Why is it that after so many years, BT audio still stutters and jumps sometimes?
I have experienced this problem across all the different devices and headphones I have owned over the years. It doesn't seem to matter how high end the devices are, this problem eventually crops up from time-to-time. It normally can be fixed by turning off wifi on the device, but that doesn't always do it.
This problem seems to rear its head more often when I am around other people (public transit, restaurants, office buildings, etc) which leads me to believe it is an interference problem.
If that is true then the increased range and speed might solve it, right? But if everyone has higher power BT signals wouldn't the interference be worse?
Everyone hates the RIAA, but the fact is without the marketing by these entities you would never have found your "favorite" bands
I disagree.
While it may be true that you may be initially steered in the general direction of good music, you rarely ever hear good music in places where big budget marketing is.
For example, I heard Metallica on the radio when I was young and I liked it. But then my own research led to Megadeth which led to metal shows where I learned about bands like Fear Factory which led to euro metal like In Flames which led to other record labels like Century Media and Nuclear Blast records and all of those artists, etc, etc.
While it is impossible for me to know for sure, I would like to believe that the RIAA had nothing to do with my music listening evolution. At the very least, they haven't received any money from me in quite a long time as I buy directly from the artist, from emusic.com or by just browsing the second hand CDs at the local shop.
My fellow metal brother, I am with you. I was known in high school as the fat shy kid who wore the big (circumaural) headphones all the time. I was in my own world.
Now, after many earplug-free concerts and a lot more maximum volume listening, I too have some issues hearing people.
I also continue to listen to Megadeth... though my tastes have shifted more toward the prog metal (mostly European) genres.
Well, to be fair, this is about working within the capitalist system. We don't have ubiquitous green power plants right now. We have a lot of coal and gas powered utilities today.
But how do we get to a point where it is more economical to build a green power plant instead of a "dirty" one? One way is government subsidy, which is sort of happening. Another way is to make green power plants actually cheaper. How do we do that though if "dirty" power is cheaper? You get some major players like Google to prop up the market and start to drive money into the industry. Over time, this will help create more competition and spur a healthy capitalist-derived solution to the problem.
Yeah, it's like planting a tree to offset a tree getting cut down... it's not quite the same thing but the end result, the part that matters, is pretty much the same.
Because Google is buying all this renewable energy, it is adding to the market for renewable energy, which in turn drives competition for renewable energy companies, etc, etc.
I do remember claiming an exempt status on my taxes one year because I was a full time student and had no income. It was right on the 1040 form which is how I knew to claim it...
If that was wrong, I have never heard about it from the IRS...
Nevermind that their entire success is dependent upon everyone from the mailroom employees to the sales staff... I don't quite understand how people at the top lose sight of this all the time. If, tomorrow, every one of their employees quit, the CEO would be SOL...
People are the foundation everybody's business. You may be the head, but that only means you are standing on the shoulders of everyone else.
Pretty sure they already do... well, at least construction equipment, which, I would think, would have to be even higher quality and adhere to way more regulations than a consumer grade car.

Not sure that I am super pleased about the MS takeover but I am certainly glad it wasn't Salesforce...

I guess just wait and see...
I am pretty sure that Nuclear Blast was acquired at some point then. When I discovered it, they didn't even have an office in the US.
So... if that is possible, why would any company choose to acquire the debts and obligations of the company they are purchasing?

Do you normally talk to the person within arm's reach on your telephone?
This is exactly what I was going to say.
"additional diagnostic capability" == "telemetry"
Ok for anyone except Microsoft.
Is the evolution of the word "smart" complete yet?
No, not until it is common to use they term thusly:
"My son is so smart, he failed gym class"
This is usually my initial reaction as well. However, then I think about how this might be handy for someone who is blind.
Just because *I* think it seems silly, doesn't mean there isn't someone who might find it useful.

so.... business as usual since the beginning of business...

Why would you throw out a perfectly good TV just because there is something better on the market?
Oh... looks like the independent lab has shown that the TV is better than mine... time to throw my TV in the garbage...

I thought they went out of business because the market for Twinkies wasn't paying their bills anymore.

Where did this ACA tie come from?
Robots don't need Tide detergent, Kellogs corn flakes, Michael Bay movies, or Samsung TV's.
I would say that nobody needs any of those things actually...
And you typically don't want to be caught watching a game that has already been decided
Yeah, those sports police are real ball busters...
No, I don't remember that.
Apple has never invented anything. They take something that is already on the market and make it sleeker, flashier and easier to use.
Pretty sure they already do... well, at least construction equipment, which, I would think, would have to be even higher quality and adhere to way more regulations than a consumer grade car.
