And the second post was for emphasis?

I did edit the link when it didn't work in preview but I have no idea why it posted twice. I figured it was best not to mess with it when it was working.

I'm still amazed no one has commented on the story about a Japanese company selling the "scent of a young boy's backside", along with other questionable scents.

Never saw Spock wearing one of those.

I remember seeing those ads and thinking how stupid those helmets were.

but ...


It has SONIC SOUND !!!

I can't decide who looks less thrilled:

this is an actual iphone case:

Only +10?

My Blackguard Hood gives me more than that.

What exactly does the gold plating do for an optical medium?

One of many systems for separating fools from money.

Whatever. C'mon - FREE SHIPPING!!. An army of marketing wanks couldn't make up stuff like that.

Some fibers do indeed work better in one direction. Not that audio or consumer level video comes even remotely close to saturating the bandwidth on cheap fiber.

I tried the non-directional cables. They shot video all over the wall behind my TV. What a mess!

In the bad old days, directional cables actual did something... the ground shield was only connected at the source end, helping to avoid picking up any hum or interference through the shield. With digital, this is pretty much a non issue.

Don't even get me started on audiophiles.

CD quality is as good as the human ear can hear, this has been demonstrated with several double blind studies using a variety of equipment, yet audiophiles (including Steve Jobs) are convinced that "high definition" audio is real.
