Turkish Court Overturns YouTube Ban, PM Slams Twitter's Unblocking
Turkey's constitutional court has ruled to unblock social media site YouTube, just a day after it lifted a ban on micro-blogging platform Twitter.
The court said that YouTube ban violated human rights and freedom of expression.
Magistrates however ordered that 15 videos remain unblocked, Hurriyet Daily News has reported.
Turkey's Telecommunication Authority (TIB) blocked YouTube on March 27, hours after leaks of a security meeting where officials discussed a possible military intervention in Syria were uploaded on the website and sparked nationwide outrage.
Short after access to YouTube was barred last week, Prime Minister Erdogan defended the decision, and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu described it as a question of "national security".
Erdogan criticized on Friday the court's decision to lift the ban on Twitter, saying he "did not respect" it as he does not find it "right and patriotic".
"While they are protecting an American company, our national and moral values are being disregarded," the BBC quoted him as saying.
Turkey's PM earlier vowed to "wipe out" social media as they were harmful for Turkish society.
Both YouTube and Twitter have been used to upload recordings of wiretapped conversations alleging large-scale corruption administrative abuse within the government and in Erdogan's inner circle, including family members.
The authenticity of all recordings has not yet been confirmed, but Turkish officials have admitted some of them are not fake.

UK: Drambuie still betting on Greece despite new market distractions - CEO
By Andy Morton | 19 September 2012
Drambuie 15 has helped its owner post a full-year sales rise
The head of whisky liqueur maker Drambuie has said he won't abandon Greece despite plummeting sales and a new focus on emerging markets.
Volumes in Greece have fallen by half since its heyday as the company's second-biggest market a few years ago, Drambuie CEO Michael Kennedy told just-drinks. In Drambuie's full-year figures released last week volumes in Greece dropped by 27% year-on year.
But Kennedy said: "We're not walking away.
"We're still investing to a degree, though not like we did in the past, because there are a lot of consumers out there. The brand is relatively healthy in terms of age of consumers in Greece relative to more mature markets."
Greece's decline, coupled with volume falls in Spain and Italy, saw Drambuie's overall volumes for the year remain flat. Kennedy says the priority there now as more buyers go to the wall is market management.
"A lot of our big customers have run into credit issues, and quite a lot of the guys we were dealing with five, six years ago who were great customers have gone bankrupt," he said. "So a lot of the issue there is trading and making sure you are getting paid for what you are selling."
"It's about making sure you have availability but not taking too many risks."
Germany and Scandinavia have so far proved resilient in Europe, Kennedy said, though admitted beverage rivals faced a similar pattern.
"The more encouraging thing for us is that we're starting to see a turnaround in the US, which is our biggest market, and there's a real trend out there for authentic dark spirits."
Meanwhile, Drambuie is upping investment in new markets. The company exports to 120 countries, but Kennedy said he wants a "more meaningful presence" in targeted regions.
Brand Drambuie was launched in India last year and the company is taking its first tentative steps into South-East Asia, where latest product Drambuie 15 is doing well in trials in Vietnam, Kennedy said.
Drambuie 15, launched in the UK last year, was the company's first new product in a decade. It has since been launched in the US, where Kennedy said it has benefited from the boom in honeyed whiskies.
Kennedy is pleased with its early performance. In Travel Retail, where it has been established longest, sales are one-fifth of brand Drambuie, above the company's one-tenth target.
"We hope sales will develop significantly," Kennedy added.
Drambuie 15 helped Drambuie post a 4.5% sales increase in FY results last week. Operating profits jumped by 29%, but Kennedy said a better measure was the 9% operating profits rise that took the year's favourable foreign exchange rates out of the equation.

The invention concerns a method for calibration of an analysis system having a diaphragm, the outside of which is immersed into a medium to be analysed, and on the inside of which a carrier fluid for the admission of a species penetrating the diaphragm is flowing.
