Aperion Expands the Intimus Loudspeaker Lineup[teaser]The speakers are designed for the best possible sound at more affordable prices. [/teaser] Aperion recognizes that things are rough all over and has designed a set of speakers to meet the needs of those without too much cash lying around. "Our design goal for the updated Intimus series," says speaker engineer Ken Humphries, "was to deliver an even better value to end users without impacting the sonic performance." Humphries says that he and his team took a look at the Intimus series and determined just what each piece of the speaker contributed to the overall product, finding a few things that were just plain unnecessary. "For example," says Humphries, "most home theaters now use LCD or plasma TVs, so we eliminated the magnetic shielding used to prevent speakers from distorting the picture on CRT TVs." Pricing for the new Intimus speakers is $130 for the center channel, $550 for a pair of L/R towers and $220 for each pair of satellites. The cherry finished models are out now while ash black comes at the end of November. Source: eCousticsPosted Mon Nov 7, 2011 at 09:00 AM PST by: -

Netflix Lays Off Employees - Freezes Hiring[teaser]Things are on a downturn for the streaming service which was dominating until oh so recently. [/teaser] The folks at Netflix were used to an upward trend in sales and subscribers. More people kept joining the service and the money kept rolling in - it seemed like there was no end in sight. Then they made some really strange decisions, including a massive price hike, and a quickly scuttled branch-off service called Qwickster. They've been feeling the hurt on the stock market and it's finally come to some pretty significant layoffs. It's public that the company has laid off 15 or so people in human resources, but according to Hacking Netflix, over 90 employees have been fired from the main call center. Netflix says they hired these new people in anticipation of the Qwickster/Netflix split, but when that didn't happen, they were let go. This certainly isn't the kind of news that spells doom for the company, but it does reflect further on the company's poor decision making and possible overreach.
