Here is a letter home from a Marine in Iraq. Pretty good read.

This is great. Found it on Fark. Battle of the album covers video.

If anyone needs (or just wants) an iPod go to the Apple Store. You can get a new 2gig nano for $99. Or a 30 gig 5.0 ("video") for $179.

HERE are some tube driven speakers for that iPod. I thought audiophiles were too pretentious to use iPods. Whatever..

Are people REALLY THIS FRIGGIN STUPID?

MIT Geeks are cool. Here is a very impressive and kind of silly demo of some new technology.

Heh, Fly by Night owl eye lasers!
$350 ain't audiophile territory.
USB grill. Didn't you see the DVD rewinder? Luckily, they are selling it as a joke item.
The MIT thing is fucking incredible.
Wait, I need to restate that. $350 is in audiophile territory if you're selling an LP cleaning cloth or power cable. Just not for speakers.
not the price of the player. But the fact that it is tube driven. That is what puts it into audophile territory to me.
I'd swap out the Sovtek with a JJ/Tesla but there's not that much to chose from for manufacturers. No matter if you shove the signal through a valve the rectifier's still a transistor so woop-de-doo. At least with an instrument it's analog-valve-digital. iPod-valve-digital you're still shoving a 'compromised' signal through a valve. Marketing genius in the style of P.T. Barnum none-the-less.