Further, the invention concerns an analysis system with a diaphragm, the outside of which is immersed into a medium to be analysed, by which a flow path is arranged on the inside of the diaphragm, the inlet side of which is connected to a reservoir of a carrier fluid and the outlet side of which is connected to a detector.
Such analysis systems are working with some sort of dialysis, i.e. the species to be analysed penetrates the diaphragm and thus reaches the carrier fluid. This penetration occurs for instance as diffusion. The species can for instance consist of ions or other low-molecular parts, which are contained in the fluid to be analysed, which is bearing against the outside of the diaphragm or flows past it.
It is known that such analysis systems must be calibrated at certain intervals. Such calibrations are at least always required, when a new diaphragm is used. Normally, the life of the diaphragms is limited. Though they are in principle the same, there are deviations from diaphragm to diaphragm, which can be taken into consideration by a calibration. Further, such diaphragms do in many cases turn out to have an ageing behaviour, meaning that their permeability to the species changes over the time. Also for this reason periodical calibrations are required, to determine a "transition factor" of the diaphragm. This transition factor permits a derivation of the actual quantity or concentration of the species in the medium to be analysed on the basis of the load of species in the carrier fluid.
Such calibrations can be carried through in the laboratory without problems, as the corresponding measurements can be made in a controlled environment. As, however, application on site of analysis systems is gaining importance, for instance swimming in settling tanks in sewage disposal plant or in outfall ditches, and the recovery for calibration purposes is too expensive, it has been endeavoured to find solutions for carrying through calibrations on site, i.e. in the installation in question.
In an analysis system known from DE 44 24 494 A1, calibration is thus made in that two different carrier fluids are led past the diaphragm, which carrier fluids differ from each other with respect to the concentration of the species to be detected. The starting concentration in both fluids is known. The concentration after passing the diaphragm can be measured. This gives sufficient information to determine the penetration behaviour or the transition factor, which can be called "efficiency". In subsequent measurements this efficiency can be used to conclude or calculate the concentration of the species in the medium to be analysed on the basis of the load of species in the carrier fluid.
However, with the known system it is necessary to have two different carrier fluids. Thus, space must be provided for the corresponding reservoirs and for the corresponding pump or any other sort of flow controlling device.
The task of the invention is to reduce the constructional expenses connected with the calibration.
With a method as mentioned in the introduction, this task is solved in that, in a calibration step, the carrier fluid is stopped on the inside of the diaphragm for a predetermined sojourn time, after which the load of the species in the carrier fluid is determined, in a further calibration step the carrier fluid is led past the diaphragm at a speed also used for measurements and the load of the species in the carrier fluid is determined, and the penetration behaviour of the diaphragm is determined on the basis of both load values.
When the carrier fluid remains inside the diaphragm for a long time, a balancing of the concentrations of species on both sides of the diaphragm will occur, meaning that the concentration of species in the carrier fluid has exactly the same value as the concentration of species in the medium to be analysed. For this purpose, the fluid can be stopped on or led very slowly past the inside of the diaphragm. However, normally, the concentration balancing occurs according to an e-function or a similar function, and therefore there will still be concentration differences on both sides of the diaphragm after a certain time. For measuring technical purposes, however, they are so small that they can be disregarded. Thus, at this calibration step the actual concentration of species in the medium to be analysed is determined. In the other calibration step the carrier fluid is now led past the diaphragm in the way also used for the following measurements. The sojourn time of the carrier fluid on the inside of the diaphragm is then shorter, causing that ordinarily only smaller amounts of ions, molecules or similar particles of the species can penetrate the diaphragm into the carrier fluid. This will thus result in a lower concentration or loading of species in the carrier fluid. Now, e.g., the relation between the two loads or concentrations can be used to calculate the transition factor or the efficiency of the diaphragm. This transition factor can then be used for further measurements to calculate the concentration of species in the medium to be analysed on the basis of the determined load or concentration of species in the carrier fluid.
