Fender is a household name when it comes to guitars, guitar amplifiers and related gear. The company's legendary Stratocaster guitars have been played by many a great rock and blues icon, from Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton and many others. However, the company now is also looking to make a name for itself in the personal audio market or perhaps even a space you'd call "pro-sumer" or at least for audiophiles, with an innovative family of IEMs, or in-ear monitors. Fender has a model for every budget, with ear buds ranging in price from $99 for the entry-level DXA1 to $499 for the symphonic FXA7. The headphones were designed in Nashville, Tennessee — which also happens to be where they’re...

You want to record yourself playing music? Easy. Plug in to a Fender SLIDE, connect the SLIDE to your PC or mobile device, and have at it. DIY home recording has come a long way; a certain number of years ago (let’s not specify how many), if you wanted to lay down tracks with your band or just have some good demos of your burgeoning singer/songwriter greatness, you needed a 4-track tape recorder--and those things weren’t cheap. These days all you need is a relatively inexpensive digital recording interface, which is usually some kind of box with a couple of instrument or mic inputs and some USB (or FireWire, if you have a slightly older one) outputs so you can connect to a computer...

T-Mobile's myTouch 3G may not be the latest and greatest of the Android bunch, but it definitely falls within the "oldie but goodie" category. If you always loved the design, but never bit on buying one for whatever reason, HTC is providing you another reason to take one more look. In a sweeping announcement of new holiday handsets, the one standout phone is the myTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition. Expected to launch a little later in the year, the new handset has a guitar-inspired wood-grain finish that really sets it apart. Needless to say, the axe-slinger in your life is apt to go nuts upon simply seeing the finish here. Oh, and it gets better. The design change isn't the only benefit of buying...

MediaDefender, a company that provides anti-piracy solutions, has been accused of setting up a fake pirate site called MiiVi.According to reports from around the web, the site offered unlimited free movie downloads once users downloaded their software package.The software package is said to contain spyware that supposedly reports existing media on the computer of any unsuspected downloader.Given that MediaDefender is involved on some level with both the RIAA and MPAA, both of whom are involved in litigation against pirates, such an act might be frowned upon when it comes time for lawyers to explain how they got their evidence.MediaDefender CEO, Randy Saaf, is now claiming that the whole thing...

It's being reported that anti-piracy watchdog, MediaDefender, may have set up a trap for potential pirates: “Several days ago, anti-piracy watchdog MediaDefender launched MiiVi.com, a decoy piracy site claiming to offer "fast and easy video downloading." It displayed copyright by "MiiVi, Inc," and mentioned no affiliation with MediaDefender, the movie industry, or Hollywood in general. The site's spartan layout enticed users to download a special MiiVi client, which would supposedly unlock access to the site's cache of full-length movies.” Did MediaDefender honestly make a site with the intent of luring people into attempting to pirate media? If so, why? There aren’t many 100% clear...
