Going wireless is a constant theme in electronics today, but one cord that is still hanging around is the one that tethers stereo headphones to portable music players. This year everyone seems to be jumping for the chance to cut it. Creative Labs is introducing wireless headphones and an adapter for its Zen Micro that uses a technology called magnetic induction for a clean signal and long battery life. The kit will be available this spring for $150, possibly along with a universal wireless kit for other MP3 players. Motorola and Toshiba are both launching wireless wraparound headphones that...
...Verizon Wireless fires up its new wireless broadband service in 32 cities, delivering DSL-like download speeds of 300 to 500 kbps and often higher.

But as Paul Rusesabagina in the independent film Hotel Rwanda, Cheadle shows he can fill the screen as well as anyone else...
...Yoshimi’s lone voice beautifully singing a wordless jazz riff. Her sustained final note fades into a rising tide of chimes and deep tribal drums that steadily pound away as metallic and organic percussive noise sounds throb in the background and spiral back and forth between the stereo channels. It seems strange to describe a 23 minute experimental-acoustic track as “sparse” and “restrained,” but both of these adjectives are apt to describe this, given the context of the recent V8rdom material and especially eYe?...
