Bang & Olufsen’s audio equipment almost always comes with prohibitive price tags, so I’m not too shocked by the MSRP of $ 2,000 on its new portable speaker. It also looks elegant, timeless, and looks surprisingly functional.

You can move the Beosound level from a wall bracket (sold separately) to an outdoor side table. It even comes with its own magnetic MagSafe-style charging washer. Inside, a set of five speakers – including two four-inch woofers, a two-inch full-range speaker, two 0.8-inch tweeters, and low-distortion amps – handle all of your audio content.

It comes with a replaceable streaming module that will further power the company’s future home speakers. Bang & Olufsen claims the module has “enough processing power and connectivity technology” to accommodate updates to improve performance and new features in the future. The company also claims that the “modular” design of the speaker allows customers to perform easy maintenance tasks, such as replacing the battery, and gives service partners better access to key components. I can’t guarantee how future-proof it really is, and yes it’s still a $ 2000- $ 2300 speaker if you want the gold option. Still, I want it a bit.

The Electric Hummer and Lyriq make appearances.

Will Ferrell, who finds out that Norway is far ahead of the United States in electric vehicle adoption, is the star of General Motors' big game ad.  In the commercial, "No Way, Norway," Kenan Thompson and Awkwafina join Ferrell on his action-packed journey to give Norwegians peace of mind.

A virtual receptionist is just the start.

Zoom

Zoom’s latest update helps you minimize contact with others in meeting rooms and beyond. It starts at the front desk – a kiosk mode allows a virtual receptionist to greet you from a Zoom Rooms for Touch device.

PlayStation had its best quarter in history.

PS5

Sony never seemed to have enough PlayStation 5 stock since its launch, but still managed to sell 4.5 million consoles in 2020, which matches the sales of PS4 in the console’s launch quarter in 2020. 2013. Profits also increased 50% to 80.2 billion yen ($ 763 million), due to the increase in game sales amounting to 484 billion yen ($ 4.6 billion) , which actually doubled the 240 billion yen ($ 2.3 billion) in hardware sales.

That’s good, because Sony loses money on every new PS5 it sells because it set “strategic prices for PS5 hardware that were … lower than manufacturing costs.” The business plan for a game console remains the same: to make money by selling games and services after building a suitable installed base.
