Harvey Pekar, ‘American Splendor’ Creator, Dead at 70. The great comic book artist Harvey Pekar died early this morning.

The cause of death is unknown, but he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 1990.

Pekar is most known for his "American Splendor" comic books; a biopic movie of the same name starring Paul Giamatti was released in 2003. Although comic lovers were rabid followers of "American Splendor," Pekar grabbed national attention in the late 1980s.

ReBirth, the Roland groovebox emulation that helped launch the popularity of soft synths, is now on Apple’s mobile devices for US$6.99. (I woke up to a note from Propellerheads’ CEO Ernst left in my inbox overnight, so thanks, Ernst, for the tip!)

This is not the native iPad version MusicRadar predicted after an interview with Ernst. For now, iPads scale up the iPhone interface. But a version with “native” resolution for the tablet seems a no-brainer down the road.

Feature list:

• 2 x TB-303 Bassline synths
• TR-808 Drum Machine
• TR-909 Drum Machine
• Pattern Controlled Filter
• Distortion unit
• Compressor
• Mixer
• 5 user mods
• Pattern sequencing
• Full automation
• Combine patterns to build songs
• Share songs with other ReBirth users

It’s still far, far too early to call WiMAX a dead technology, but with the second major infrastructure supplier moving away from it in as many months, that’s a pretty damning sign, isn’t it? After Alcatel Lucent’s announcement  that it would be scaling back WiMAX investment last month, Cisco has now pulled the plug on its own efforts, citing a desire to stay as “radio-agnostic” as possible in the 4G race. That makes sense for a company that hasn’t traditionally played in the wireless game the same way stalwarts like Ericsson and Nokia Siemens have, but the move still lies in stark contrast to Cisco’s 2007 acquisition of Navini Networks that brought a host of WiMAX-focused equipment into the fold. Of course, CDMA has managed just fine in the shadow of GSM’s global domination over the past decade, so these early warning signs could amount a fat load of nothing by the time we’ve reached a 4G steady state.

A rear-view camera is also standard issue on the Gallardo SE, as is a multimedia system and a navigation system. The sport suspension and an exclusive cover also came with the car but there are still several other options available, like the E-gear, which featured a ‘thrust’ mode to offer even more impressive acceleration by improving the gear change through the different gears.

Just watch the video!

…And Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear has one… so maybe buy a 911 coupe for using from Monday to Thursday but Friday to Sunday the Gallardo Spyder… 911 should copy the suspension feature for bumps… Saving, saving and playing the Lotto!

El Concurso Internacional de Grabación Amateur nace con los comienzos de la radiofonía en los años 30, cuando aficionados se dedicaron a la grabación de sonidos diversos. El primer concurso fue organizado en
1952 en Lausanne, Suiza, y el primer premio lo obtuvo el estudiante Stefan Kudelski quien participó en la competencia con una grabadora “hecha en casa”.
