Wireless Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers
Sandy Cheeks writes "The Saitek A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System made a stong impression when showcased at this year's CES with its sleek styling and rather impressive performance... The compact boomerang shaped device can provide 2.1 stereo sound up to 30 meters away from a source PC, and can alternatively be used hard wired to any other audio source with an 1/8" stereo jack output."
I always get a kick out of marketing hype surrounding wireless capabilities.
30 meters? I bet its more like 3 with marginal quality.
Are you intolerant of intolerant people?
Headphone Output. Seriously, I don't understand why anyone manufactures PC speakers without a headphone jack when you can buy a pair for $5 that has it.
120 characters for a sig? That's bloody useless.
1) Do something
2) ????????????
3) Profit!
I think I finally figured out step 2. It's advertise with a "story" on Slashdot.

Perhaps you can continue whatever work Nikola Tesla had started before being shut down by the government.
It's like sex, except I'm having it!
I got an Airport Express for this sort of thing and it also doubles as a wireless router. You will need a Hi-Fi or some set of powered speakers, but it works well enough. Depending on your set up you may experience a bit of lag.
Jumpstart the tartan drive.
From the specs:
True digital-delivery 2.1 stereo through 2 main drivers and an active sub-woofer
I'm fairly up to speed on signal processing and such, but what exactly is "true digital-delivery"? How does it differ from "false digital-delivery" (if there is such a thing)? I can't say that I have *ever* heard this phrase before.
My guess as to what it means is that it's a digital transmission instead of analog transmission (e.g., FM radio). But big freakin whoop!
37 results on google and at least half are for this product. What's it say about you when your marketers confuse people that are in-the-know by making up buzzwords? I know, I know: then they wouldn't be marketers.

How about solar cells charged batteries? I charged the batteries in my salingboat with solar cells. It was enough for lanterns, radio and internal light. You obviusly have to have your speakers in a light environment and not run for full effect all the time.
