Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users.
Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system. Logitech.com

Bose noise-masking Sleepbuds. Tiny, wireless earbuds that combine an ultra-comfortable design with soothing sounds to block, cover, and replace the most common noises that interfere with sleep. Bose Sleepbuds are the smallest Bose product ever made, and are packed with proprietary technology. They come with 10 pre-loaded “sleeptracks” that mirror the frequencies of snoring, neighbors, dogs, traffic, and more — hiding them beneath a layer of relaxing audio.
Bose Sleepbuds are the first Bose product to use Bose noise-masking technology. They aren’t active noise cancelling headphones, they’re not in-ear headphones with an added feature, and they don’t stream music — because every last detail was optimized for one thing — better sleep, all night, every night.

Anker Innovations will be launching a new audio brand this spring. We would like to extend an invitation to our upcoming press preview to provide an exclusive sneak peak of the brand, our bespoke technology and the new products launching across audio categories in the coming months.
There are secrets in the audio industry…
First, music fans are told that incredible sound quality is only available from a few special places. Perhaps from a brand with decades of audio heritage or maybe from a speaker that costs more than people can afford. Then, when we finally hear this exclusive sound, we have no choice but to throw our hands in the air, jump in a pool, or start a spontaneous beach party.
We use innovation, experience, and pioneering listener analysis to create products that revolutionize expectations for audio quality.
Our ‘Play’ buttons don’t just start a party for beautiful people, they begin an unforgettable journey that moves, touches, and thrills.
After all, only real sound creates real emotion.

The Times Square Ball is a time ball located in New York City’s Times Square. Located on the roof of One Times Square, the ball is a prominent part of a New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square commonly referred to as the ball drop, where the ball descends 141 feet in 60 seconds down a specially designed flagpole, beginning at 11:59:00 p.m. ET, and resting at midnight to signal the start of the new year. In recent years, the festivities have been preceded by live entertainment, including performances by musicians.
The event was first organized by Adolph Ochs, owner of The New York Times newspaper, as a successor to a series of New Year’s Eve fireworks displays he held at the building to promote its status as the new headquarters of the Times, while the ball itself was designed by Artkraft Strauss. First held on December 31, 1907, to welcome 1908, the ball drop has been held annually since, except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts.
The ball’s design has been updated over the years to reflect improvements in lighting technology; the ball was initially constructed from wood and iron, and lit with 100 incandescent light bulbs. The current incarnation, designed by Harlem-based architectural lighting firm Focus Lighting, features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangular crystal panels. These panels are produced by Waterford Crystal, and contain inscriptions representing a yearly theme.
There are many powerful people in the world – but only a few who will truly change it this year.
The inaugural Bloomberg 50 list will break the mold of “power rankings” by using hard facts to identify the leaders who quantifiably changed the landscape of global business in 2017. True to our DNA, the list will be infused with data to show how each selected individual transformed his/her industry in the past twelve months.
Bloomberg editors will be scouring the universe all year to identify The Bloomberg 50 – we don’t know who’ll make the list yet but we do know it will reveal unexpected disruptors and shine a new light on the people you thought you knew. Bloomberg 50
