Und wieder deckt die “Weltwoche” eine unerhörte Geschichte auf.

Gemäss Recherchen der oben genannten Zeitung soll ein Informant den SRG-Generaldirektor Roger de Weck darüber ins Bild gesetzt haben, dass SF-Meteorologe Thomas Bucheli an einem Hochbrisanten Insiderdeal beteiligt gewesen sein soll. Konkret geht es darum, dass Buchelis Frau Mitte Dezember in einem Pneuhaus in Zürich-Altstetten neue Winterreifen gekauft haben soll und zwar genau einen Tag bevor es zum ersten mal bis ins Flachland geschneit hat. 

Dieser Reifenhandel wirft natürlich viele Fragen auf. Hat Buchelis Frau vom bevorstehenden Schneefall gewusst? Hat Thomas Bucheli selbst den Reifendeal eingefädelt? Wer hat alles von der ganzen Sache profitiert? Eins ist auf jeden Fall klar. Die Sache stinkt zum Himmel! 

Höchst pikant ist, dass der Informant (ein Hilfsarbeiter des Pneuhauses) mit seinen Beweisen zuerst zum obersten Muotathaler Wetterfrosch Hans-Heiri Tresch (ein seit Jahren vehementer Kritiker von Bucheli) ging, und dieser wiederum spielte die “Reifenakte”  der “Weltwoche” und danach Roger de Weck zu. Was wiederum die Schlussfolgerung zulässt, dass sich Hans-Heiri Tresch den Moderationsposten auf dem Dach im Studio Leutschenbach unter den Nagel reissen will. Da Tresch im Moment “in der Zeit des Schweigens” ist, war keine Stellungnahme von ihm zu erhalten. Thomas Bucheli seinerseits weist alle gegen ihn erhobenen Vorwürfe vehement zurück. 

Eine Blitz-Umfrage von 20minuten Online hat übrigens ergeben das 98% der Userinnen und User nicht wissen wer Thomas Bucheli ist, was Roger de Weck wiederum auf die sinkenden Einschaltquoten zurückführte.

Stumbled over Maverick Sabre….. London born, Irish raised singer songwriter Maverick Sabre has his name ringing round my head (thank you @nicolissa for pointing it out)

Maverick Sabre’s gritty yet soulful voice (Charles Bradley anyone ?) is just awesome…. don’t know why - but #MeLikes - Hope to see him on stage soon… Maybe in Glasgow next year….

Beats by Dr Dre Wireless: A short review…

Hey Hey – Finally I found a pair of Dr Dre’s new wireless Beats headphones in the Apple Store in Zurich…. Just a must have for me – especially after my Bose’s got stolen by a bugger 2 weeks ago… 

The Beats by Dr Dre headphones haven’t been around for long but, and I feared they will never show up in stores (even on monstercable.com – they are still shown as out of stock) I just walked into the Apple Store to give it a shoot (which seemed to be a long shot) – because I read that some folks in Canada and the US have found them in the Apple Stores (but nowhere online).

Whether you’re listening to NWA’s Straight Outta Compton or Sean Hayes’ Powerful Stuff, Dr Dre’s Beats by Dre headphones have become the premium brand headphones to be seen with in public. From NFL footballers to teenagers who hang outside our local branch of Migros- almost everyone wears them (especially the In-Ears). And now they’re wireless. That’s a great thing, right?

Well… these new cable free cans connect to any music playing device via Bluetooth, something that can cause a dip in audio quality compared to going wireless via WiFi. Nevertheless (In a noisy train – you want hear it), Bluetooth remains the most practical option and Dre’s team are promising the quality Beats are known for has not been compromised.


Build quality

Smaller than the “classic” Beats Studio range that Beats By Dre have built their reputation upon, the Beats Wireless is essentially a tweaked pair of their smaller Solo ‘phones. They’re slightly weighty due to the batteries, controls, Bluetooth tech, and microphone built inside, but it’s a good weight for the size of the product. I still was a bit surprised as I hoped for the Studio size….

It feels right in your hand, on your head, and, as always too small for around my neck (So I can’t look that cool as others do ;-)).

 

Style

Even if you hate Dre (yes Ice Cube, we’re talking to you here) you cannot deny that these new headphones look pretty damned beautiful as the whole range of them do. At a time when Beats have launched some neon colored Studio headphones, these are gloriously black, minimalistic, with more curves than a zero.

In use

The built in Bluetooth technology wirelessly connected to my Aifon 4 with absolutely no fuss – it connected to the Aifon and started playing music without entering any codes or whatever. Managing the volume, skipping tracks, and answering phone calls is all managed directly from the ear cups, which takes some time getting used to, but after a day I already feel comfortable in doing so.

Recharging via a USB is simple and fuss free, and the quality of audio meanwhile is simply excellent. Not as clear as the Dr Dre Pro –but for commuting – just awesome!

I wonder how long the power will last… there’s nothing more dangerous commuting than me – without music… (Falling Down, anyone? =) maybe I have to have a spare of In-Ears with me for the worst case.


What they should ad is a battery-meter for the Aifon, same as the Jawbone have.

 

Anyway – so far I’m happy with them – sound is excellent – no cables is awesome – and with the current temperatures – I love ‘em =)

 

As said, I found them in the Apple Store here in Zuerich. Data Quest is expecting them in December an so does K55.ch
