Apple to Create a Rival to Pandora
Apple has dominated the headlines lately with their court victory over Samsung and news of the impendingiPhone 5, but this latest piece of news comes as a bit of a surprise – the world’s largest tech company has announced it is in talks to create a custom-radio service in the same vein as Pandora. The new service would be available across Apple’s entire line of products and could possibly see a Windows release as well. Currently, the custom-radio market is dominated by Pandora but with Apple’s already established online music presence and its massive base of hardware, the company could dominate the market as it has done with many of its other endeavors. Apple is reportedly seeking licenses that would let it sidestep many of the restrictions that other companies like Pandora face, such as playing the same song multiple times. For a full breakdown check out The Wall Street Journal‘s article here.

German watchmaker Sinn have taken the wraps off their latest watch and it looks to be an absolute stunner. The Tachymetric Chronograph Limited Edition features a Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7750 movement in a stainless steel case measuring 41mm across. Water-resistant to 200 meters and with a scratch-proof acrylic crystal, the watch should handle the wear-and-tear of daily use without a problem. Sporting a black dial, the watch displays the seconds on the left of the face while the independent sweep second hand is used for the chronograph function. Available with a brown leather bracelet in the same style as Breitling’s air racer bracelets, this Sinn will add a touch of sporty flair to your wrist.
