Communication Items You'll Want Before TSHTF ? Part 1

Having good radio equipment is important for many reasons. What will you do when there is no Internet? What will you do when there is no cellphone service? How will you know what?s going on in other parts of the country, let alone the world? Radio signals don?t need an intermediary, they just bounce all over the earth and are received by radios.

?

?

It?s not even necessary that you transmit (speak) on the radio, but the information you can garner from just listening to others from far away is worth the time it takes to understand how to use a radio.

There are many ways to go in purchasing a communications radio, depending on your budget. You can buy yourself a brand new, state-of-the-art Kenwood or I-com for example, both of which are great radios. But the expense can be quite high, typically in the many hundreds of dollars.

A less expensive but just as viable way to go is a ?free band radio?. This is a 10 meter ham radio that has had additional freeband frequencies installed. This will expand coverage to include the 12, 11 (the CB frequency band) and sometimes 9 meter bands. In a converted CB radio, this is called a radio with extra channels.

A 10 meter radio is very common and inexpensive, as well as their low-rent cousins, CB radios. Many can be found on ebay for under $200 and may already have the additional frequencies installed. Also any good SSB (single side band) CB radio can have what they call ?Extra Channels Added? by any good tech. (Lots of mods here?http://www.dxzone.com/tag-cb-mods/.) CB shops at truck stops often times have used free band radios for sale at good prices, but check Ebay for prices on used radios before going.

Any frequency on the radio can be used in various modes, the most common being AM, Single Side Band (SSB), Upper Side Band (USB) and CW. CW means constant wave mode, which is the mode used for Morse Code and RTTY. It is possible to send several and receive multiple pages of text files via RTTY. The software needed can be found here (http://gmfsk.sourceforge.net/?). Radios with a CW mode like the RCI 2950 (et al) and the Uniden HR2510 have the CW mode installed. There are other models that also have CW mode, however no CB radios have CW mode. You can send pictures and text files to others, similar to a fax. This will be an excellent way for the people to maintain contact with others during times of crisis or total collapse.

The legal frequency range of a Citizens Band radio is 26905 megahertz through 27405 megahertz (mostly in 10 kilocycle steps per channel), covering the 40 channels of CB radio. Freebanding is when an unlicensed radio operator uses the non-allocated frequencies in the 11 meter band (CB radio and beyond). When society has collapsed, who care who has a license?

Most freebanders use the Single Side Band (SSB) mode of these channels as opposed to the AM mode. The chatter you may have heard on channel 19 (the truckers channel) is in the AM mode. AM mode of operation is limited in range, however using the SSB mode affords greater range and more output power. A legal CB radio has 4 watts output on the AM band and 12 watts on the SSB band.

This means that when conditions are right (sunspots, etc.) SSB signals can travel greater distances than those in the AM mode. One early morning, while driving west on I-90 in Idaho, I made a contact with Tokyo, Japan using SSB and a HR 2510 Uniden radio. That was a contact of over 7000 miles with less than 20 watts of power.

Once the world goes in to collapse there will still be thousands of people using the freebands. This can be used to create a radio round-robin or?relay?to share information and help others.

The international call frequencies are:

27555 USB The US and the world except for Europe

26285 USB Europe

First a little bit about how to use a call frequency. A call frequency is a frequency on which we make contact with someone who would like to have a conversation with us. The parties then go to another frequency of their choice to continue the conversation. It is unlike the chatter you may have heard on the AM side ? CB Channel 19 and all that noise. The conversation is called a QSO.

First we must wait for a moment of silence to break in and make our call. The protocol for asking for a QSO is like this:

?C-Q, C-Q, NEW MEXICO CALLING AND LISTING ON 27560? is a typical call or CQ (?seek-you?). This tells listeners on the call frequency where to find you to have a conversation. Then we move our frequency dial to that frequency. Once there we make another call like this:

?CQ CQ New Mexico calling for any and all stations.? Or if your are looking to make a contact in a specific place:

?CQ CQ New Mexico Calling for all stations in _____? (the place of your choosing) ?and standing by for contact.?

Antennas

There are many different kinds of viable antennas to use with your radio, some very cheap some very expensive.

