Remember when Altec Lansing was the name in portable audio? I remember getting an Altec Lansing iPod dock for my bar mitzvah almost 10 years ago.

Every now and then, Techcitement will get something a bit different to review. In this case, it’s Doppler Labs’s Dubbs. Despite what you may think, these are not earplugs.

Recently, a video was released of a woman, Shoshana Roberts, walking through the streets of New York, being harassed as she goes.
