Here we are much later. Not having a headphone jack is still really stupid. Having to use a dongle for headphones is still an inconvenience that detracts from the experience. Every set of truly wireless bluetooth earbuds on the market is me

Its terrible for the consumer. Instead of a thousand affordable options for whatever kind of headphone you want, there are far fewer options and even expensive wireless earbuds/headphones suffer from latency, making them almost worthle

I have a lot of quasi-libertarian beliefs. However, if you read up on the history of capitalism in America and how poor and middle-class people have been manipulated, mistreated, and oppressed by rich landowners and large corporations since

That might be the point. I didn't make it that far because after what seemed like 60 pages of the author talking about how he's naturally a world class performer at pretty much everything he's ever tried to do in his entire l

For me it's going from knowing the syntax of a language to actually designing and building something useful. No one really gets this right as far as I can tell. I can solve lots of stupid little puzzles in several languages but when it

As far as listening to music and determining there is something wrong with it because you noticed a 5ms difference, I find that hard to believe. However, when given samples of audio with no delay and a 5ms delay. I, with no special talent a

He was unusually kind when he got to Savannah. He burned a lot of stuff on the way though. Not sure if any of those places were of significance. He also destroyed some stuff in SC afterwards.
