iHome Introduces New Models from Its Studio Series

By Dena Cassella Published January 5, 2010

iHome announced it will be revealing new products in its Studio Series line-up at CES this week. The new iP2 Home Audio System for iPhone/iPod and the iP49 Portable Rechargeable Audio System with Alarm Clock & FM Radio for iPhone/iPod are the company’s next wave of products to incorporate Digital Power Station (DPS) technology, giving users new hardware options.

The iP2 and iP49 are both equipped with patented Bongiovi Acoustics DPS technology which iHome says maximizes the performance and sound quality of the system. According to iHome, its Studio Series emits studio-quality sound because the processor involved is active and can constantly scan the program material in real time to effectively improve the transients and harmonics.

“The Studio Series is our premium line for those iPhone and iPod owners who demand a higher level of audio fidelity from their speakers,” said Evan Stein, vice president of Marketing, iHome. “Thanks to Bongiovi Acoustics’ DPS technology, the sound quality is virtually unrivalled and we are excited to broaden our offerings with the iP2 and iP49.”

iHome came to this year’s tradeshow quite confident after winning iLounge’s Accessories Maker of the Year award at CES 2009. The Studio Series product line as well as iHome’s entire 2010 line-up will be on display during CES this week.

AI agent reportedly carried out an entire ransomware attack on its own

AI didn't just write malware. It apparently clocked in for work.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity researchers say they have documented what could be the first ransomware attack carried out almost entirely by an autonomous AI agent, marking a significant shift in how cyberattacks could be conducted in the future. According to cloud security firm Sysdig, they have uncovered a ransomware operation dubbed JadePuffer that appears to have relied on a large language model (LLM) agent to perform nearly every stage of the attack without continuous human intervention.

If confirmed, the incident suggests AI is moving beyond writing malicious code and into actively planning, adapting, and executing cyberattacks in real time.

The Washington Post predicted how tech will advance 50 years ago and the success rate is humbling

The Washington Post predicted 2026 tech in 1976. It got a lot right.

Fifty years ago, when floppy disks were cutting-edge and the personal computer revolution had barely begun, The Washington Post attempted a remarkably ambitious exercise: predict what life in 2026 would look like. Some of those predictions now read like science fiction. Others feel surprisingly ordinary because they have become part of everyday life.

In a retrospective published for America's 250th anniversary, the newspaper revisited science editor Thomas O'Toole's 1976 article Inventing the Future, comparing its forecasts with today's technological reality. The results reveal that while predicting exact timelines is nearly impossible, identifying long-term scientific trends can be remarkably accurate.

Australian government warns doctors over AI scribing tools as privacy and safety concerns grow

AI medical scribes face regulatory scrutiny in Australia amid safety concerns

Representative Image

The Australian government is urging healthcare professionals to exercise caution when using AI-powered medical scribing tools, as regulators examine whether stronger safeguards are needed around one of healthcare's fastest-growing technologies, according to a report by The Guardian.

AI scribes have rapidly gained popularity by recording, transcribing, and summarising doctor-patient conversations into clinical notes, reducing the administrative burden on healthcare workers. However, government officials now warn that the technology's rapid adoption has outpaced oversight, raising questions around patient privacy, informed consent, and the accuracy of medical records.