This procedure gives the advantage that an additional carrier fluid with a different concentration of the species must not be available in the system. An additional pump or an additional valve can also be saved. Thus, also a further possibility of errors is eliminated, which could occur in previous systems in that both pumps did not have the same discharge capacity. Until now, the consequence of this was that the costs for the pump were relatively high. It has turned out that a further advantage of the new calibration is that "intermediary flushing" is no longer necessary. On the contrary, only one single carrier fluid is required, which is the same for all calibration steps. After the last calibration step, measurements can be made immediately, as the correct fluid is already available in the flow path past the diaphragm to the detector.
Preferably, the carrier fluid is free of the species before being led past the diaphragm. Thus, there will be no zero-point displacement. An initial concentration of species in the carrier fluid must no longer be taken into consideration. On the contrary, the whole load of species in the carrier fluid originates from the penetration of species through the diaphragm.
Preferably, water is used as carrier fluid. In many cases water with the required purity will already be available. It is chemically neutral, thus additional security or protection measures are not required.
Advantageously, the flow path for the carrier fluid behind the diaphragm is interrupted for the duration of the sojourn time. This secures that the only way for the carrier fluid to have influence goes through the diaphragm. A mixing of the carrier fluid on the inside of the diaphragm and other fluids, which might be loaded with the species to be detected or other species, can thus not take place. This facilitates the following evaluation.
Preferably, a calibration of the following components of the system is made during the sojourn time. In many cases it is not only necessary to calibrate the diaphragm, i.e. establish its penetration or transition behaviour, or efficiency, respectively, but also to calibrate further components, as for instance the detector. For this purpose, a fluid with a known concentration of the species can be led past the detector, after which the output signal emitted by the detector is calibrated to the known concentration. To get more than one value, normally a series of carrier fluids with different concentrations are led to the detector for this calibration. In many cases, the concentration is determined on the basis of a colour reaction, meaning that reagents must be added, the reactions of which cause the colour change. This takes a certain time. Advantageously, this time can be used for the calibration of the diaphragm. Thus the total calibration time of the system will be short.
Advantageously, the calibration step, by which the carrier fluid remains on the inside of the diaphragm, takes place before the further calibration step. Thus measuring can start immediately after finishing the calibration. In this connection it is taken for granted that the concentration of species in the medium to be analysed will not change in the short time between the two calibration steps. Often a change will occur slowly over a long period of time.
Advantageously, the sojourn time is at least 5 minutes. After this relatively long period of time the required probability of the balancing of the species concentration on both sides of the diaphragm will be ensured. In many cases, however, shorter periods will do. The required time can be evaluated in that the concentration increase, occurring in accordance with an e-function, is determined, after which calculations are made to establish how long it will take to reach the desired maximum concentration.
In an analysis system as described in the introduction, the task is solved in that a blocking device is arranged on the outlet side of the flow path. With this blocking device it can be provided that the carrier fluid is kept on the inside of the diaphragm, so that influences from further sections of the flow path are eliminated. Thus, the influence of the carrier fluid can only take place through the diaphragm. The rather unusual measure of arranging a blocking device in the flow path after the diaphragm, e.g. a closing valve, facilitates the calibration considerably.
Advantageously, a blocking device is also arranged on the inlet side. This prevents the connection between the space on the inside of the diaphragm and the reservoir for the carrier fluid. Thus, no species can escape from this space and, e.g., reach the reservoir for the carrier fluid. On one hand this improves the recent calibration, on the other hand, however, also reduces the risk of faulty measurement results at future measurements.
In the following the invention is described on the basis of a preferred embodiment in connection with the drawing. The only FIGURE shows:
FIGURE: a schematic view of an analysing system.
An analysing system 1 has a diaphragm 2, the outside of which is immersed into a fluid 3 to be analysed. By this the diaphragm 2 covers a window in a schematically shown housing 4.
