    Bloody Ebay!

    very fishy.. I would say he bidded on two items and got two of them but only wanted one. so he is trying to get rid of one of them. Even if you receive and test the player, which is fine, you cant contact him anymore because he is on the trip.. another possibility would be, he has mistaken...

    Superfi.Pro = flimsy cord?

    I have a question to ask. are the cords detachable from the phone body and interchangeable for R and L pieces? some people said if they reverse R-L, the phones would sit in their ears comfortably. so, Im wondering if you can switch the cords for this.

    Want an ATH-ES5? Think up a competition for me.

    why dont we just choose the one who has the nicest idea, to be the winner?

    Want an ATH-ES5? Think up a competition for me.

    choose a number btw 0 to 500. and let people guess your number. the one who guessed the closest to the number you picked wins the headphones. this is how I do this kind of stuff all the time. its kinda no brainer but its the easiest.

    Anyone here plays Magic The Gathering??

    I used to play with the pre-selected deck when 5th came out. then, I started to play yu-gi-oh with friends' decks. I found something very common in two of these games: someone who has lots cards usually does not play the game very well. I knew one kid, he has a huge pile of magic cards. because...

    The Tipping Thread :: How Much And Why?

    I also came from a different country where tips dont exist. I usually tip about 10~20% in restaurants, no matter how I am treated. something always bothers me. its that I dont know when to tip other than in restaurants, for delivery boys, and in hotel. but what about taxi?

    Kung Fu Hustle

    when I first watched this movie, it was in cantonese. so it was not as fun and wacky as the other stephen chow movies I have seen in mandarin. the whole story is actually the imagination of the little boy who was beat up by the old kids. audiences usually wouldnt figure that out until the end...

    Final Word: iPod comparison

    1. they are all bass shy. I cant hear a big difference between 3G and 4G. I sold my 3G before buying the 4G. without a detailed head to head comparision, its hard to tell. 2. I believe ipod mini uses the same chip as the 4G. having said that, ipod mini is just a mini version of the 4G with an...

    Terrible Apple Ipod service!!!

    most companies have this kind of policy regarding their products. at least, symantec and apple do. IMHO, although apple is kinda mean in this situation, it was her own fault. she did not read the manual carefully and did not search the internet and ask friends before calling the apple service...

    ipod Shuffle + Pimeta + X___headphone = ?

    the idea of shuffle is ultra portable.. for shuffles, amps and expensive headphones/canalphones/earbuds above the price tag of $200 are pointless, IMHO..

    Canalphone suggestion.

    e2c/e2s.. they are cheap and sound good. the sony low end earphones have harsh highs and bad mids..
