Hahaha, great visual.

"The Swash 1000 is Brondell's fanciest model, and at $600, it's not cheap, but the analogous Toto Washlet starts at $1,300."

Or in the Virginia Governor's opinion, a pat down of a person, over the clothes, at the airport, with at least a semi-logical basis of preventing weapons from being brought on board an airplane, would constitute a grievous violation of civil liberties. Shoving an 8 inch wand up someone else's vagina, no problem. …

A lot of men have opinions on when it is an isn't invasive to shove something inside a woman. I'm surprised and disappointed. I particularly like the "she had something in there when she got pregnant" line of reasoning. Why not just abolish rape for non-virgins. Once one penis has been in there, why not all of…

Is this required to give the RU-486 pill?

So, a search engine that gives you the stupidest answers it can find? Cha-cha!

A huge overestimate.

What do you mean by professional? If you are using one of those chain operations, you are basically paying a moron who is unfamiliar with your activities to run the same software you can use at home.

I have an eeeBox which I picked up on the cheap to use as a HTPC. I had some trouble with it streaming 1080p from my NAS in XBMC inconsistently until I created a OpenElec/XBMC thumb drive and now it runs near perfectly. It was incredibly easy to set up, and I can run Windows by taking the thumb drive out in case I…

Amen. I picked up a pair of Sennheisser HD580s for home listening at a discount when they switched models. Ran me around $150. They are neutral and gorgeous and I can adjust the bass, treble and midrange on my system if I want.

Shouldn't neutrality be what you strive for no matter what the source material is? If the mixing and production process emphasizes something, a neutral pair of speakers of headphones will showcase it.

You still need paper. You just need a lot less of it.

My toto washlet s300 did all of this several years ago, and has a smart chip to preheat for me based on my usage patterns. It cost about the same, maybe $50 less, and has the remote that slides into a base mounted on the wall next to the throne.

Agree. I'm interested in 4k and OLED and other improvements in the picture quality, which is actually hard to imagine at this point. Other than that I really just want the TV to act as a monitor, with one HDMI cable or something superior that connects to my AV processor. I'm never going to move away from using…

A fair point. I think they have licensed that technology out to other companies like Rotel, Bel Canto, Jeff Rowland and Wyred4Sound although I haven't really heard enough class D amps to pass judgment. I imagine class D has a huge future. Too bad B&O doesn't make amps.

In what world is B&O known for high quality sound? High design and high prices maybe, but nobody has accused B&O of sounding good in decades.

HBO Go has some shows available that I can't get on my HBO In Demand.

I get that, but when you have fully sealed in ear headphones it seems pointless to me. My Etymotics seal out the sound to the point I have never wanted for noise cancelling and don't use them when they give them to me for free. Granted the US airlines usually hand out Bose, ANA does have pretty sweet Sony noise…

The cause of the fire is not known.

I guess the Klipsch headphones are okay and I have always liked their Heresy and Klipschorns, and Sony makes the SS-AR1 speakers and some good headphones, but I'll stick to headphone companies for headphones and speaker companies for speakers. Sennheiser, Etymotic, AkG, Grado, Hifiman and the others already make…
