Technics turntables no more
Though it doesn't get much use these days, I'd hate to be without my Technics turntable in the living room. Now come reports that the brand may not be around much longer:
The Technics turntables have long been favored by DJs and audiophiles because of their high quality, reliability and direct drive system. However, as vinyl sales have collapsed, demand has dropped. As yet, Panasonic has not issued a statement on its web site about the rumoured discontinuation, although when similar speculation arose last year, it did issue a rebuttal. The company could not be immediately contacted.

Friday, Nov. 12: "Cry Freedom Fighters!" -- When an alien race tries to invade Earth, Batman, Plastic Man and the Freedom Fighters (led by the Uncle Sam) race to their planet to stop them. The alien's numbers prove overwhelming and it falls on Plastic Man to find the patriotism within to stop them.
Friday, Nov. 12: "Knights of Tomorrow!" -- A glimpse into the future reveals Dick Grayson has assumed the Batman mantle after the Caped Crusader retired and fathered a son, Damian, with Catwoman. Despite his parents' wishes, Damian does not want to follow their legacy, but when Joker returns, he may have no choice! '