On the inside of the diaphragm 2, i.e. the side turned towards the inside of the housing 4, a flow path 5 is provided, which here is shown schematically by means of a line. The flow path 5 has an inlet 6, connected with a reservoir 8 via a pump 7, which reservoir 8 contains a carrier fluid 9. Here the carrier fluid 9 is water. However, also a different carrier fluid can be used, by which it is preferred that it contains nothing of the species to be detected. The section of the flow path 5 is known.
The flow path 5 has an outlet 13 connected with a detector 15 via a reaction channel 14. The reaction channel 14 is connected with reservoirs 22 to 27 via pumps 16 to 21, which reservoirs contain different fluids 28 to 33, e.g. water or reagents. Especially, the reservoir 22, which is connected with the reaction channel 14 close to the outlet 13 of the flow path 5, contains water for the cleaning of the reaction channel.
At the inlet 6 of the flow path 5 a shut-off valve 10 is arranged, which can interrupt the connection between the flow path 5 and the reservoir 8 with the carrier fluid 9. At the outlet of the flow path 13 a further shut-off valve 11 is provided, which interrupts a connection between the flow path 5 and the reaction channel 14. Thus a closed volume can be produced in the flow path 5, which volume is in connection with the inside of the diaphragm 2.
The pumps 7, 16 to 21, the shut-off valves 10, 11 and the detector 15 are connected with a control unit 34. The control unit 34 can control each pump 7, 16 to 21, individually. The volumetric delivery of the pumps 7, 16 to 21 can be dosed relatively exactly. With the corresponding control by the control unit 34, the quantity Qa of the fluid quantities supplied by the pumps 7, 16 to 21, will be available for the control unit 34. Thus information about the fluid quantity, transported through the flow path, is also available. Of course gaseous fluids can be used instead of fluids.
The shut-off valves 10, 11 are also in connection with the control unit 34, and can be opened and closed by it.
For measurements the carrier fluid 9 is led through the flow path 5 along the diaphragm 2 by means of the pump 7. Thus the species to be determined reaches through the diaphragm 2 into the carrier fluid 9 by diffusion or other transition processes. The initial concentration C of the carrier fluid 9 is known, and here it has the value zero.
In the reaction channel 14 the carrier fluid which is now available with a different concentration is supplied with reagents, e.g. causing a sedimentation or a colour change reaction, which can be registered by the detector 15, which may be constructed as a photo detector. The control unit 34 can convert the output signal of the detector 15 to a concentration value C*. For this the following equation applies:
ln[1-(C*-C)/(Cd -C)]=-k0 *A/Qa (1)
by which
C=the concentration in the carrier fluid before passing the diaphragm
C*=the concentration in the carrier fluid after passing the diaphragm
Cd =the (unknown) concentration in the fluid to be analysed
k0 =a mass transition coefficient
A=the effective surface of the diaphragm
Qa =the flow volume per time unit along the diaphragm
From this the control unit 34 can determine the concentration Cd of species in the fluid 3 to be analysed.
However, it is a condition here that the diaphragm qualities, which are mainly contained in the product k0 �A, are known. These "transition qualities" of the diaphragm are different from diaphragm to diaphragm, so that at least after each diaphragm replacement a calibration is required. However, due to influences from the environment, such as growth of algae, the transition qualities can also change during the operation time of a diaphragm. Thus it is in many cases also necessary to carry through calibrations from time to time.
To carry through a calibration, the reaction channel 14 is first cleaned with the water 28 in the reservoir 22. During this process a nullification of the detector 15 can be made at the same time. If so, a fluid from one of the other reservoirs 23 to 27 can be led to the detector, which fluid produces a measuring signal here, which can be used for the calibration of the detector 15. In this way the detector can be calibrated over a wider measuring range. Either a number of standard solutions, e.g. 0.2 and 5 PPM, are led to the detector and measured there, which solutions are already contained in the two reservoirs 23, 27. Or these standard solutions are produced through mixing of a standard solution with a higher concentration with water from the reservoir 22. Normally, the calibration of the detector 15 takes several minutes. In many cases a large share of the required time is used to finish reactions, in which for instance a colour change must take place to enable the reading of the species in the detector.
