Quack System Upgrades

Thanks for proving my point. 

geoffkait, yup, Something IS ruining the sound in the room....

...and I'd go absolutely giddy if it was shown to be Us. *LOL*

"System would sound great if it weren't for you.  Please exit the room."

I could see a 'puter piping up with that little request in the not too distant future, what with active eq sensing programs already showing up in some devices.  Since there's already sensors for games 'n stuff that 'watch' one's moves during play, I can see where that could be tied into a system that could sense where your are in the space and adjust eq and spatial response to follow you around.  The buggers are starting to listen to us now already; what's next?  Or, perhaps the better query, what are you afraid of? ;)

"Hey, Cortana.  I feel like a bite.." *Argh!* "NO,NO, Nooo..."

Snake oiled BSOD....you, blue, and quite dead.  "Well, he asked for it."

Funny post, Jerry. What is "BSOD"?

Best,
Dave

Dave, "BSOD" applies to Windows-based computers, and stands for "Blue Screen of Death."  The blue screen + text that on many versions of Windows may appear when Windows itself has crashed, and the computer has to be rebooted.

The only product I sell that is NOT an audio product is the Mind Lamp from Psyleron, a multicolor lamp that changes color randomly according to a pseudorandom state generator in the base of the lamp. The state is generated by quantum fluctuations in the house current. The Mind Lamp was developed by a group from Princeton University’s engineering anomaly research group (PEAR). The Mind Lamp has a palette of 8 colors to chose from.

When the Mind Lamp is in an empty room the colors are displayed in a purely random sequence. What is interesting - and the reason I bring this up - is when someone is IN THE ROOM with the Mind Lamp the color selection can be influenced by the person or persons in the room. For example, if the person is intentionally thinking of the color RED, RED will be displayed by the lamp with a slightly greater probability than the random 1/8. In some cases a person can make the Mind Lamp change to the color of his choice immediately. Also of interest, when two Mind Lamps are placed in an empty room their color selection is not random, but each lamp is apparently influenced by the output of the other lamp. Dueling Mind Lamps?
