A Great Pair of Wireless Desktop Speakers Is Your Deal of the Day

Just because a pair of speakers uses Bluetooth doesn't mean they're going to sound like crap. Audyssey's Wireless Bluetooth Speakers received several surprising rave reviews when they came out because they sound great and look handsome, too. But they were pricey.

Right now Woot's tech deal is a pair of Audyssey Wireless Bluetooth Speakers, which were well liked by Giz alum Sam Biddle. He concluded:

The speakers look great and sound fantastic, but $300 is a lot for Bluetooth stereo.... But if a 2.0 setup that pretty much every device that everyone owns will be able to send music to?and sound terrific?is worth $300 to you, then yes. But that's quite a bit?I'd recommend waiting for a sale or price drop.

The price has finally dropped. After shipping at Woot they're $105. Amazon's still selling them for $184. The MSRP is $300. They're new, not refurbished. They come with a one-year warranty. It's a good deal. [Woot via 9to5Toys]

I don't think I can emphasize enough how amazing the current Madden deal?yesterday's deal of the day?is. Sure, some of you aren't NFL fans, and that's OK. But if you've ever had a desire to watch a game outside of your home market, you've got to take another look.

Essentially, it's an opportunity to stream live NFL games on your computer. That's not available anywhere else, for any price. (Last season, I idly remarked that I'd pay $340 for it, at $20 per game.) And if you want to sign up for satellite TV, it'll save you $300 off the list price for Sunday Ticket?which turns out to be a pretty hefty discount. It's a serious deal and we're pimping it again because we think it's the best content deal we've ever posted on Dealzmodo.

Plus, Madden. Sportsball. Et cetera. [Amazon]

Hands-on with Otterbox Defender and Commuter cases for the HTC One

Two cases with distinct styling and different levels of protection

We're here at CTIA 2013 in Las Vegas, and although the show hasn't officially kicked off yet we had the opportunity to play with two of Otterbox's latest cases for the HTC One. At the middle and high tier of protection from Otterbox, the "Commuter" and "Defender" cases for the One are stylish but extremely functional options. The Commuter is the thinner of the two, with a two piece design that's primarily a rubber wrap-around case with a hard plastic shell that clips onto it. It doesn't add a considerable amount of bulk to the device but does add a serious amount of protection. If the Commuter isn't enough, the Defender will likely cover your device from anything you throw at it. A larger affair, the Defender has an integrated screen protector in the case, as well as extra shock protection. The end result is a case that is a touch thicker than the Commuter but considerably more rugged.

Both cases keep every function and button of the phone unobstructed -- as you would hope -- including the power button IR blaster and all microphone ports. Stick around after the break for a gallery of the two cases wrapped around an HTC One, with the thinner Commuter first then followed by the thicker and more durable Defender.

BoE governor King warns of euro risk to British recovery

This coming?weekend is a big one for?Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be. With West's apparent frustration with the show and his penchant for, shall we say ... off-the-cuff remarks, producers should be worried and we should be excited. Is there a better combo than that?

Tiny NASA Smartphone Satellites Photograph Earth from Space

Three consumer smartphones that were sent into orbit around Earth last month snapped some incredible photos of our planet from space.

The images were snitched together as part of NASA's PhoneSat initiative, which aims to show how existing technology could be incorporated into powerful low-cost satellites.

Named Alexander, Graham and Bell, the trio of tiny cube-shaped PhoneSats was launched into orbit during the inaugural test flight of Orbital Sciences Corp's Antares rocket on April 21.

Each PhoneSat had a smartphone for a brain. Alexander and Graham ? both PhoneSat 1.0s ? were battery-powered and carried a Nexus One smartphone running Goggle's Android operating system. Bell was a more advanced PhoneSat 2.0, built around a Nexus S smartphone running on Android. The nanosatellite was also outfitted with solar panels and a two-way radio that allowed engineers to control the satellite from the ground. What's perhaps most remarkable is that they were cheap. The three PhoneSats cost just $3,500 to $7,000 each; most satellites can cost upwards of $1 million. [Smartphones in Space! Photos of NASA's PhoneSats & More]

NASA officials were pleased with the brief mission, which ended on April 27, when the three satellites made a fiery re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

"During the short time the spacecraft were in orbit, we were able to demonstrate the smartphones' ability to act as satellites in the space environment," Bruce Yost, the program manager for NASA's Small Satellite Technology Program, said in a statement from the space agency.

As part of this demonstration, the smarthphones' cameras captured photos of Earth and converted them into image-data "packets" to be beamed back on the amateur radio spectrum. These packets were then decoded and put together by the PhoneSat team and amateur ham radio operators.

"The PhoneSat project also provided an opportunity for NASA to collaborate with its space enthusiasts," Yost added. "Amateur radio operators from every continent but Antarctica contributed in capturing the data packets we needed to piece together the smartphones' image of Earth from space."

Alberto Guillen Salas, an engineer at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., who is working on the PhoneSat project, said the team had received more than 300 data packets just three days into the mission.

"About 200 of the data packets were contributed by the global community and the remaining packets were received from members of our team with the help of the Ames Amateur Radio Club station, NA6MF," Salas said.

The PhoneSats aren't the first smartphones to fly in space. A British-built satellite called STRaND-1, which was put into orbit earlier this year, was powered by a Google Nexus One phone.

'Grimm' finale exclusive: Has Juliette lost it?

TV

By Courtney Hazlett TODAY.com

3 hours ago

Although it feels like we JUST got our "Grimm" back, the season finale is really upon us. It would be easy to get lost in the sadness a Grimm-less summer, so it's especially great to have this exclusive sneak peak to feast on ahead of Tuesday's finale.

It's a scene between Nick and his not-quite fiancee Juliette, where she seems to be confronting him on the whole Nick-is-a-Grimm thing.

"Well, I now know why you couldn't tell me everything," she starts off.

Calmly, Nick replies, "I wanted to tell you. I just didn't know how. I was afraid for you to see a world that I didn't fully understand and now I'm afraid to push you into a world you're not prepared for."

"It's not as if you were prepared for it," Juliette responds. "And at least I know I'm OK. I haven't lost my mind."

Except the way she says, "I haven't lost my mind"? It makes a person think SHE HAS TOTALLY LOST HER MIND.

Here's what we know: For some reason, Nick really loves Juliette. Juliette has been spending the past few episodes trying to A) piece together the details of her last lucid days as a doting girlfriend and almost-fiancee to Nick, and B) get all Wesen-induced weirdness out of her head.

So maybe she is just saying, "Hey, I get it now. And we can be together," or maybe she's saying that and she's giving us a little clue that this whole experience has left her a touch loony. (Not that we could blame her.) For Nick's sake, he might be better off without her. For the sake of keeping things interesting -- bring on the crazy.

Tune in to the season finale of "Grimm" Tuesday at 10 p.m. on NBC.
