House of Marley launches new REBEL Bluetooth headphones, get them now for $69

The House of Marley have added a new set of Bluetooth headphones to their ever-growing line of products today with the REBEL’s.  The REBEL line takes all the signature sound of the Roar wired line of headsets and makes them wireless. The affordable REBEL features housings made of blended materials based on bio-mass and eco-plastics to ensure a balance of durability and environmental sustainability. All of which are part of the House of Marley’s company values. They pack in a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated for 8 hours of continuous playback, wireless controller to switch songs, integrated mic to take calls and use voice commands, removeable in-line mic cable and Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP stereo audio. The 40mm moving coil drivers deliver 15Hz – 22kHz frequency response for clear, long listening sound.

“We took the essentials of our Roar wired headphones and gave them a lift with Bluetooth convenience to create REBEL,” said Sam Vanderveer, senior vice president and general manager of House of Marley. “We wanted to make a headset that is affordable and still deliver the quality and sustainable craftsmanship our audiences have come to expect from House of Marley. REBEL BT embodies both these qualities—and does it with style. We’re very proud to introduce this headset.”

The ear pads are Luxe padding and the Regrind silicone rubber headband helps keep these new headphones comfortably on your dome.

The new REBEL BT line is available for purchase today for a very affordable $69.00 and come in Black, Grey or Navy. Personally, the Grey looks the best to me. Check them out at House of Marley and grab a pair or two for the holidays.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad P40 Yoga is a hybrid PC with pro-level power

Lenovo’s existing ThinkPad Yoga hybrids have some power, but they’re probably not your first choice for heavy-duty graphics work when they’re saddled with integrated video. Thankfully, you now have a beefier option: Lenovo is introducing the ThinkPad P40 Yoga, its first 2-in-1 laptop with workstation-level 3D hardware. It still folds back into a tablet (or tent, or presentation mode), but its Quadro M500M chipset should be speedy enough to handle 3D modelling and other GPU-heavy tasks. You’ll have greater control over those images, too, thanks to an included pen that promises both 2,048 levels of pressure and specially-tuned software that reportedly gets closer to the “pen to paper” feel.

This revelation not only explains a fundamental aspect of our universe but could also influence how quantum computing systems are designed.

Details of FBI’s National Security Letter revealed for the first time

The FBI has been secretly tracking user information without judicial oversight since 2001. Ever since the Patriot Act’s controversial expansion of the Bureau’s authority, tens of thousands of National Security Letters (NSLs) have been issued every year without warrants or evidence of probable cause. The content of these letters, accompanied by a gag order that prevents the recipient from ever talking about the information demanded, have stayed under wraps until now. In a recent landmark ruling from the federal district court, a gag order imposed on Nicholas Merrill, owner of an Internet service provider, has been lifted in full for the first time. Even though the court’s ruling invalidated the FBI’s gag order in September, following procedures the contents of the NSL only became public this week.
