@(Xeraphim): These headphones, especially the reference ones are music production quality headphones... that's why they are expensive. A person who just wants to listen to music shouldn't really be buying them unless they care that much about the sound they are listening to.

@Weakskills: Peter Weller's on a new TV show, where??? Honestly, I haven't watched TV in months.

So let me get this straight... you're giving the machines metabolic capabilities... Sounds like a Synthetic to me... Time to get Chuck Taggart and company to put the Kibosh on that...

Skynet blah blah... ignorant fools, it's the AI's from Odyssey 5. And we have nothing to worry about... Peter Weller erm I mean Chuck Taggert will save us!

Looks like a damn manually activated stargate... except maybe they should put the pedals elsewhere... wouldn't want your legs to missing when the event window opens.

I go to the bar and drink... erm, yeah, guess maybe that's not good for my brain either...

Dude looks like he stole his suit from Kolchak...

Lurve video pinball!!! Thank you!

A medium he could use to finally get out from under corrupt labels, monopolistic distribution channels, and payola radio and music video outlets and he curses it out. Hey dinosaur, go extinct already.

@mike_le: It's a CYA move... remember Georgia Tech?

It must be explicitly pointed out that the waste is called a gift in order to get around rules against sending toxic materials to poor countries. This is from the same NY Times piece: [www.nytimes.com]

@haxorknight: A large majority of the "donated" stuff is e-waste. It is erroneous for anyone to think any of that stuff is a donation. I've actually followed stories like this for the last decade. I also know about this because as an IT professional, I've seen companies "donate" stuff before. It's junk that no…

Recently heard at Apple:

@Adam: Dude, I wouldn't complain... without it, comment section would probably implode like Engadget's did.

Sergey and Larry will walk out with rakish beards and state that they are going to the dark side and embracing evil. Their statement as to why will be:

That illustration is awesome. I have to say, Sam's work is extremely entertaining.

Okay, I don't get this argument... lets forget about the stupid incident that caused his demise... perhaps he would have ran to this company successfully, growth to further growth in obscurity. What's wrong with that? Some (not all) of these CEO's with so called personalities are childish blowhards with egos so…

And I thought some awful woman's singing at my cousin's wedding was bad...

@Jose Ugarte: Well they are kinda being marketed to DJ's. They of course tend to either use mp3's at much higher bitrates than normal, wavs, or vinyl.