Some of you may choose to make a wire antenna. One of the simplest wire antennas is the ?Inverted V? ? very good for long distance communications (what the radio community calls ?skip?). The inverted V can be made for the cost of some wire and a pole.

Others may prefer to purchase something ready made, in a box. For those of you who do, we can strongly suggest the ?V Quad?. This is a directional aluminum antenna that sends a strong signal in only one direction. Like the directional TV antennas of past times, this antenna needs a rotor (this is a motor to turn the antenna from the radio shack or you can use the ?armstrong? method). It is the best non-homebrew antenna that I have ever used.?http://www.livecbradio.com/11-meter-loop-antenna.htm

Either way, when the conditions are right you?ll be talking to the world.

When radio operators say, ?conditions are right? they mean that the skip conditions are good, allowing the radio signals to be received over longer distances than normal. Skip is when the signal travels along a mostly horizontal plane before it eventually hits the ionosphere. Like a flat rock across a lake, the signal will skip along rather than pierce the ionosphere and go out into space. This skip can cause your signal to be received with nearly as much strength as it had when it left your antenna. The contact I had with Tokyo gave me an S10 signal strength, and that is as high as it gets. Sunspots are generally the cause for good skip conditions.

Conservatives pour new money into 6 Senate races

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A conservative super PAC has jumped back into the Indiana Senate race with a nearly $1 million ad buy highlighting Democratic nominee Joe Donnelly's support for two of President Barack Obama's policies.

The Indiana buy is part of more than $6.4 million worth of air time that Crossroads GPS and American Crossroads bought this week in six Senate contests, according to Federal Election Commission records. The money also was dedicated to races in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada and Wisconsin.

Indiana, while appearing firmly in the GOP column, is emerging as a battleground state for control of the Senate.

Donnelly's opponent is Republican Richard Mourdock.

Crossroads GPS criticized Donnelly for voting for Obama's economic stimulus and health care overhaul. Donnelly's campaign said he supports making changes to the health care law.

Books on Caribbean history, fiction handed over to Culture Ministry

The Culture, Youth and Sport Ministry now has two new additions to its book collections, one about the life of Dr Denis Williams, and the other, a fictional book written by Scottish Andrew O Lindsay.
The first book, which was written by Evelyn Williams, is a full-colour production and tells of the unique story of a Guyanese who went to London and established himself. The book, The Art of Dr Denis Williams is about the art of Dr Williams, who was of African descent. He was one of the few people who were able to trace their roots through the Middle Passage and back to Africa.

Evelyn Williams hands over a copy of her book about her father, The Art of Dr Denis Williams to Culture, Youth, and Sport Minister, Dr Frank Anthony

Meanwhile, the second book, Illustrious Exile tells of a Scottish man who early in his life decided to work in the West Indies to better himself. He hoped to become established and live a rich life.
Culture, Youth and Sport Minister, Dr Frank Anthony stated that both books would be useful in his ministry, as well as the country, since The Art of Dr Denis Williams is based on the true story of a man who was very successful in his endeavours. He contributed significantly to Guyana and other places during his lifetime and was known for his dedication and hard work. O Lindsay?s Illustrious Exile is expected to appeal to the general public, especially since it is fictional and will leave readers captivated.
According to Dr Anthony, the books would be used to fill a gap in their respective categories, simultaneously making persons more aware of history as they circulate in Guyana. It is expected that within a short period of time, the books can be made available to the general public through bookstores and libraries.
More so, it is also hoped that more authors who pen similar stories and target the same audience focus on the country?s history and the Caribbean through their writing.
While noting that much work has been accomplished by many writers, both locally and internationally, Dr Anthony stated that the country will benefit from more such contributions.
Dr Williams was the first director of the Walter Roth Museum, who served from its founding in 1974 up to his death in 1998. Originally an artist and writer, he had first been exposed to archaeology in the Sudan. This interest was rekindled when he returned to Guyana in 1968 to live in the Mazaruni district. He was eventually able to pursue this interest full-time when he was appointed director of the newly-created Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology and Art History in 1974.
Dr Williams? primary interests as a researcher were Amerindian petroglyphs (rock engravings) and the paleoclimatic and archaeological investigations of the shell middens on the northwest coast of Guyana.? His skill as a writer served him well in his scientific papers and articles, as well as his numerous works of fiction.? In recognition of all his achievements, he received the Cacique Crown of Honour?and an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, in 1989.