Before the calibration of the detector 15, or as first calibration step of the detector 15, water 9 is pumped from the reservoir 8 by means of the pump 7 through the flow path 5 and possibly through the reaction channel 14 to the detector 15. At any rate, it must be provided that the flow path 5 is completely filled with water. When this is the case, the steering device 34 closes the shut-off valves 10 and 11. Then the calibration of the detector 15 can take place, which does, as stated above, take a certain time, for example 5, 6 minutes or more. During this period the water in the flow path 5 absorbs species, e.g. phosphate, nitrate or the like, from the fluid 3 to be analysed. Thus, after a certain time, there will be a balance of the species on both sides of the diaphragm 2, i.e. the concentration of the species in the water in the flow path 5 is exactly as high as the concentration of the species in the fluid 3 to be analysed. As both shut-off valves 10 and 11 are closed, the species penetrating the diaphragm 2 can only concentrate in the volume of the water contained in the flow path 5.
When the detector 15 has been calibrated, and the reaction channel has been cleaned with water, if necessary, the water originating from the flow path 5 can be led through the detector 15. Thus the detector 15 can determine the concentration of species in this volume of the water as carrier fluid. This concentration corresponds to the concentration of the species in the fluid 3 to be analysed.
In a further calibration step, water 9 from the reservoir 8 is again pumped through the flow path 5 by means of the pump 7, this time with a speed or a volume flow corresponding to that of a normal measurement. As the sojourn time on the inside of the diaphragm is then shorter, the load of this carrier fluid with the species will be lower, so that the detector 15 finds a lower concentration of the species in the carrier fluid. When it is now assumed that the concentration in the fluid 3 to be analysed has not changed during the short interval between the two calibration steps, the equation (1) can be used to calculate the product K0 �A. This product then also applies for the following measurements. By means of this product the concentration of species in the fluid 3 to be analysed can be calculated on the basis also on the basis of later measurements, namely by using the value C*.
The advantage of this procedure is that before the flow path 5 only one single reservoir 8 and one single pump 7 are required. As for the calibration only one single carrier fluid 9, in this case water, is used, and this carrier fluid is also required for the following measurements, the measurement can be made immediately after the calibration, without having to carry through a cleaning of the reaction channel 14. Thus carrier fluid 9 and possibly also additional reagents are saved.

A sweeping World War II saga of thwarted love, murder, and a long-lost painting.
In the summer of 1942, twenty-one-year-old Anne Calloway, newly engaged, sets off to serve in the Army Nurse Corps on the Pacific island of Bora-Bora. More exhilarated by the adventure of a lifetime than she ever was by her predictable fiance, she is drawn to a mysterious soldier named Westry, and their friendship soon blossoms into hues as deep as the hibiscus flowers native to the island. Under the thatched roof of an abandoned beach bungalow, the two share a private world-until they witness a gruesome crime, Westry is suddenly redeployed, and the idyll vanishes into the winds of war.
A timeless story of enduring passion from the author of "Blackberry Winter" and "The Violets of March," "The Bungalow" chronicles Anne's determination to discover the truth about the twin losses-of life, and of love-that have haunted her for seventy years.

NAD recommends Oracle discontinue certain performance claims for Exadata
By Greg Schulz
I Received the following press release in my inbox today from the National Advertising Division (NAD) recommending that Oracle stop making certain performance claims about Exadata after a complaint from IBM.
