Universal Earphones: Earphones with Automatic Side and Shared Use Detection on Vimeo
the amazing thing with this video is the use of digital voice because the person is not comfortable with English.Universal earphones automatically detect the left and right sides of the ears and provide stereo audio to the most suitable side. The earphones also support detection when a single set of earphones is being shared by two people and provide mixed stereo sound to both earphones.

The end of social - O'Reilly Radar
Automated sharing is giving Facebook a treasure-trove of data, regardless of whether anyone cares. And Facebook will certainly find ways to monetize that data. But the bigger question is whether, by making sharing the default, we are looking at the end of social networks altogether. If a song is shared on Facebook and nobody listens to it, does it make a sound?

Seth's Blog: Really Bad Powerpoint
by oseres & 1 other
No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.
No cheesy images. Use professional stock photo images.
No dissolves, spins or other transitions.
Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never use the sound effects that are built in to the program. Instead, rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have. If people start bouncing up and down to the Grateful Dead, you’ve kept them from falling asleep, and you’ve reminded them that this isn’t a typical meeting you’re running.
Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They don’t work without you there.

If giant squid monsters ever attack, we can defend ourselves with sound

"Sure, nothing is after us right now, but if any io9ers are heading through a squid-infested part of the ocean, bring a boombox."
Il faudra que je dise au voisin que ça ne sert à rien de mettre les basses au max dans sa voiture alors.

The fruits that can’t be held « Dokodemo Diary
by Takwann
“(When you are silent,) you see it” or “You find it”.
What struck me was that this “it” made it sound like a person experiences or practices silence and the result is immediate or even immediately visible. Of course, I think that it’s presumed by the speaker that it isn’t actually so simple. It’s just that the language is not sufficient so we rely on the presumption that the listener understands that there’s more beyond the words. Two things come up for me: one is the use and handling of form, in this case words or language; the other is the tendency, or danger, for people to not notice that they are handling a form at all.

Scott Adams Blog: Two Conspiracy Theories 12/02/2010
by jeanruaud
I'm a fan of conspiracy theories. I'm fascinated by the fact that any wild story can be engineered to sound feasible to some portion of the public. Let's call this the ordinary kind of conspiracy theory, such as the idea that a small group of rich people are secretly running the world, or that aliens are abducting people and implanting chips in their necks. These conspiracy theories are hugely unlikely by their nature.
But there's another category of conspiracy theory that is way cooler. These are the theories that are far more likely to be true than not, although no smoking gun has been found. I give you today, two conspiracy theories of my own design. I'm not saying these are true. I'm just saying they are far more likely to be true than false. We'll probably never know.
