JBL Boost TV review

JBL Boost TV review: 

The Good The JBL Boost TV is simple to set up and gives you better sound than almost any television. The unit is compact and includes the most-used connections. The speaker sounds better than many portable Bluetooth speakers at the same price.

The Bad The Boost can sound shouty at high volume or with bright music. There's little stereo separation. You can buy a full sound bar and subwoofer system with streaming features for the same money.

The Bottom Line The JBL Boost TV offers a simple, effective upgrade to your existing television sound with the option of Bluetooth streaming thrown in.

As TV screens have gotten thinner, their speakers have shrunken accordingly. That often makes for audio that can sound less robust than some of the old tube TVs of yore. But there is something you can do about it. While home theater in a box systems and sound bars have been offering affordable alternatives for many years, we're now entering a realm of "mini sound bars." Zvox has its upcoming 17-inch wide Accuvoice TV speaker. And Sony's SRS-ZR7 is a supercharged wireless speaker with an HDMI input for doubling as a TV speaker. Now along comes a third option: the JBL Boost TV.

This is a foot-or-so long speaker which offers Bluetooth and TV connectivity all tied up in a tidy design. While it's not perfect -- it can sound a little harsh at volume or with the wrong music -- the JBL does what it says it will: It amps up your TV's volume.

The JBL Boost TV retails for $200 or £170 in the UK, putting it under the price of most good sound bar systems, but in line with many of the top-notch Bluetooth wireless speakers you can buy. (It doesn't appear to be available in Australia, but the price translates to about AU$260.)

Design and features

The JBL Boost TV is a compact speaker which offers Bluetooth connectivity is addition to an optical input

The Boost TV is shaped like a football and features two large bass ports at either end. The unit is smaller than most sound bars at 14.8 inches long and 3.3 inches high (37.6 by 8.4 cm).

The speaker features two 50mm "transducers" which appear to wrap around inside the top and front of the unit. This arrangement was presumably designed so you could wall-mount the speaker, though it lacks any way to actually mount it.

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves Apple is considering ways to empower the iPhone with active protections after being stolen, according to a new patent application. What if your iPhone could help actively protect itself, even after it's been stolen? That potential idea was considered in a new patent application Apple filed Thursday with the US Patent & Trademark Office.  According to the application, which AppleInsider wrote about, a future iPhone may -- when triggered by the right circumstances -- start documenting an alleged thief's fingerprints through the Touch ID home button, picture and videos from the cameras and even voice from the microphone. Such capabilities, while perhaps legally questionable, could go much further than Apple's current lock screen and Find My iPhone app. An Apple representative didn't respond to a request for comment.

Intel Compute Stick review

Intel Compute Stick review  ntel's Compute Stick, an entire PC crammed into an HDMI stick that fits in the palm of your hand, is nothing short of a landmark in computing. Fifty years of Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors that can be crammed onto an integrated circuit doubles every two years, has resulted in a little plastic stick that plugs into any HDMI-equipped TV or computer display, transforming it into a full-fledged Windows 8.1 PC. Just don't get any crazy ideas about gaming on it — or, indeed, doing any intensive amount of multitasking — and the Compute Stick isn't half bad. I tested out the $150 Windows 8.1 version with a 1.3GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot on one side for additional storage expansion, and a full-sized USB 2.0 port and Micro USB port on the other for power. The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS OS model is physically identical — a black stick w...
