Adding .com as a separate search term?
No, I meant just appending it to the company name. It won't work all the time, but often.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

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!

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, but at that point, you could just type it in the address box.

Katie, Consuela was looking to sell a slightly-used pair of those very earphones a month or two ago. You might check to see if she still has them and would be willing to part with them for a very reasonable price.

As much as I dislike Bose one of the only things they make that is worth buying is noise cancelling headphones. They are expensive but they tend to be worth it and actually perform much better than the competiton.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

quality? price? service? silly hype?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Here's a page about Bose that goes into way too much detail: [link]

Thanks, Tom -- this is good to know. (My work involves handling loads of fairly low-quality audio, but as a certified tin ear, I never quite know what to say when clients ask for advice about higher-end (or "higher-end") stuff.)

Two catchphrases in the pro audio world that are applied to Bose.
"Bose: Better sound through marketing" and "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."
They do make a nice clock radio though.

If you have $500 to drop on a clock radio, I guess...
(sorta suspected that was what it came down to, but it's good to know from people who have a clue. thanks!)

Good to know. I apparently have fallen for the marketing because I had the impression that Bose makes high quality audio stuff, even though I don't have any first hand experience with it. Oh well, I'm not their market anyhow.
