Review: The Eton Rukus Solar Is The Perfect Outdoor New music Companion
Author: Matthew Wilson
The venerable Will Smith said it best, “ Summer, summer, summertime. Time to unwind and unwind. ” The sunshine is out and the tunes should be blaring. That ’ s where the Eton Rukus Solar can be found in. This speaker system streams new music from your phone by means of Bluetooth or 3.5 mm cable television while keeping its battery charged with an enormous solar panel collection. What ’ s more, a USB port allows the Rukus Solar to charge your phone, too.
The Rukus Solar is a superb outdoor sound system. Well, that is, apart from 2 interested design decisions.
Build quality
Like many Eton products, the Rukus Solar feels like it ’ s built to last. It ’ s built out of hard plastic and the front-side buttons are incredibly durable. The speakers are shielded by strong grills, and there are bits of rubber put strategically around the system so the plastic shouldn ’ t get scuffed up.
The front display is of the e-ink range. As such the screen can be seen in direct sunlight, and when in use, doesn ’ t consume as much energy as a traditional LCD screen.
The solar variety takes up most the leading panel. It ’ s significant. Eton claims that the solar panel can recharge the device in 6 hours. Nonetheless, unless there isn ’ t a cloud in the sky, I located that the panel is best utilized to keep the Rukus Solar charged during usage. It was much easier and quicker to give the speaker a cost with the consisted of AC plug, then take the unit outside and let the sunshine maintain the cost. As previously mentioned, a USB port permits the Rukus Solar to charge a phone, too.
Audio quality
Sound is streamed to the Rukus Solar with Bluetooth. The audio quality is sufficient for the $ 150 rate point, however not extremely outstanding overall. The audio is full and sports a bit of bass. The treble is a little sharp while the mid-range is about right. It falls squarely in the “ really good adequate ” classification.
Don ’ t expect the Rukus Solar to pound. It often tends to eliminate at high volume although I must acknowledge that the speaker system can easily hold its own against sound docks in the same price selection. It ’ s not a party speaker but is more than adequate for a couple of tunes while getting a kick out of some sun.
Two inquisitive defects
The Rukus Solar features a built-in cellular phone owner. However it ’ s on the bottom of the gadget. And it ’ s merely a piece of elastic. I don ’ t trust it.
Of course thanks to Bluetooth ’ s range, owners do not have to use this holder. The connected phone could be securely stashed away in a bag or pocket and the Rukus Solar would still playback the popular music. But it would be good if the speaker system had a more secure, beach-friendly owner. A straightforward tray or compartment would certainly be sufficient, deliver more protection and permit the Rukus Solar to live up to its full potential as an outdoor device ready for some ruckus.
The Rukus Solar lacks an FM radio, which as I ’ ve concluded after examining over a dozen audio docks, is an unfortunate indication of the times. FM/AM radio still appeals to me. When you merely need some random new music, it ’ s just so much simpler to simply activate a radio than discovering your phone, loading the app then locating an album/streaming station.
There was a time when almost every home object featured a radio tuner. You might nearly walk into the kitchen and tune to AM 760 from the toaster. Now, with the Rukus Solar and its hundreds of equivalents, audio is only delivered by a mobile phone or Bluetooth-equipped media player.
Conclusion
In my mind the Rukus Solar is a near-perfect outdoor gadget. It ’ s constructed to last and makes it easy to bring popular music outside. Even with the two interested oversights it ’ s a great device and well worth the $ 150 MSRP (Amazon sells it for $ 130). The device can be found in black, green and white.

Ubiquiti Networks beefs up outdoor wireless broadband networks with AirFiber
Author: Stacey Cook
We won’t be satisfied until we live on a planet where wireless internet waves travel at all points where oxygen is readily available, and it sounds as if Ubiquiti Networks is right there with us. The outfit has just rolled out a new outdoor wireless backhaul radio platform dubbed AirFiber, which represents its first proprietary in-house radio design effort that was purpose-built for the Wireless ISP Industry. It hums along in the license-free 24GHz band, and provides optical fiber network performance without the significant capital costs associated with fiber cable network deployment. At $ 2,995 per link, it’s hardly meant for consumer consumption, but but we’re hoping it’ll bring the world wide web to more of the world when enterprise outfits start deploying ‘em later this year.
[Thanks, Shawn]

Crazy Cat Lady Commissions 9-Foot Harry Potter Themed OUTDOOR Cat House
Author:
This is Laura Marshall’s 9-foot tall custom cat house. It was built by Will Whitehouse in Houston, Texas to resemble The Burrow (Weasley residence) from the Harry Potter series. Laura will try to tell you she’s not a crazy cat lady, but you and I both know she’s tried their treats. One for you, and one for me… Some worthwhile quotes:
I’m real glad you went with that [aluminum for the windows] instead ’cause I know initially you talked about using copper, and copper, not only is it expensive, but it’s not something the Weasleys would use.
If you downplay the cat part, and if you up-play yard art — is what I was going for.
Oh def, Laura — good call on the Weasleys choosing aluminum over copper. *giant magical eyeroll* “Whatever, GW — you’re just jealous.” Ugh, my cats actually deserve that cathouse.
Hit the jump for a super crappy local news report in which the cameraman literally gets ZERO good footage of the cathouse. You know, because the people are what we really wanted to see.

Ask Engadget: best earbuds for outdoor / fitness use?
Author: Charity Woods

“I’m planning to buy a set of earbuds for outdoor use, mainly for sport. There are so many options — I’m curious if anyone has any specific suggestions. It goes without saying that the plugs should be easy to pop in the ear as well as take them off, and the wire to player should be as light as possible. Thanks for the help!”