Argentina and Iran to discuss 1990s bombings

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran and Argentina have agreed to a meeting to discuss two 1990s attacks on Jewish targets in Buenos Aires that were allegedly sponsored by the Islamic Republic, Argentina's president said on Tuesday.

Argentine courts have accused Iran of sponsoring a 1994 attack on a Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85 people.

That assault came two years after a group linked to Iran and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a bomb attack on the Israeli embassy in the Argentine capital, which killed 29. Tehran has denied links to either attack.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, said that after years of mostly fruitless diplomacy Iran had extended the offer to have a meeting last week.

Fernandez said the discussions would take place at the foreign minister level on the sidelines of the annual gathering of U.N. member states. Iran "wants to cooperate and collaborate over the investigation" of the attacks, she said.

An Iranian representative to the United Nations did not immediately respond to an e-mailed request from Reuters to confirm that a meeting would take place.

Iran has vehemently denied any role in the bombings for the past two decades, and it was unclear whether its decision to agree to a meeting now was related to mounting international pressure over its nuclear program.

Speculation over a possible Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear installations has increased in recent months. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also come under fire recently for anti-Israeli rhetoric, including his statement on Monday that Israel will be "eliminated.

Under sanctions and increasingly isolated due to its nuclear program, Tehran has few allies and needs friends. Argentina is also on the 35-nation board of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, where Iran's nuclear program is a key issue.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported in December, citing U.N. diplomats, that Argentina has quietly explored closer relations with Iran. The countries have seen growing trade ties, with Iran one of the biggest buyers of Argentine corn.

Nevertheless, Fernandez was careful to say that she would consult victims of the bombings during any talks - highlighting the political sensitivities she faces in Argentina, which is home to Latin America's largest Jewish population.

She also reiterated a previous offer to have courts in a third-party country investigate the bombings.

"I must tell you I expect results from this meeting," she said.

96% The Imposter

All Critics (89) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (85) | Rotten (4)

The most fascinating aspect of the movie is why the missing boy's family believed the imposter's story.

You may begin to wonder if you aren't being conned by the movie yourself.

Beverly Dollarhide, Nicholas's mother, says of the period after her son's disappearance, "My main goal in life at that time was not to think." Apparently, the filmmakers have taken a cue from her.

Layton's dazzling film is an exciting, edge-of-your-seat experience superior to any Hollywood mystery you're likely to see for a long time.

"The Imposter" becomes more than just a missing-persons drama. It hints at something much darker: a real-life horror story, the full truth of which may never be known.

This is one creepy mystery.

Layton layers "The Imposter" with powerful images in the dramatic re-creations, as well as a brooding soundscape and a concise pacing that distributes its information with the reserve of a good mystery writer.

"The Imposter" may be the first movie since "Penn and Teller Get Killed" whose title may need its own spoiler alert.

Every bit as engaging as it is well-shot, it proves once more that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.

A mixture of documentary, mystery and thriller, which recounts an astonishing true story that gets more outrageous with each revelation

Strange and intriguing, searching for that elusive essence known as 'the perfect truth.'

Rather like watching a magician pulling off a trick which your eyes cannot see, The Imposter offers its own strange kind of magic.

The story is astonishing enough on its own, and The Imposter succeeds in enhancing its immediacy and intensity.

As his story unfolds, one gets the uncomfortable sensation that a joke is being played. But on whom?

One of the year's most provocative pictures.

Incredibly well-made and with a story you won't forget, "The Imposter" is one of the better docs of the season.

The Imposter emerges as a brilliantly slippery film that demands brain-stretching consideration. Astonishing, indeed.

It's an astounding story, truly, and Bourdin is the most chillingly sympathetic sociopath: frank, remorseless, matter-of-fact.

British director Bart Layton has only slightly fictionalised this extraordinary story for his documentary, which is told more as a thriller than a statement of hard fact.

"The Imposter" is one of the best films of the year.

Not only is the story riveting, but the film explores huge issues that really get under our skin

The Imposter frequently sends your jaw hurtling to the floor as it tries to understand the great pretender and a family only too willing to accept him as one of their own.

When this film was over, I felt as if I had been holding my breath for 99 minutes. It is pure, delicious suspense.

