  2. In Head-Case land, today is xand1x's birthday. Happy Birthday Token!
  3. That's really up to the individual. I used an 8.5" laptop for over 2 years, and if apple made one today, I'd buy one. The reason the sony is too small is it's more like 5". I'd check smalldog.com, and watch dealmac.com for mac deals. I'm not sure of a great source for used macs tho. If the 13" macbook isn't too big (I think it's an ok size, carries well, runs well), that'd be my go to recommendation. Enough of a recommendation that I own one, my wife owns one, my brother owns one,my sister has one, my stepmom has a macbook pro, and my other sister has an ibook. All on my recommendations...
  4. Happy Token day, birthday!
  5. batterygeeks.com macbook battery
  6. The lenovo thinkpad x-series is a contender, it's really small, but I don't know if any are available under $1k. I'll pm you a place to check. I'm guessing apple will be coming out with a smaller notebook next tuesday, but it will most definitely be over $1k. Fujitsu makes a lot of super small notebooks, as does sony. But the super small notebook is aimed at executives, so most of them are pricey. If used or refurbished is ok, check for mac powerbook g4 12", thinkpad X series, sony ux series. The UX is probably too small for major writing unless you use an external keyboard and display.
  7. My take on double blind tests is that it's easier to design a dbt for medicine than for audio. Perception is a funny thing, and the brain is a lot more sensitive a processor than it's generally given credit for. Sometimes it happens on levels you don't realize, tho, and so testing for it can be tough. Especially with things like harmonics. If someone ever designed the right test, it'd be worth discussing. 15 second clips of audio through a switch box, etc, probably aren't the right test. And the clever little clock people aren't idiots, they're geniuses. They're making a mint selling to idiots, but they're just good at marketting. I don't believe there's any way at all they believe the tripe they're selling.
  8. Yes. If he's selling snake oil, then he's probably real and denies that double blind works for healthcare.
  9. Or he's a figment of spritzer's imagination, given the complete misunderstanding of what double blind is for
  10. Congrats on making it another day Matt!

  14. There are some really good deals on 3 port hdmi switches
  15. The server code for the sb3 is a little flakey on mac. This was reason enough for me to not get one. Another alternative, as a mac user, is an appletv...it has a remote, so you can control your music even without easy access to the server.
  16. They're supposed to be pretty good, last time I checked. Brendan played for the fairbanks jr a team, and is pretty good.

  19. I've been looking for half an hour, but can't find a place to plug in the er4ps to my daughter's violin.
  20. There's no reason to buy an er4s anymore, since you can get the P->S cable and have the best of both worlds
