Hey, does anyone have any recommendations for good noise-canceling earphones to be used with an iPod while traveling? I'm trying to cut down on having to turn it up to hear while in a plane or whatever.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This company has noise-cancelling earphones. [link] I've never used them myself, but I've used these [link] from the same company and liked them a lot. They go into your ear, blocking most external noise. I like them becaues I can actually hear my music while on the 'L' without having to crank the volume.
The Apple Store sells them....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why does Google not tell me up front when its results don't contain the term I'm searching for? I click on the link, text search the page, and nothing. Then I go back, click on "cached" to be told that it exists "only in links pointing to this page."
Well, seems my search terms only exist in links, and not in actual pages. There are only 8 to go through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And while we're talking about Google, does anyone know a way to force Google (or any search engine) to search for an official home page? Is that the kind of thing that's just going to depend on the individual site's keywords?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
AFAIK, Google doesn't rely much on keywords. It's more about how many other pages link to the site. You could try putting in the name of the company into the search box and adding ".com" after it. That often works.

Or you could tack on the word "official." That works sometimes. Er, assuming you didn't try that already.

Adding .com as a separate search term? Huh. Will give that a try. (This is largely my husband's bugaboo.)

No, I meant just appending it to the company name. It won't work all the time, but often.

Yeah, but at that point, you could just type it in the address box.
