    It would have helped if the lead story had actually said what this thing is that it was promoting. I had visions of some kind of headset with electromagnetic neurocouplers to bypass my (damaged) ears.

    Instead, it's just some damn car accessory, and I don't even have a car (or an iPod, for that matter.)

  2. Restores audio quality? by cft_128 · · Score: 4, Funny
    From the article:
    The great news is that 2004 Alpine Ai-NET head units are equipped with a proprietary technology which enhances sound quality and restores lost detail to compressed digital media.
    What magic are they working here? Just some goofy equalizer presets? Use tachyon fields to make out the quantum temporal disturbances to restore previously lost detail?
