More Tintin images

A few more pics from the upcoming CGI adaptation of "The Secret of the Unicorn." They're still not giving us a good look at the boy reporter's face, but these look pretty good. More in the spirit of the comic art than the first few images that have been revealed.

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.