The mysteries stick with you. In 20 years time, someone will leap up and shout, "Eureka!"

How Ridiculous Is It That Apple Maps Redirect To Google Maps On The Web?

Yes, Apple Maps redirect to Google Maps on desktop, Android and any non-iOS 6 phones when you share your location. Womp. Obviously this is happening because there's no hub for Apple Maps on web, but still, the absurdity of this loop is exemplary of how ill-thought out this whole Maps switch was. Like you most likely, I'm still sort of confused by the logic here: I have iOS 6, and when I try to share my location from Apple Maps to Facebook and Twitter, Apple Maps shares a maps.apple.com URL wrapper. If you click that Facebook or Twitter link from the web, it will load Google Maps with the specified address.

WiFi Alliance certificate teases Tizen flavored Samsung Galaxy S III

Ever wondered what Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III phone might be like, if it ran another OS? Okay, arguably something along those lines is already under way, but if a curious WiFi Alliance certification entry is to be understood, Tizen might have made its way on to the phone already. The hook here is the product name. The GS III also goes by the less snappy moniker of GT-I9300, and it's the appearance of GT-I9300_TIZEN in the certification list that has got chins wagging. Of course, a stamp from the WiFI Alliance means little out here in the real world, where everything is still looking rather Android, but it doesn't hurt to imagine the Koreans experimenting with idea, and it wouldn't be the first time either.

Tarell McCrane's ?The Brothers Size? at Manbites Dog Is a ...

Tarell McCrane?s ?The Brothers Size? at Manbites Dog is a showcase for four of the Triangle?s finest actors: Kashif Powell (left) as Ogun Size, Thaddaeus Edwards (center) as Elegba, J. Alphonse Nicholson Oshoosi Size (Jeremy V. Morris is not shown)

Manbites Dog Theater?s superlative 2012-13 season-opener, the North Carolina premiere of The Brothers Size by Tarell Alvin McCraney, provides a showcase for four of the Triangle?s finest actors: Kashif Powell as Ogun Size; Jeremy V. Morris and J. Alphonse Nicholson (alternating) as Ogun?s prodigal, fresh-out-of-prison younger brother Oshoosi Size; and Thaddaeus Edwards as Oshoosi?s mysterious friend Elegba, who wants Oshoosi to return to their life of crime.

Kashif Powell is magnificent ? simply magnificent ? as Ogun, named for the Yor?b? warrior god of iron. Ogun and Oshoosi live in a junkyard beside a Louisiana bayou. But The Brothers Size bears no resemblance to the ?Sanford and Son? television series, starring Redd Foxx. Kashif Powell?s Ogun may run a junkyard, but he is made of sterner stuff, and he makes a heroic effort to keep Oshoosi from going back to prison.

Working against Ogun is Elegba, who is named for the trickster deity of Yor?b? mythology. Elegba is eager to throw a spanner in the works of Ogun?s rehabilitation plans. Hovering ? always hovering ? on the edge of the action, the smiling but subtly sinister Elegba ? impishly portrayed by Thaddaeus Edwards ? seems to eavesdropping on the Size brothers? epic confrontations, and he plays Mephistopheles to Oshoosi?s Faust ? and Oshoosi never realizes, until it is too late, that he is taking all the risk in Elegba?s drug-smuggling enterprise, while Elegba is reaping all the profits.

When Oshoosi Size secretly resumes his wicked, wicked ways, he breaks his brother Ogun?s heart; and that heartbreak is passionately portrayed by Kashif Powell and Alphonse Nicholson. Powell?s Ogun is a giant, whereas Nicholson?s Oshoosi, named for an African hunter deity, is a wanderer who has ultimately lost his moral compass.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty member and StreetSigns Center for Literature and Performance co-founder and co-artistic director Joseph Megel stages The Brothers Size with enormous empathy for the three 21st century African Americans who become the flesh-and-blood counterparts of a trio of African deities. Megel knows how to leaven melodrama with a healthy dose of Magical Realism.

Set and costume designer Derrick Ivey?s minimalist set, with used tires, tied together for a backdrop and knotted ropes providing an ersatz curtain to the junkyard?s shop area. Ivey also provides an ample arena for the epic fraternal confrontation that Joseph Megel so skillfully orchestrates. Don?t miss the 100 minutes of The Brothers Size and the fervent standing ovation at the end of each performance. This time, Triangle audiences can shout ?Bravo!? without any fear that they are over-praising a production.

