Adapt converts standard headphones to Bluetooth

Adapt converts standard headphones to Bluetooth

The Adapt Bluetooth Headphone Adapter from Outdoor Tech is slightly misnamed.  It doesn't just work with headphones and earbuds; it can work with any speakers or device with a 3.5mm audio-in jack.  When you use it with your headphones or earbuds, convert your standard headphones into Bluetooth gear.  Simply clip the adapt to your clothing, and you can listen to music or take phone calls while your phone stays safely in your pocket or bag.  You can shorten up your cord so that your arms don't get tangled up or so you don't snag the cord on things as you pass by.

PS3/Xbox 360 Version Of Call Of Duty: Ghost Will Reduce Multiplayer Numbers

While having many players in a multiplayer game can be fun, especially if you like the ensuing chaos, it can dampen the overall experience as it can be messy as well as laggy at times. The good news is that if you're a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 gamer looking forward to getting their hands on Call of Duty: Ghosts, you're in luck because it seems that the console version of the game could have the maximum number of players in a multiplayer game reduced.

New Mac Pro's GPU Could Be User Replaceable

New Mac Pro's GPU Could Be User Replaceable

Apple's new Mac Pro has yet to be released, but it is expected to make its way into the eager hands of Apple users by the end of the year. The basic model will feature dual AMD FirePro D300 GPUs, while the higher-end model will pack AMD FirePro D700 GPUs. While we have yet to find out how well these GPUs perform in real life, we're sure there are some users out there who might not exactly be pleased with Apple's choice of GPU and are wondering if it is possible to replace them in the event that they want to upgrade them or if they need to be taken out to be fixed.

22,500 LG G2 Units Bound For Sprint Stolen

For over a month now Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers have been able to walk into their carrier's stores to pick up a LG G2, or have one delivered to them. Sprint subscribers have unfortunately had to wait a little bit longer. Earlier this month the carrier opened up pre-orders for the G2, which is expected to drop come November 8th. Sprint might have to send in additional supplies for Louisville, Kentucky, because unfortunately a truck carrying 22,500 LG G2 units bound for the city was stolen.
The theft took place around 6:30 pm earlier this week.

Qualcomm Doesn't See A 'Contest' Between Lumia 2520 And Surface 2

For long Nokia was rumored to be working on a tablet. Earlier this week the Finnish manufacturer finally unveiled its first tablet, the Nokia Lumia 2520. Despite the fact that it is currently under the process of being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia's new tablet puts it in direct competition with Redmond's new offering, the Surface 2. We've no doubt been wondering exactly how both tablets stack up against each other and Raj Talluri, SVP of product management at Qualcomm presents an interesting perspective.
