Distortion free audio???

Swedish high-end audio manufacturer Marten generally stick to speakers, but their latest work, the attractive M-Amp monoblock, is their first foray into the world of powered amplifiers. But are slick looks and distortion-free sound reproduction worth $45,000/pair to you? According to Stereophile, this pair of amplifiers produces sound that one would expect from a more technically capable setup. And Ultimate AV Mag describes the M-Amp's internal workings as such:

The fully balanced M-Amp is based on Marten's proprietary Adaptive Modulation Servo (AMS) technology, which is described as an "inverting, globally self-oscillating, class-D stage" as well as a "load-independent, wide-bandwidth, first-order modulator, switching at 600kHz, with a constant loop gain of 30dB all the way up to the switching frequency."

Paper Tablet??

The NoteSlate is a 13-inch e-ink tablet that mimics paper. You can jot down notes with the stylus and store them digitally—so simple, yet so awesome. I'd never buy a Moleskine again. Coming out in June 2011 for $100 I'm going to warn myself that this is probably too good to be true. But please, oh please, let this be real! The NoteSlate is supposed to come in various colors, lasts over 180 hours in battery life and can even listen to mp3s for some reason. I've been wanting something like the NoteSlate for a while now, let's hope it's real (and good).