Expedition Uncovers Seafloor Mountain, Dazzling Sea Life

A recent expedition to an isolated archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean came back with footage of thriving sea life swarming the slopes of a newfound seafloor mountain.

Videos captured by baited cameras revealed a rich underwater community of hammerhead sharks, silvertip sharks, large groupers, rays and a variety of other fish near the Chagos Archipelago, a string of 55 islands designated as a marine protected area by the British government in 2010.

Some have expressed concern over the newly established protections, because it appears they may be interfering with the efforts of local people to return to islands from which they were evicted in the mid-20th century. However, many have heralded the creation of the vast marine reserve.

Much of the riot of undersea life was congregated around a seafloor mountain, or seamount, a dramatic feature more than a mile in diameter that rises far above the ocean floor. Finding these geological features, which provide welcome habitat for sea creatures in the open ocean, is a huge challenge.

"There was a serious 'aha' moment," said Jessica Meeuwig, a professor at the University of Western Australia. Meeuwig, along with colleagues from the Zoological Society of London and Warwick University, were exploring an area that is poorly documented.

The first spot they visited ? an area chart suggested it was home to a seamount ? proved a disappointment. There was nothing there.

"Then, in crisscrossing the next location, sure enough ? a seamount came rising out of the depths," Meeuwig told OurAmazingPlanet in an email.

Although Meeuwig qualified the find as more of a confirmation of the seamount's existence, rather than an outright discovery, she said it was incredibly exciting nonetheless. Because seamounts attract such a large variety of sea life, they are often the target of large-scale fishing operations. This seamount appears to be untouched by trawlers.

Meeuwig said she was surprised by the sheer diversity and abundance of the sea life living near it, and by the large size of the creatures themselves. "Such big fish," she said.

The team dubbed the seamount Sandes Seamount in honor of Neil Sandes, captain of their research vessel, who took great pains to explore the region in intimate detail.?

"Oceans are really hard to study because we can't see easily below the water's surface," Meeuwig said. "So managing to pinpoint a proverbial needle in the haystack and documenting its marine biodiversity was very cool."

What is the role of educational institutions and their contribution to the industry?

Educational institutions are the Temples of Knowledge, where the future work force of our nation is educated and groomed to become professionals needed by the industry. Basic education of 10+2 years is the time of a student?s life when one studyies the core subjects. However, education with the first professional touch, begins only with undergraduate education programs. At this phase of our lives, we take decisions on the field of study which will help us to build a solid career in our future.

Undergraduate degree offer programs offered with a professional approach, allow one to focus on the chosen field of studies. Thus, the quality of education provided at this point of time must be of superior quality, as the knowledge gained here decides our future both in the field of education and profession. With innumerable institutions across the country, we have no dearth of finding an institution offering the subject of our choice. However, to find an institution with quality education which is in line with the requirement of the industry becomes a major issue. With the BBA offering international business schools, we may find some relief on this issue as they try to create a world class educational environment for the youth of today, to improve their professional abilities.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is one of the popular undergraduate degree program offered by most of the institutes. Under this program, the curriculum is carefully designed to cover all aspects of business. From the launching of products and setting up of business to marketing and marketing strategies, these programs cover every important aspect of the field of business. The popularity of these programs have shown that getting into the world of business with prior knowledge is a better option, than jumping into it with the hope of learning the ropes of business with experience. Under these circumstances, one moves towards realizing their passion for the world of business and work towards gaining knowledge, skills that are needed to work in the corporate world.

The Bachelor of Business Administration programs are of three years duration that spans over six semesters. Some of the institutions offer specialization either in Finance, Human Resource Management or Marketing in the undergraduate program. This is one of the greatest advantages for students as focus is on a particular field of studies. It gives them a better opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the chosen subject. Having basic knowledge about a particular field makes it easy to pursue postgraduate degree in the same subject, else to move towards working in the corporate sector.

Subjects usually covered are Principles of Marketing, Finance, Management, Operations Management, Business Communication Skills, Accounting, Business Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Personality Development, Business Laws and Taxation, IT in Management, Entrepreneur Development and many other. Along with that students have to take up four specialization subjects.

