Unique New USB Mix Tapes From Getting Personal
For anyone who remembers the 80’s and the early 90’s, the humble mix tape will have a special place in their hearts; entire evenings used to be spent against the stereo, with fingers always at the ready on the pause button as the careful blend of floor fillers and ballads were recorded in real-time one by one.

First Time Buyer Magazine Launched In December
The editor of a new magazine, First Time Buyer, launched in December, believes that first time buyers can resuscitate the British property market, which is currently being strangled by mortgage lenders.

Embedded Web Server For Comfort Home Automation
Cytech has introduced two new products for its flagship Comfort Home Automation and Security System – A new Embedded Web Server and a GSM Module: The CWM02 embedded Comfort Web Server Module, allows the user to access his lighting, security and home appliances on the Internet, using a browser. The layout of the home or office can be displayed with icons for lights, air-conditioners, heaters, doors, windows, motion detectors and cameras. The display of the icons changes in real time, according to their state at that time. When doors and windows are opened, or lights and air-conditioners are switched on or off, this can be seen on the browser screen. Clicking on the icons will switch the appliances and lights on or off. Cameras can be installed in the property to allow the user to view remotely through the Internet. Communication through the Internet is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. Unlike some other Internet access systems the CWM02 is an embedded Linux system, which works without the need for a computer acting as a host or server.
