See The Latest Gadgets, Gizmos And Apple Fans [Macworld 2014 Liveblog]


Macworld has moved back to its traditional San Francisco venue - the main Moscone Center, rather than the newer Moscone West building - and we're here on Wednesday night for a press preview from a handful of exhibitors.



This wireless speaker range from Korus caught my eye. This flagship V600 boombox was cranking out music loud and clear, filling the room with rich, punchy sound.


I was surprised until the rep told me it has a 1,000 watt amplifier - but can run off six D batteries.


The Kronos speaker range is wireless, multi-speaker that's like a cross between a wireless speaker and a system like Sonos.


Using a dongle, it streams music from an iPhone, iPad or computer, but system supports multiple speakers (up to four).


Like Sonos, the speakers are pricey. The V600 lists for $590 but can be found for about $450. The company claims to have high-end audio roots, and it certainly sounds like it. "They are as good or better than Sonos," one of the reps said.



MacPaw 's Hider 2 is a secure porn hider... I mean, a secure file vault for all your most sensitive files.


Hider 2 is a $20 utility for keeping private data private. Unlike OS X's built-in FileVault, the utility only hides certain files and folders. FileVault encrypts entire disks.


The utility (now in version 2) is best for hiding a handful of files or folders from prying eyes. Everything stored in Hider is password protected and locked using AES-256 encryption. None of the files are indexed by OS X's Finder or Spotlight.


But is it any good for hiding porn? The rep was a little evasive. "We're not sure," she said, "but yes, we think some customers hide it from their spouses."
