Audiophile Headphone Testing – Second Day of Testing at Jaben Audio

Comments 04 July 2010

Went down for the second time to Jaben Audio at the Adelphi. Basically I’m looking to purchase a nice pair of headphones and a suitable amplifier for my university tenure. Having come from a very decent speaker set up (Bowers and Wilkins 803S), i do not, and probably cannot expect to be able to replicate that familiar [...]

Riding with the King: Clapton wants a Ferrari 458 Italia… with a V12 — Autoblog

Comments 04 July 2010

The Ferrari 458 is already a pretty zippy car, yet Ferrari has agreed to shovel the much larger Enzo-derived V12 from the 599 into its engine bay. Apparently, one can’t just be any megastar, in order to have a bespoke Ferrari. Your career has to be game-changing and soulful, thereby eliminating Beavers, Britneys and Cyruses. And as [...]

Comments 27 June 2010

One of my students has just gotten an iPhone 4 from London and thought i’d share pictures i snapped earlier this afternoon. It feels quite solid, slightly narrower, with crisp, metallic edges. However i prefer the curved backplate on the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The screen’s brilliant, and am looking forward to that when i do get [...]

Tip – Evernote Hierarchical Folders Workaround

Comments 26 June 2010

Evernote’s abject lack of hierarchical folders and the inability to order them other than alphabetically has been the biggest sticking point in my usage of its software and service thus far. I’ve tonnes of tags and have given up manually tagging every single article – OCD me hates leaving out tags, considering that Evernote is a [...]

“Login” is not a verb

Comments 22 June 2010

“Login” is not a verb. This site graciously explains a grammatical error we commonly encounter nowadays knowingly or not!

Comments 07 June 2010

Google walk woman’s legal action – Autocar.co.uk. I reckon that unfortunately this incredulous incident will hurt google more than it does the lady in the long run. So much for being the ‘competent adult’… A woman who was hit by a car after walking on a highway in Los Angeles is suing Google. Lauren Rosenberg claims she looked [...]
