fulltime business and income replacement.
?
It started a trend in marketing that is booming today. For people who desire to engage in affiliate marketing, there are many programs around which have a product and a structured system in place. The curious person signs up to be an affiliate marketer and then proceeds with an advertising and marketing process to market that product or a number of products. The affiliate makes a certain amount of money for each item they are responsible for selling.
?
A lot of the structured programs incorporate prospecting other people to become affiliate marketers and also sell the product or service. There are many items out there that are accessible for revenue sharing without a program attached to it. The affiliate is an internet marketer with a webpage and possibly even online store that markets other people?s goods and earns a commission for each sale. Click Bank has countless eBooks readily available for revenue sharing. Each book readily available for revenue sharing has an established price tag and commission.
