Vertus adds stereo Bluetooth to any pair of powered speakers... if they have a 3.5mm jack

Nowadays we're spoiled with options in the Bluetooth speaker market, and many of the high-end ones -- especially those from Soundfreaq and Nokia -- even feature dual-system streaming (DSS) that lets one speaker pair with another to enable true stereo playback. But if you already have a pair of old but nice-sounding speakers with 3.5mm input on both, then here's a quick and easy way to add Bluetooth to them. Dubbed Vertus, this Kickstarter project features the above pair of receivers based on CSR's TrueWireless Stereo, a nifty technology that's been made available since early 2009.

Similar to any DSS system, one of the Vertus dongles (the right channel, in this case) acts as the master to receive the stereo stream from a Bluetooth source, and then it'd throw the left-channel stream to the other dongle. So provided that your speakers have their own power source to amplify, it's just a matter of charging these aluminum dongles up (a single charge lasts up to 10 hours), plugging them in and then pairing the right receiver with your audio source. Simple! That said, at $120 this kit may struggle to gain traction in retail, so hopefully the audio quality will somewhat justify the price. Introductory video after the break.

Internet sales tax bill advances in Senate

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Wider U.S. tax collections on Internet sales moved another step closer to reality on Wednesday as legislation in the U.S. Senate cleared another procedural hurdle.

The 75-22 Senate vote cleared the way for consideration of a bill that would empower U.S. states to require out-of-state retailers to collect online sales taxes from customers.

A vote on passage of the measure could come this week.

Supporters include brick-and-mortar retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Best Buy Co Inc, as well as cash-strapped state governments.

Amazon.com Inc, which hopes to simplify its U.S. state retail tax situation, also backs the legislation.

Opponents include many online merchants, including eBay Inc and Overstock.com Inc.

Prospects for passage are murky in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where some Republicans view it as a tax increase.

New York Times posts sharp 1Q profit decline

NEW YORK (AP) ? The New York Times Co. reported a sharp decline in its first-quarter earnings on Thursday mainly because businesses it sold last year were not included in the latest results.

The company earned $3.1 million, or 2 cents per share, in the January-March period. That's down 93 percent from $42.1 million, or 28 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.

Excluding severance costs and the results of businesses the company has sold, earnings were 4 cents per share in the latest quarter, matching Wall Street's expectations but down from 5 cents per share in the first quarter of 2012.

Revenue fell 2 percent to $465.9 million from $475.4 million.

Analysts, on average, were expecting revenue of $469.1 million, according to a poll by FactSet.

Advertising revenue dropped 11 percent to $191.1 million from $215.2 million.

Circulation revenue rose 7 percent to $241.8 million from $227 million, as the company attracted more people who signed up for digital and print subscriptions. It ended the quarter with 708,000 digital-only subscription accounts, up 45 percent from a year ago.

The Times Co.'s stock rose 21 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $9.21 in afternoon trading. The company's stock is up nearly 8 percent in 2013.

The company announced new products aimed at growing revenue. Its plans include lower-priced subscriptions as well as premium subscriptions, e-commerce and enhanced video.

"We mean to grow our business by launching new products and services based on the unique strengths of Times journalism and by investing in the rapid expansion of existing operations ? video and live events are examples ? where we're already seeing strong growth," said Times Co. president and CEO Mark Thompson, in a statement.

Games are another area of interest for the Times Co. Last year, the company expanded its famous crossword franchise with increased marketing of its Web and mobile crossword products. As a result, it added "a sizable number" of subscribers to those products, said Thompson on a conference call with analysts.

"Based on this experience and market indicators ?which point to healthy growth of casual gaming users, especially in mobile? we believe there is an opportunity to expand our footprint in this market," Thompson said.

The company said it expects circulation revenue to increase in the mid-single digits in the second quarter compared with a year ago. It anticipates advertising revenue trends will be "somewhat better" than they were in the first quarter.

Earthquake rocks Afghanistan, felt in Pakistan and India

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A moderate earthquake hit Afghanistan on Wednesday and was felt as far away as the Indian capital of New Delhi, the latest in a string of tremors to shake Asia in the past week.

The 5.7 magnitude quake was 40 miles deep with an epicenter 16 miles northwest of Jalalabad, Afghanistan, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its website. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

Buildings swayed in the Indian capital New Delhi and people ran into the street in the disputed northern region of Kashmir, where an earthquake killed about 75,000 people in 2005, most on the Pakistan side. Wednesday's tremor was also felt in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

Last week, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake killed nearly 200 people in southwest China, a few days after another powerful tremor killed 35 people in Pakistan near the border with Iran.
