In this article Srijeeb Roy introduces a lightweight approach to capturing the end user's experience of application response time. He also shows you how to send and log client-side response times on a server for future analysis. Level: Intermediate

How Time-Traveling Could Affect Quantum Computing

JBL On Time 400iHD: HD radio and iPod speaker dock in one

iPod speakers are a dime a dozen. There are big ones and small ones; black ones and red ones; some with alarm clocks, and many with built-in docks. As one might expect, you don't have to look hard to find models with integrated FM--and even AM--radios, but if you must have cutting-edge tech, HD radio with iTunes Tagging is where it's at. Among the handful of models offering this feature is the JBL On Time 400iHD, a tabletop speaker dock with JBL's signature space-age design. At $300, the On Time is anything but cheap, but the plethora of features and excellent FM radio reception may make it worth it for some. Read the JBL On Time 400iHD review.