In case you are not familiar with ExaData, it is a database machine or storage appliance that only supports Oracle database systems (learn more here). Oracle having bought Sun microsystems a few years back moved from being a software vendor that competed with other vendors software solutions including those from IBM while running on hardware from Dell, HP and IBM among others. Now that Oracle is in the hardware business, while you will still find Oracle software products running on their competitors hardware (servers and storage), Oracle is also more aggressively competing with those same partners, particularly IBM.
Hmm, to quote Scooby Doo: Rut Roh!
Looks like IBM complained to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) National Advertising Division (NAD) that resulted in the Advertising Self-Regulatory Council (ASRC) making their recommendation below (more about NAD and ASRC can be found here). Based on a billboard sign that I saw while riding from JFK airport into New York City last week, I would not be surprised if a company with two initials that start with an H and end with a P were to file a similar complaint.
I Wonder if the large wall size Oracle advertisement that used to be in the entry way to the white plains (IATA:HPN) airport (e.g. in IBM's backyard) welcoming you to the terminal as you get off the airplanes is still there?
The following is the press release that I received:
For Immediate Release
Contact: Linda Bean
NAD Finds Oracle Took Necessary Action in Discontinuing Comparative Performance Claims for Exadata; Oracle to Appeal NAD Decision
New York, NY July 24, 2012 TheNational Advertising Division has recommended that Oracle Corporation discontinue certain comparative product-performance claims for the companys Exadata database machines, following a challenge by International Business Machines Corporation. Oracle said it would voluntarily discontinue the challenged claims, but noted that it would appeal NADs decision to the National Advertising Review Board.
The advertising claims at issue appeared in a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal and included the following:
- Exadata 20x Faster Replaces IBM Again
- Giant European Retailer Moves Databases from IBM Power to Exadata Runs 20 Times Faster
NAD also considered whether the advertising implied that all Oracle Exadata systems are twenty times faster than all IBM Power systems.
The advertisement featured the image of an Oracle Exadata system, along with the statement: Giant European Retailer Moves Databases from IBM Power to Exadata Runs 20 Times Faster. The advertisement also offered a link to the Oracle website: For more details oracle.com/EuroRetailer.
IBM argued that the 20x Faster claim makes overly broad references to Exadata and IBM Power, resulting in a misleading claim, which the advertisers evidence does not support. In particular, the challenger argued that by referring to the brand name IBM Power without qualification, Oracle was making a broad claim about the entire IBM Power systems line of products.
The advertiser, on the other hand, argued that the advertisement represented a case study, not a line claim, and noted that the sophisticated target audience would understand that the advertisement is based on the experience of one customer the Giant European Retailer referenced in the advertisement.
In a NAD proceeding, the advertiser is obligated to support all reasonable interpretations of its advertising claims, not just the message it intended to convey. In the absence of reliable consumer perception evidence, NAD uses its experienced judgment to determine what implied messages, if any, are conveyed by an advertisement. When evaluating the message communicated by an advertising claim, NAD will examine the claims at issue in the context of the entire advertisement in which they appear.
In this case, NAD concluded that while the advertiser may have intended to convey the message that in one case study a particular Exadata system was up to 20 times faster when performing two particular functions than a particular IBM Power system, Oracles general references to Exadata and IBM Power, along with the bold unqualified headline Exadata 20x Faster Replaces IBM Again, conveyed a much broader message.
NAD determined that at least one reasonable interpretation of the challenged advertisement is that all or a vast majority of Exadata systems consistently perform 20 times faster in all or many respects than all or a vast majority of IBM Power systems. NAD found that the message was not supported by the evidence in the record, which consisted of one particular comparison of one consumers specific IBM Power system to a specific Exadata System.
NAD further determined that the disclosure provided on the advertisers website was not sufficient to limit the broad message conveyed by the 20x Faster claim. More importantly, NAD noted that even if Oracles website disclosure was acceptable and had appeared clearly and conspicuously in the challenged advertisement it would still be insufficient because an advertiser cannot use a disclosure to cure an otherwise false claim.
