You can now count Sony among those as the company revealed its LinkBuds Clip ($230) open-fit earbuds today.  These aren’t the... Read more ›

One of the disconcerting things about using a virtual private network (VPN) is that it can be hard to tell when it's doing its job. The best VPNs all work in the background to keep your IP address hidden and your communications with their servers encrypted. The better the VPN, the less you notice it, which can make a top-performing VPN feel (uncomfortably) like one that isn't working at all.Luckily,... Read more ›

Akai's MPC XL groovebox is the most powerful device the company has ever made

Akai just revealed its most powerful standalone groovebox, the MPC XL. For the uninitiated, the MPC has been around since the 1980s and pretty much defined hip hop from that era.
