iRiver's AK120 promises 'the finest audio,' priced at $1,300 with a leather case
Love music? Sure you do -- but can you really claim to be a true music lover if you're not plunking down $1,300 for the latest MQS (Mastering Quality Sound) player from iRiver? The AK120 looks a fair bit like its predecessor, the AK100 (albeit slightly larger), and features a 2.4-inch IPS touchcreen. Inside, you'll find two digital-to-analog converters, dual Wolfson WM8740 DAC chips and 64GB of memory, which is expandable up to 192GB via two microSD card slots. The AK120 can handle a slew of formats, including WAV, FLAC, WMA, MP3, OGG, APE, AAC, ALAC and AIFF, with DSD on the way. And just in case you were worried that the price tag was a bit steep, keep in in mind that it includes "the finest handmade Italian-designed leather case."

CSN: Indians hit 3 indisputable HRs, sweep A's
CLEVELAND -- Jason Kipnis, Nick Swisher and Mark Reynolds hit indisputable home runs and Scott Kazmir struck out 10 in six innings, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 9-2 win over Oakland on Thursday and a four-game sweep of the Athletics.
[RELATED: MLB: Improper call was made]
The Indians ended the series with a convincing blowout, one day after they won 4-3 with the help of a blown call in the ninth inning when umpires, after watching a video replay, ruled that an apparent tying home run by Oakland's Adam Rosales was a double.
Major League Baseball acknowledged the umpires made an "improper call," but executive vice president Joe Torre said the decision is final.

Study demonstrates that once-a-day pill offers relief from ragweed allergy symptoms
Study demonstrates that once-a-day pill offers relief from ragweed allergy symptoms
Wednesday, May 8, 2013An international team of researchers, led by physician-scientists at Johns Hopkins, reports that a once-daily tablet containing a high dose of a key ragweed pollen protein effectively blocks the runny noses, sneezes, nasal congestion and itchy eyes experienced by ragweed allergy sufferers.
Tests showed that treatment with the pill, which contains the protein Ambrosia artemisiifolia major allergen 1, and is placed under the tongue to be absorbed, also reduced the need for anti-allergy drugs to get relief. More than 80 million Americans are allergic to ragweed.
The study is believed to be the first and largest, multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of its kind to investigate the use of sublingual immunotherapy against ragweed allergy. Begun in April 2010, it was funded by the drug's manufacturer, Merck of Whitehouse Station, N.J.
Results of the trial, published today in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, showed that overall symptoms and need for such allergy medications as antihistamines and nasal steroids fell by 27 percent in people who took a pill containing 12 units of the allergen. During peak ragweed season, the roughly two-week period between August and October when pollen counts are highest, symptoms and medication use dropped 24 percent.
Researchers say that if the pill wins approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it could serve as a more convenient, less painful option than weekly or monthly allergy shots. The pill also presents fewer potential side effects than allergen injections.
"Our results show this oral tablet for ragweed allergy is highly effective and well-tolerated, and offers considerable relief from what many allergy sufferers consider the most agonizing part of the year," says allergist and lead study investigator Peter Creticos, M.D.
Some 784 men and women from the United States, Canada, Hungary, Russia and the Ukraine volunteered to take part in the year-long study, in which participants were randomly assigned to take either a high-, medium-, or low-dose tablet, or placebo. Neither researchers nor study participants were aware of which dose of the pill or placebo they were taking. Patients kept track of their symptoms and medication use through detailed and daily diaries, which were later scored by researchers for analysis.
"Physicians treating ragweed allergy sufferers may soon have an alternative to the current approach to managing ragweed allergy, which usually involves weekly or monthly visits to the doctor's office for allergy shots and carries the risk of swelling and pain at the injection site, plus risk of anaphylactic shock," says Creticos, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Creticos says that no adverse events occurred during the study. The only side effects observed were mild throat irritation, itchy tongue and swollen lips.
Creticos says his team has also begun studies of other non-injectible forms of immunotherapy, including ragweed allergy drops, and treatment applications where the allergen is lightly pricked or inserted into the middle layers of the skin.

Pinterest Pins Its Hopes On International Growth, Starts Out With Localizing ?Pin It Forward' Campaign To Drive More U.K. Posts
Pinterest is ramping up its international strategy by kicking off a localisation effort in the U.K. today, tweaking the site so that it deliberately foregrounds U.K. content to U.K. users and also adding a British English language setting to make Brits feel more at home.?The U.K. is the first part in what appears to be a bigger strategy to target more usage, and more users, outside of the U.S., with France likely to be the next country to get the localizing treatment, according to a spokeswoman. We’ve asked Pinterest if it is conducting parallel localisation efforts in other global markets and will update this story with any response.?Update:?“Pinterest does feel like it?s just getting started with its localisation efforts and with the UK being the first international effort the team is hoping to learn a lot from it, in order to inform how they reach out to communities in other countries. France is likely to be next but Pinterest is waiting to finalise these details until after they?ve learned more from the UK,” the spokeswoman said. The company is not currently breaking out user numbers, but according to one?estimate?Pinterest had some 40 million users as of February this year. Back in February?Pinterest raised $200 million in Series D funding?– with “international growth” pegged as one of the growth-oriented initiatives that the money would be used for. Last year it also picked up a $100 billion?investment from Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten?– a further sign of its?international ambitions. While in March this year, Pinterest?rolled out a design refresh, adding?bigger pictures and more discovery features worldwide. It also?rolled out a web analytics?product?to make it easier for businesses to track referrals and measure what users are doing on the site. Today’s localisation efforts reinforce ?that effort by encouraging greater user engagement — and driving engagement is likely to be key to helping the social network generate revenues some day. Here’s how the company explained the U.K.-specific site changes in an email sent to TechCrunch: …more UK Pinners and pins will be suggested to UK users on the site. Also, when a new person in the UK joins Pinterest, they?ll now see other Pinners in the UK. In addition, search results will feature more UK content. Finally, Pinterest is making sure that people in the UK can access the service in British English. We?re hoping this will lead to more British pinners discovering things theySource: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/qwstcLnacyE/

First Apple store in Berlin, Germany opens to enormous crowds
Whenever Apple does something, hoards of excited people usually follow. Today's opening of the very first Apple Store in the German capital, Berlin, was absolutely no exception. As is tradition, huge crowds of eager Apple fans queued up for as long as 10 hours prior, according to the Berlin Morgenpost.
The first 4500 people through the doors were presented with the traditional special edition t-shirts. The actual store itself is pretty sizeable, checking in at 5000 square meters and housing briefing and event rooms. The 2-year project to bring the Apple Store Kurf?rstendamm to life has resulted in a truly stunning store. Housed in one of Berlin's renovated historic buildings, Germany's eleventh Apple Store opened at 5pm local time to the usual cheering, clapping and all round wall of noise.
The good people over at Appdated.de were on hand for the grand opening, so for a host more pictures of the new store be sure to head on over there and take a look. Inside, it's traditional Apple fare. Minimalist, stylish, all wrapped up in a stunning-looking building.
If you made the trip today, be sure to shout out and share your experiences with us, and give us some thoughts on Berlin's first Apple Retail Store.