Along with focusing on academics, the business schools encourage students to have a dynamic development along with the right attitude and a sense of responsibility.

New 'stamping' process to pattern biomolecules at high resolution developed

ScienceDaily (Sep. 20, 2012) ? Fabricating precise biomolecular structures at extremely small scales is critical to the progress of nanotechnology and related fields.

Traditionally, one of the ways this has been accomplished has been through the use of rubber stamps with tiny features -- similar to those used by children in play, but detailed at the microscopic scale -- which are covered with molecular "inks" and then stamped onto substrate surfaces, creating a molecular patterns. But when using this technique at the nanoscale, molecules tend to diffuse on the surface both during and after stamping, blurring the patterns.

To address this problem, researchers at UCLA have turned this conventional "soft lithography" process on its head: Instead of using a stamp to transfer molecules onto bare surfaces, they have used chemically treated stamps to remove molecules already in place on gold substrates, essentially peeling away select molecules through chemical bonds to create precise patterns measuring just a few molecules across.

The new process, called chemical lift-off lithography (CLL), results in higher-resolution patterning and avoids the blurring problems of earlier techniques.

The findings are published Sept. 20 in the journal Science. The research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Kavli Foundation.

The stamp used in the new process is molded by using a "master" made with more sophisticated and expensive tools than those used in making rubber stamps for offices and children, but the stamps can be used over and over again. Between each use, they are simply reactivated by an oxygen plasma.

The chemical bonds formed at the stamp -- substrate interface are sufficiently strong to remove not only molecules in the monolayers but also one layer of gold atoms from the substrate. This observation settled a long-running discussion over whether, for such monolayers, gold-gold bonds break more easily than molecule-gold bonds -- they do, the researchers found.

The research team was able to fabricate a variety of high-resolution patterned features, and stamps were cleaned and reused many times with little feature deterioration. The remaining monolayer, they found, can act as a resist for etching exposed gold features. The backfilling of new molecules into the lifted-off areas enabled patterned protein capture, and sharp 40 nanometer chemical patterns were achieved.

Led by Anne Andrews and Paul Weiss, the UCLA team represents a collaboration among researchers from UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute, the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, and the departments of chemistry and biochemistry, materials science and engineering, and psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences.

Conventional nanolithographic patterning techniques, such as photolithography and electron-beam lithography, are expensive, time-consuming, require specialized equipment and instrumentation, and have limited capabilities for chemical patterning; here, they only need to be used for the fabrication of stamp master molds.

Once individual masters are produced, CLL is used for high-resolution, high-throughput, low-cost pattern fabrication. This method enables patterns to be transferred to underlying substrates, and multiple-stamping strategies can be used to produce high-fidelity nanometer-scale patterns on gold substrates, with the additional possibility of patterning different materials, such as silicon, germanium, platinum and graphene.

The patterns fabricated demonstrate that CLL not only transfers large-area, high-fidelity patterns, but the post-lift-off exposed gold areas are advantageous for producing multiplexed patterned surfaces for selective capture of biomolecules from complex mixtures.

Apple's EarPods get the iFixit teardown treatment, found to basically be earbuds

As we briefly mentioned in our EarPods review, iFixit was able to teardown Apple's latest generation of earbuds, which are currently shipping with the iPhone 5. While we weren't quite sure what was going on with their insides, the site has confirmed some of our suspicions and detailed a few other fun facts. As it turns out, the internal layout of each earpiece is essentially that of an average 'bud with a forward-facing driver. The new top section, with its side-facing audio port, is apparently a good chunk of what affects the sound in unison with those strategically placed vents. The improved bass and low-mid response we noted in our review falls in line with iFixit's confirmation that the new driver in each Pod is made with a paper speaker cone -- in contrast to the plastic used on the older model.

As the site notes, those driver diaphragms should be less likely to blow-out, and the basket behind 'em have also been updated with a cleaner fit and finish. Aside from that, you'll be pleased to know that the inline remote appears to have an improved seal for protection from the elements, and it'll hold up better to cable snags. As you might imagine, the $29 headphones have been deemed as disposable rather than repairable. Don't take our word for it however -- you can read the teardown for yourself at the source link below.