NAD noted that Oracles decision to permanently discontinue the claims at issue was necessary and proper.
Oracle, in its advertisers statement, said it was disappointed with the NADs decision in this matter, which it believes is unduly broad and will severely limit the ability to run truthful comparative advertising, not only for Oracle but for others in the commercial hardware and software industry.
Oracle noted that it would appeal all of NADs findings in the matter.
NAD's inquiry was conducted under NAD/CARU/NARB Procedures for the Voluntary Self-Regulation of National Advertising. Details of the initial inquiry, NAD's decision, and the advertiser's response will be included in the next NAD/CARU Case Report.
About Advertising Industry Self-Regulation: The Advertising Self-Regulatory Council establishes the policies and procedures for advertising industry self-regulation, including the National Advertising Division (NAD), Childrens Advertising Review Unit (CARU), National Advertising Review Board (NARB), Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP) and Online Interest-Based Advertising Accountability Program (Accountability Program.) The self-regulatory system is administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus.
Self-regulation is good for consumers. The self-regulatory system monitors the marketplace, holds advertisers responsible for their claims and practices and tracks emerging issues and trends. Self-regulation is good for advertisers. Rigorous review serves to encourage consumer trust; the self-regulatory system offers an expert, cost-efficient, meaningful alternative to litigation and provides a framework for the development of a self-regulatory to emerging issues.

Ok, Oracle is no stranger to benchmark and performance claims controversy having amassed several decades of experience. Anybody remember the silver bullet database test from late 80s early 90s when Oracle set a record performance except that they never committed the writes to disk?
Something tells me that Oracle and Uncle Larry (e.g. Larry Ellison who is not really my uncle) will treat this as any kind of press or media coverage is good and probably will issue something like IBM must be worried if they have to go to the BBB.
Will a complaint which I'm sure is not the fist to be lodged with the BBB against Oracle deter customers, or be of more use to IBM sales and their partners in deals vs. Oracle?
What's your take?
Is this much ado about nothing, a filler for a slow news or discussion day, a break from talking about VMware acquisition of Nicira or VMware CEO management changes? Perhaps this is an alternative to talking about the CEO of SSD vendor STEC being charged with insider trading, or something other than Larry Ellison buying an Hawaiian island (IMHO he could have gotten a better deal buying Greece), or is this something that Oracle will need to take seriously?
Ok, nuff said.

Logitech unveil wireless guitar controller for PS3
Logitech Unveils Black Edition of Wireless Guitar Controller for PLAYSTATION 3
Wireless Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero to be Available Worldwide
FREMONT, Calif. - May 12, 2009 - Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the Logitech® Wireless Guitar Controller for PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems. Featuring authentic materials - including a wood neck and body, a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets - the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is for gamers who truly want to play like a rock star.
Following the introduction of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition (previously available only in select markets), the new black guitar controller is expected to be available worldwide later this month. The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is licensed by Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) for the award-winning Guitar Hero® franchise.
"Logitech's new guitar controller delivers the same unparalleled Guitar Hero experience offered by our previous premiere edition to an even broader group of gamers and at a great value," said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech's director of product marketing for gaming. "Everything about the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is premium - from the authentic wood material and flawless black finish, to the noise-dampening design of the strum bar and buttons, to the authentic accents provided by the metal frets."
The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller offers a one-piece contoured wood body preferred by many of the world's leading rock guitarists. For reduced button noise, Logitech uses rubber dome technology on the fret board controls, the same material used in its award-winning keyboards. The guitar controller also incorporates a touch-sensitive slider, located on the neck of the guitar controller so you can rack up the points.
So you'll be free to go where the music moves you, the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller lets you jam at a range of up to 30 feet from the console and offers hundreds of hours of battery life.
The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller will be available in a pristine black finish complemented with a glossy black pick guard.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems is expected to be available this month in the U.S. for a retail price of $199.99 (U.S.) and will be available in Europe in June.
