Came across this article on the bbc. This is the best part: Seems like another effort on making some money off placebo.

Google posted a video just yesterday:       To me it looks like the future of mobile computing. If the voice activated controls can work as shown, that is.   Here's the official link: http://www.google.com/glass/start/   What do you think?

Do any of you enjoy Sim Racing ?   I'm a big fan of GTR2. Playing it for 4 years now. The most realistic game I've tried, in terms of physics and handling, and the car setup is awesome.  Also the mods and extra tracks are amazing.

Hi all, I think this article is pretty interesting, in terms of understanding buying preferences.    http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/10/weve-located-the-reality-distortion-field-and-its-in-the-consumers-brain/?comments=1#comments-bar   In a gist:   The Reality Distortion Field...

I'm particularly bad in this regard.   I can listen to a song multiple times, but everytime I find I don't know or remember the lyrics, I was enjoying other things in the song. I do remember the tone and emotion, the articulation of the singer's voice, but won't pay attention to lyrics...

Hi all,  I regularly keep reading this term: Juice. The usage as I can see in the forums is varied, comments like   Quote:   or,   Quote:   So I put forth this question, what is this juice?  Is there any scientific meaning to it? Or is it just a hypothetical concept?

Hi all, A lot of people ask this question in the other sections, so I thought this can be the thread to discuss it and hopefully it can act as a reference. Headphones come in variety of Impedance (or *Nominal* Impedance values). Some manufacturers like Beyerdynamic have 2-3 different...

  Hi all, This will be my first full size headphone purchase. Previously I have owned the following: Sennheiser PX200, CX550, HD239 (after the PX200 broke down) and Shure SE425. I use the HD239 primarily with my computer for watching movies and playing games, and for serious music...

Hi All, I tried looking for this topic on the forum, but didn't really find a lot of information. Most of us juniors have started their audio-experience with a portable audio player, or a CD-less form factor. I use my iPod with lossless files, but so far do not use any amplifier. I've been...
