Making Earbuds That Fit (Video)
Decibullz creator Kyle Kirkpatrick talks as fast as an old-time carnival barker and is as enthusiastic about his product as Dr. Ironbeard was about his potions. A lot of people are probably satisfied with $10 earbuds, but it's kind of a cool (more accurately a warm) idea to have earbuds you can heat in your microwave, then shape and reshape as often as you like to fit perfectly in your ears.They're just one of many interesting items on display this year at CES (annoying sound if you click the "CES" link).
You little pissant. Do you think that your whining and complaining matters to us? Becoming a multimedia site is the next natural step in Slashdot's evolution, and naturally there will be crybabies like you who will need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the next iteration.
Who do you think you are to boss us around? You will continue to read and post on this site, and that's the way it's gonna be. Slashdot is and has always been a vanity project, and the editors have full control over the subject matter, moderation, and posting. We could literally shit in a shovel and thrust it toward your mouth, and you will willingly open your mouth and gobble down whatever we choose to shove in it.
Such arrogance, coming from a little man such as yourself. Don't get all uppity with your 5-digit ID, you know there are plenty out there with 3, 2, even -digit IDs still posting on this site without complaint. You are not special. You are merely a product helping us sell products. You have been monetized and in return you may be given a few mod points if we are feeling charitable. However, we will no longer tolerate such nonsense from little people. Your moderation and posting privileges have been revoked permanently. If you recant and play nice, however, we may let you post once every 24 hours. You will come crawling back, your kind always do.
