  1. http://www.twitvid.com/6SWN3 Android's Gingerbread finagled onto iPhone ? The Register
  2. from I Am Bored - Sites for when you're bored.
  3. Discovered that there is a free In-N-Out App : In-N-Out for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store And for the benefit of Justin and others, if you ask for directions from SFO ( to the closest In-N-Out in Millbrae, via google directions) step 3 is Take exit 420 for Millbrae Ave How appropriate
  4. Felt a discrete seismic event (4.1) , that was ~67 miles away. Magnitude 4.1 - NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Nice waveforms! : WAVEFORMS FOR EVENT ID=71506865 A coworker calmed us all down, by saying don't worry, it felt more like a pre-shock (meaning the the bigger one is yet to come)
  5. ^ Thats not my port wine
  6. One for Mike from: Doctor Who and the Stig become public speakers ? reghardware
  7. Apple unwraps app store for proper computers ? The Register Mac App Store: initial impressions

  9. Yeah, its all about CES. Any AVN/AEE news? Welcome to AEE 2011 | AdultEntertainmentExpo - Show
  10. Or a Door, or the body shell All About Cars: The world's biggest subwoofer Unfortunately, Tim and his crew didn't realize just how much acoustical power the sub could generate, and didn't build the vehicle to contain it appropriately. Even at less than 1/2 output, the doors were blown off the tracks, and the entire vehicle ballooned in and out several inches. The woofer was installed in the "bread truck" anyway, and it went to Finals not fully tested.
  11. Ref. System needs MOAR BASS!
  12. Factiod: Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to back up The Wire: The Complete Series (all 23 Discs) as ISO images, they would occupy ~120GB on a hard drive

  14. My $.02 Transports: Real Time error prone reading of physical media by optical means (That's Shiny Platters to you) vs "Computer Based" HD / SSD sourced bits. Any system that cannot reliably output the sourced input bits is broken by definition. It either works perfectly or it fails. How would you feel if your bank only accepted some of the bits of your paycheck? The HDCD light test is a good test for bit-perfectness. A decent transport should deliver the right bits at the right time. This is where we get into jitter. Lots has been said on this, but recovering an invariant clock from a push based protocol with no error correction / retransmit control seems somewhat backwards compared to a local clock based pull protocol - but thats hard to do with unbuffered real-time reading Does any of this make a difference. Bit correctness: Yes - its either right or wrong. Jitter: Possibly - If you can't correctly differentiate transports to a statistically significant degree - then by definition its imperceptible to you. Save your money and be happy. If you can, then you have your answer. If you are undecided, and want confirmation of your biases, we''re here to help. If you want an objective measure of output differences may I suggest Audio DiffMaker Other people have suggested perception is reality, and there are many, many things that alter perception. You might enjoy some of them. Final words: Whatever makes you happy. Me? I'd be happy with some Kaizen, so we end up with demonstrably "better" products at lower prices over time. How hard could it be. Look at what Moore's law has done to your 'phone. I live in hope.
  15. Happy Birthday x2 !
  16. Have iPeng + iPeng HD. They work well as controller UI's. Squeezecast for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store works well as a player you can run in the background (which then means the iTouch / Pico Slim / JH13's combo is a mobile streaming client within wi-fi range of your server) Squeezey for iPad on the iTunes App Store is another client that's been mentioned. The Author of iPeng has hinted at possible integrated playback at some unspecified point in the future. When its ready.
  17. How does it work against Stigs?
  18. Expecting Zombies? Looks a bit stock. Could do with a few mods
  19. Expecting Zombies?
  20. Apple will always be cool. We've always been at war with Eastasia.
  21. Happy Birthday Jacob, you Gastronaut, you.
  22. Double Post, for a doubly Happy Birthday!
  23. Happy Birthday! whatever you do. and remember
