Jawbone ICON HD + The Nerd



Not since "Smokey & the Bandit" has marketers come up with a silly sounding moniker like ICON HD & the Nerd. What we are describing is the latest product put out by Aliph in their Jawbone headset line.

Basically it is an updated ICON headset with expanded audio range for increased listening response now paired with "the Nerd" which is a USB dongle/adapter that makes adding it to your PC or Mac a snap. Now you can listen to computer audio and make PC-based VoIP calls all through the ICON HD earpiece headset. Just recently released in late August, it has several favorable reviews already.

Introducing Apple Thunderbolt


Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. And it’s available on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini computers. It sets new standards for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

All that power and blazing-fast data transfer flows through the Apple Thunderbolt Cable, one of the most advanced cables ever made. There are actual computer chips at the terminal ends of each cable. No single cable has been able to do so many things and do them with such astonishing speed. It doesn’t just connect high-performance devices. It is one.


Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. You also have more than enough bandwidth to daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub or switch.

Thunderbolt-ready devices.

Soon you’ll be able to connect to a host of Thunderbolt-enabled devices.1 Here are just a few of the first:
