Cali, let me ask you. Is there a chance for us to get some reviews of DSLRs? I would like to see something about Nikon D5100 and other DSLRs sometime. Thank you!

since wireless mobile broadband had been around, GSM/LTE/WiMAX/EVDO/Do Advance. ppl will facing signals problems. There're many external antenna designs such as Yagi, omni, biquard, and so on. signals from 450MHz upto 5GHz. signal channel to multi channels. Why not Geekbeat review those external antennas?

i know its not bluetooth but have you ever heard of vibro speakers? instead of vibrating sound coils it uses the surface to emit sound. i've got a mighty dwarf on my desk for review/testing, interesting technology, its nice to try out different surfaces for different sound qualities but i'm unsure about the price.
