Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha.

Hee.

Also, heh, everyone should buy monster cables.

Our wings are not tired

Years ago the AES (audio engineering society) did a speaker cable shoot out. It was a blind test. The winner? A set of jumper cables pulled from someone's car. More copper sounds better.

Are you ready to be strong?

I'm gonna download an RSS aggregator/browser. I'm on a Mac. Which one should I get?

Hey. New board.

Hmm. I think NetNewsWire Lite is the most popular one. Me, I like the interface of Newsfire more, though I've had some stability issues (that may be corrected by now, I've not used it for a while as I've mostly switched to Livejournal feeds and read things on my friends page.)

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Anyone mentioned the new Yamaha 42-channel/speaker doodad?

I don't know about Jess, but I'm bookmarking it.

Funny because I marked ND's post then read this one next.

I use the web-based Bloglines and love it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

iPod devotees rocked by thefts

(Washington Post article on the MSNBC site, so no login required.)

Apparantly iPod theft is way up - don't know if that just a DC problem or nationwide. Thieves used to ignore iPods, but now people who fence stolen goods have found a market for stolen iPods, which is responsible for the recent upswing of iPod iTheft.

The article mostly foucuses on how traumatic it is to have one's iPod iStolen.

(iSorry.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oh. Please.

"Everybody has a lot of memories they associate with music, and musical taste is usually very important to people," said Anita Boss, a forensic psychologist in Alexandria who has counseled crime victims. "You actually have a piece of identity theft here."

She added: "Anytime something is stolen that is so personal, victims are going to have a reaction like that. It's not the same as stealing a coat."

See? Even a fucking forensic psychologist says so. You're not doubting a forensic psychologist, are you?
