    Iphone 5 and new ipod touch DAC?

    I tested the headphone-out of the iPhone 4S and 5 using the new earpods.  The mids are way more prominent on the 4S than the 5, distastefully so.  The earpods must have been designed with the iPhone 5 in mind, where the sound is much more balanced. I did the same test using the ATH-M50 and...

    Do you think this dentist is shady?

    My fiancee went to see a dentist for the first time in a long time.   Upon the first visit, the dentist asks why she hasn't gone in so long.  Is it because she's afraid of bad news or that the dentist will try to upsell her?  Well, don't worry, they assured her, they're not that dentist!  ...

    How many head-fi'ers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Originally my plan was to pull one of the bulbs out and take it to Home Depot to find a suitable replacement.  Instead I went to Home Depot and found the replacement bulbs first.  After seeing a new bulb outside of its socket, I realized where the base begins and had no trouble pulling it out...

    How many head-fi'ers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    I don't know how to remove the bulbs.  Do I just pull them out?

    How many head-fi'ers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    I know this looks bad, but I need assistance in changing some light bulbs.  These are the bulbs in question:     The bulbs have "Sylvania Dulux S" written on them, and they're 13 watt bulbs.  Has anyone changed one of these before?

    Learning Database Management and other IT/Finance-related skills

    I think searching for an entry level job in a technical field is the best way to break into database administration.  Even something like customer service for a tech company, working hard for a few months/years while learning database administration, and then applying to an opening within the...

    Learning Database Management and other IT/Finance-related skills

    For database management books, I think perhaps you should just go to Amazon and search for "database administration".  There are several kinds of databases, each with its own set of relevant books.  Maybe try this one out:  ...

    Documentary on Music Piracy

    I must reply again just to say that MrGreen's reference Kohlberg's stages of moral development (on page 5 of this thread) was superbly relevant to this discussion.  Thanks for that MrGreen.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlberg's_stages_of_moral_development

    Documentary on Music Piracy

    Quote from http://topics.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei from the United States Constitution:   My interpretation of the above clause is that government is concerned with protecting a citizen's right to their intellectual property for a limited period of time, so that they can...

    Ipad! It's here! Anyone Have it yet?

    I recently purchased an iPad for my fiancée, as a gift, which I'm currently browsing and typing on. As a preface, occupationally, I'm a developer, so I tend to approach things from a technical perspective. The iPad removes the overhead of using a laptop or computer. You are not...

    Moving to San Francisco, good idea during economic crisis?

    I've only sent out resumes to a couple of places on sfbay.craigslist.org. However, I've gotten no replies back so far. But truthfully I'm probably not trying as hard as I should be, given the economic conditions. If it helps, this news article is the one that alarmed me to California's budget...

    I'm in software development. She has a job guaranteed for her in San Francisco. I hope that makes things more clear. Thanks for the replies so far, I appreciate your advice.

    Moving to San Francisco, good idea during economic crisis?

    Hey all, I'm just looking for a little bit of advice. My fiancee wants to move to San Francisco to pursue professional aspirations. I'm inclined to follow, but am a little bit unsure given the state budget crisis in parallel with the national recession. If you lived in Seattle with a...
