Even better deal is a Thinkpad T42 with Ubuntu. Not as fast but works fine $340. External 250 GB HD - $90, RAM upgrade to 1.5 GB $30

yeah the headband is key --I've had the SR80s since back in 300-9 Davies Ave times so the headband is well contoured to my head, but if I ever transport the headphones in my laptop bag it gets a bit messed up and hurts for a couple days.

I'll have to give the 414 pads a try --will just have to make them a dark gray or black.

@chris
I like the Sennheiser's a lot. They're a bit comfier. The biggest improvement I ever did for the comfort though was stretching out the headband. Made a world of different if you hasn't. As far as the sound of the 414's go, I haven't really done a double blind test or anything, but they feel a little less bassy. Not significant enough for me to go back to the original pads.

How do you like the Sennheiser earpads? I don't mind the Grado pads most of the time.. but when they hurt, they hurt. From the photos I've seen of the 414 pads with reverse quarter mod, the pads are a lot thinner than the Grado pads, are the drivers close enough to the ears to cause a change in the sound?

Re: Why Apple Will NEVER Support Blu-Ray

Mike — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:22:42 -0000

@Cheston That's true about the Xbox. I was considering mentioning it in my post.

Sadly, I don't think there will be any consumer demand for Blu-Ray until the prices on the media go down and Apple/MS/whomever keeps it away from their systems. Also, the user experience for playing Blu-Ray is pretty awful from a user standpoint, at least on a PC.

Re: Why Apple Will NEVER Support Blu-Ray

Cheston — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:00:13 -0000

Pretty much the same reason Microsoft will not include a blu-ray player add-on for the Xbox 360. They both desire to derive more revenue through their respective online stores. Though I do think Apple will eventually succumb to consumer pressure if/when blu-ray takes off in the mainstream.

I was indeed guilty of searching lolrus as to find out what in the world they are (since lolcats are much more popular in demand).
Besides the point, I think that your blog is rather interesting. It's definitely something I'd check once in a while for cool tips.

Re: Color Management Nightmare

Lolrus Hunter — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:07:07 -0000

I ran into this same problem, but I was using JPGs. I've forgotten a lot of what I discovered back then, but it was an issue with Internet Explorer's rendering colors differently than Firefox and Opera. Unfortunately, I can't say with certainty how that relates Safari but it sounds like a similar issue.

This was actually a cool post, Pinksock. Nice compilation, and definitely gave me some ideas for places to try - like Piatza's on Park Ave.

Thanks for the post!

Good article. Combine this with a script to automatically translate the text with google and you can be ever lazier: (uses cURL)
LANGPAIR="de|en" USERAGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a7pre) Gecko/200707250303 Firefox/3.0a7pre" for f in *.[tT][iI][Ff]*; do out=`echo $f | sed 's/\\.[tT][iI][fF].*//'` /usr/local/bin/tesseract $f $out -l deu curl -s -d "text=`cat $out`" -d "hl=en" -d "langpair=$LANGPAIR" -d "ie=UTF-8" -d "oe=UTF-8" -A "$USERAGENT" http://translate.google.com/tr... | grep -oP '(?).*?(?=)' > $out done
This might be problematic in some cases with UTF though, its probably is very dependant on your shell.
