Beatles Online Next Year

Beatles Online Next YearYou can already legally download the solo work of John, Paul, George and Ringo. But getting your hands on the work they did together has meant going out and buying CDs (or holding on to that oldvinyl) – at least if you want to do it legally.   That will finally change in the next few months, according to an interview Sir Paul McCartney gave to Billboard.com.   EMI has seemingly been on the verge of making the Beatles’ work available for legal download for quite a while now, but hasn’t tippedover the edge. Finally, though, it seems that most of the problems have been solved, with only one point remaining.   "You’ve got to get these things right," McCartney said. "Youdon’t want to do something that’s as cool as that and in three years time you think, ‘Oh God, why did we do that?’"   McCartney expects the music to be available next year, and it willdoubtlessly spark a spur in downloading, especially from baby boomers. One of the problems has been a legal trademark dispute between Apple Corps with computer maker Apple, which was settled in February.

8 reasons the Tineco Floor One Stretch S6 should be your next vacuum
Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6 180° Lay-Flat Design

Tineco is back with an innovative vacuum that offers many excellent features in the Floor One Stretch S6, with the main goal of providing ultimate convenience while you clean. For example, its 180-degree lay-flat design allows you to easily get into hard-to-reach places, such as under furniture, where you wouldn't normally be able to. That's because the vacuum compresses, unlike comparable models, which might be bulky or rigid. The 5.1-inch compact design also improves the nook-access offering a low-profile to begin with. But while these features are certainly helpful, they're not the only reason why you might want to get yourself a Floor One Stretch S6. I'd argue there are many more reasons, and I've laid them out simply for you below.

Why you should buy the Costco membership deal
If you're aware of Costco, then you'll know that you really need a membership to do most things with the company. That makes this very unlike, for example, the Best Buy Memorial Day sale where a membership to Best Buy Plus might save you some extras. With Costco, the membership card is very important. And this deal is a great way to get one for a technical discount. If you quality to get the card on this deal — you live in the USA or Puerto Rico and haven't been a Costco member in the past 18 months — you'll also get a digital Costco Shop Card, a sort of gift card. Since you're already planning on shopping at Costco at this point, anyhow, this is a technical discount. Now, all that remains is to pick your tier: Gold Star or Executive Gold Star.

The Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam Starlight on a shelf.

Ring's catalog is growing a bit larger this month with the arrival of the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam on May 30. This marks the first time the company has released an integrated pan-tilt camera, and for shoppers seeking a device that can capture all corners of their room, it should be an enticing option.

Using the Ring app, you can control the viewing angle of the Pan-Tilt Cam remotely. Its motorized base can swivel up or down and pan left or right, allowing you to move the camera as you see fit. That allows for 360-degree horizontal coverage and 169-degree vertical tilt coverage. Ring says it designed the camera to deal with a variety of common situations experienced by its customers -- such as scanning a living room to check on a pet or attempting to monitor multiple doorways and windows throughout the home.
