The Little Speaker with Big Sound Causes Last Minute Order Rush on...

4:37 PM

Unknown

Two designers John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen and Vitor Santa Maria knew their modestly designed “no buttons or knobs” HiddenRadio would create a massive sound. What the two didn’t expect was the massive following they would received in such a short amount of time. Since the product launched less than 2 months ago, The HiddenRadio and Bluetooth speaker has received over six times the amount of funding the designers originally asked for.

“The support we’ve received is extraordinary and extremely appreciated. The extra money has helped us add more features and deliver an even higher quality product,” says Australian designer John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen now based out of San Francisco. John and his business partner Vitor Santa Maria founded HiddenRadio Design over 4 years ago. Vitor is from Rio de Janeiro but has been a designer in Milan for over 18 years.

The product was designed on the basis of consumer intuition. “Our approach is to create simple designs which make a positive impact in people’s lives,” says Vitor. The device is both elegant and extremely useful. Several speakers can be placed around the house and the user can connect with each one creating abundant sound inside as well as outdoors.

It provides several functions: it's a wireless Bluetooth speaker with FM radio that works with leading electronic devices like iPhones, iPods, iPads, or any other smartphones, tablets and computers. It runs on rechargeable batteries, which last over 30 hours on a single charge. There is also a standard 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting with non-Bluetooth devices.

The HiddenRadio and Bluetooth Speaker delivers pure, powerful sound, “We've tested it side by side with leading products on the market, and it has excelled in both sound quality and battery life,” says John.

The HiddenRadio is only available now at Kickstarter.com. The clock is ticking down to pre-order and be the first to own the Bluetooth wireless speaker with FM radio. People can support the development of this product through the Kickstarter.com by pre-ordering their unit for $119, which will normally retail for $175. This will secure delivery of a limited- edition product directly to their homes with global shipping included.

The designers have already invested over $50,000 to develop the product and the capital raised through Kickstarter.com will be spent on injection molding tools, Bluetooth certification, initial inventory, and other equipment necessary for mass production. This is a chance to promote and support the production of this simple, useful and elegantly product before it hits the main market.

Orders can be placed for a limited time at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2107726947/hidden-radio-and-bluetooth-speaker

Tucker Kicks Off 2012 in Winning Fashion, Claims 70th Career Win

2:49 AM

Unknown

While the 2012 season hasn’t begun for most drivers and teams, Scott Tucker has already kicked off the New Year in dominant fashion, claiming five victories in eight races during a remarkable two-week stretch of SCCA National Championship events in Florida.

Tucker, who is coming off one of his most successful seasons to date, earning his second consecutive American Le Mans Series title and third straight SCCA National Championship crown in 2011, took his Level 5 Motorsports team to Sebring International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway for two packed weekends of racing. The focus of the ambitious effort was to qualify the five-time national driving champion for this year’s Runoffs in both the Grand Sport 2 (GT-2) and D Sports Racing (DSR) categories. Each competitor needs four race finishes to be eligible for the National Championship, held annually at Road America in September.

In the pair of DSR races at the BFGoodrich SCCA Super Tour at Sebring on Jan. 7-8, Tucker went undefeated in his No. 55 West WX10 sports racer, winning both hard-fought battles, including one from the pole position. In Race 2, Tucker held off a charging Charles Dempsey by 0.325 seconds to take his 67th career victory.

For the two 13-lap GT-2 races, Tucker showed impressive pace in his Porsche 997 Cup car, qualifying on pole for Race 1 with a 2:25.2 lap time. However, a left-front tire puncture on the first lap forced an early pit stop and swap to the backup car, which ultimately dropped him two laps back. His fortunes improved in Race 2 with a third-place finish, although a full-course caution, which led to an early checkered flag, dashed any hopes of a victory.

Just one week later, Tucker was back in action at Homestead-Miami Speedway, taking part in the Florida Region Palm Tree Double National on Jan. 13-15 with his West WX10 sports racer and Porsche 997 Cup car once again. While another win and runner-up finish in DSR gave him a convincing lead in the National Championship standings, Tucker rebounded from the unlucky breaks at Sebring to dominate the GT-2 races at Homestead-Miami. Having started from pole in both events, Tucker led all but one lap in the two races combined, earning is 69th and 70th career victories.

“It was a real satisfying couple of weekends for us and a great way to start the season,” Tucker said. “The team worked real hard to put these cars together and I enjoyed some good battles on the track. We had some challenges to overcome but it all worked out in the end and I’m glad to be going for my fourth National Championship in a row later this year.”

With the goal of achieving entries to the SCCA National Championships in DSR and GT-2 now complete, Tucker will head to the Runoffs at Road America on Sept. 20-23 with the opportunity of earning two additional titles to his already impressive resume, as he nears an unprecedented 75th career victory after just six years of racing.

fashion

Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports will now turn their attention to the start of the American Le Mans Series, with the annual Sebring Winter Test on Feb. 8-9 to kick off their quest for back-to-back LMP2 championships. Level 5 is expected to debut its new Honda Performance Development ARX-03b early next month at the two-day test. Both of Level 5's cost-capped LMP2 cars will be ready for the 60th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on March 17, which will open the ALMS season and also serve as the start of the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship.

About Level 5 Motorsports

Team owner and driver Scott Tucker has earned five national championships and has more than 100 podium finishes and 70 victories in his driving career. Level 5 is based in Madison, Wisconsin.

With SOPA In The News: Marketers Are Going Back To School On Fair Use

10:10 AM

Unknown

Compendium, the world's leading provider of business blogging software, announced today it will offer a free guide to blogging fair use on its website, as recent discussions surrounding the SOPA debate have rekindled bloggers’ interest in the subject. SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, has many marketers concerned, since it could potentially change the internet as we know it. With the concerns brought about by SOPA, many marketers have also begun to think again about other areas of the law that could greatly affect their online strategy, including fair use.

“Because of the high volume of questions we have received regarding fair use, we wanted to create a free resource that would provide credible answers for bloggers and content marketers,” said Frank Dale, CEO of Compendium. “We know that many marketers are faced with tough legal issues every day. With input from Alerding Castor, an expert in business law, our resource will serve as a reference that can be used to distinguish between the proper and improper use of content.”

“We’ve always been mindful of fair use given our industry, but SOPA is making the subject even more important. There’s a constant need to balance nimble and timely content with fair use, and SOPA could make the situation even more delicate,” said Ben Hanson, Internet Content Specialist of Swanson Health Products. .

Compendium’s Fair Use Guide will outline the Fair Use doctrine and will feature basic information on the rights of a copyright owner, so one can better understand Fair Use. It also covers various scenarios that might be considered acceptable fair use, as well as steps marketers can take to make sure they’re not crossing any lines unintentionally.

SOPA

"As I read more about the SOPA debate, it made me realize that we need to better understand fair use," said Lindsay Schmitt, Director of Marketing and New Media at The College Network. "We work hard to make sure our company blog provides valuable information for our customers, and we try to always attribute sources. We would certainly not want to accidentally misuse any copyrighted material. However, in this day and age, it's becoming extremely hard to discern what can and cannot be used for our blog content."
