The Panasonic NN-H765BF Is A Good Microwave If You Need One

I have a good memory of the first microwave we purchased’ it must have been 25 to 30 years ago. It was really large, and we needed to buy a special cart for it since it was too big for our counter top. In fact, it was probably roughly 5 times the size of microwave ovens that you can get these days. This is one of the main reasons we are going to talk about the Panasonic NN-H765BF.

Even though there are various models of microwaves out these days, you will find some that have no features at all, and others that are loaded with features. The model we are looking at here actually has a number of features. In this article, we will discuss a number of the features that come standard with this unit.

The inside capacity of this unit is a rather sizeable 1.6 cubic feet, which makes it large enough to handle just about anything you can think of. One other thing you might like about this unit is the fact that it has a 15-inch turntable. The turntable will help see to it that your foods are cooked evenly and you won’t have one side of the food becoming tough and rubbery.

The fact that this unit has a one touch sensor cooking feature is another thing numerous people like. This does away with the guesswork of making your foods as this automatically cooks your food at the appropriate power level and cooking times. The keep warm function is one other great innovation that will help you keep things like gravy warm without overcooking it.

And for people who like eating popcorn but can never seem to get it right, the Panasonic NN-H765BF 1250 Watt Microwave Oven is equipped with 3 different popcorn timers depending on the size of the popcorn bag. Something else that the Panasonic NN-H765BF 1250 Watt Microwave Oven has that you won’t find in many other units is a moisture sensor. This helps ensure your food doesn’t get dried out. Making food in microwaves in the past has always caused numerous foods to become dry.

And no matter what you are cooking, you will be able to be sure you have the right settings. The unit comes programmed with foods like frozen pizza, baked potatoes and even omelettes. This will help you cook your foods for the appropriate amount of time.

The Panasonic NN-H765BF is a more sizeable model than some of the more stripped down versions which will end up taking up more space. Even though it is much larger, the Panasonic NN-H765BF still is so much smaller than the first microwave my family had.

Overall, this truly is a good unit and has several features that you may find useful. Amazon sells this microwave model and will also ship it right to your door. You can really save 28% from the retail price by ordering the Panasonic NN-H765BF from Amazon.

Turntable.fm and a wave of similar new services turn your browser into a powerful tool for social music discovery and enjoyment.

Will this new online group-listening room achieve the same popularity as the site it mimics so successfully? Who knows, but we’re impressed that someone has already launched such a complete knock-off of the Turntable.fm concept.

Turntable.fm is off-limits to non-US music fans

Posted by on Saturday, 25 June, 2011


Let’s just face it — anytime some new start-up comes along and tries to innovate around the idea of music, it is hit by some roadblocks. Latest one to realize that  – Turntable.fm. The social music discovery service is now unavailable to International visitors and is now restricted to just the US residents. In a tweet this morning, the company shared the news with its followers.

It is a shame considering Turntable.fm was just beginning to blow up and ushering in a new era of music consumption. In a few weeks, Turntable.fm (formerly Stickybits) had attracted 140,000 members and was being actively pursued by investors. Many were skeptical of the legality of the service and the current actions are only going to increase investor skepticism.

Being supremely addicted to Turntable.fm, I hope this little startup finds a way to first survive and then thrive, because it has a lot of potential. Olga Nunes, a San Francisco-based musician used Turntable.fm to get traction and push sales of her music. I think this is the read potential of Turntable.fm — artists and fans, all in one room, driving sales. Say what Lady Gaga???

What is Turntable.fm? Here is what I wrote in a previous post.

Turntable.fm is a New York City-based social music listening and discovery service that is spreading on the web like wildfire. The idea behind the service is pretty simple: You sign-up by using your Facebook credentials, create a music listening room and invite people to come join you in the room. You can create a playlist by selecting songs from the service or upload your tracks. Others can join, and become co-deejays.

If you don’t want to deejay, you can skip from one room to another based on musical interests. You can chat with others and share your playlists. You even get your own avatar that bobs to music. The whole experience is not just about music. It’s about finding others who enjoy music and forming relationships with them — albeit transient ones.

Mopho DJ uses your iPhone to track turntable movement (instead of your movements)

Posted by on Saturday, 14 May, 2011
We have to admit, we never thought of this one — and it’s pretty, pretty slick. Instead of using time-coded vinyl to interface your turntable with your computer as with Final Scratch Pro or Serato Scratch, Nicholas J. Bryan’s Mopho DJ uses an iPhone. That’s right, our man at Stanford University literally affixes his smartphones to his decks via a perspex disc and some sort of adhesive. The smartphones each run an app which sends accelerometer and gyroscope data to a computer, which then adjusts playback of your music accordingly. It’s still a work-in-progress at the moment, but if you’re in Oslo the first week in June make sure you check it out at the NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) conference. This is definitely the kind of iOS location tracking we can get behind! Check it out on video after the break.
