  1. It may not have all the functionality you want, but have you tried Google Apps (either through MobileSafari or thru Calendar.app sync with your desktop)?

    With Google Apps free (along with Flickr or Picassa Web and maybe a free file hosting service) I don't see the point of Mobile Me for most average users. Hell, I'm an Apple fan, but Google Apps and one of the photo hosting sites gives you more functionality and there's reasonable iPhone support (a lot of Googlers have one). ;)

  2. It's easy to make Grados comfortable. Just have the new guy wear them for a couple of months. Then the headband will be stretched out enough that the clamping force will be greatly reduced. It worked really well for my HP2. Of course, if you have a big head you're on your own. ;D
    My guess is for the majority clamping isn't really the comfort issue.

    The foam. The foam.

  3. I don't like them but blessingx did at some point on some Grados if I am remembering correctly.

    Yeah, I had them on the HF1s. It's really a comfort and soundstage versus more balanced (for a Grado anyway) sound choice. Things were more distant and blurred (or at least dulled) a bit. In comparison with other phones it's not a crazy difference and I went back and fourth, for usually large chunks of time, but if I did it all over again I'd avoid them. There are of course other mod options, but I'm not sure any avoids a SQ sacrifice. In the end I'd probably suggest a different phone if comfort is an issue.

  4. there aren't a lot of people more worthless than professional art critics.
    I dunno. I think critics get a bad rap. Most people find emerging artists through them directly or indirectly.

  5. As a followup to the last pages discussions, per a suggestion by Salt Peanuts I picked up an Belken AC powered Firewire hub. Unfortunately, this doesn't help us first gen MacBooks owners, as the fan slowly climbs as normal to hold at max. It was worth a try though. Thanks again for the idea SP. Interesting the AC is powering the Duet somewhat as the light comes on on it when plugged into the hub and not the MacBook. However this complicates things further. When then plugging into the MacBook it doesn't 'jumpstart' the Duet. It stays semi-alive (lit up, but not functioning). The Duet must be disconnected/connected between the hub and itself to work normally.

    On the positive side of things I also picked up a couple of these Sewell Firewire Extenders. For anyone that needs to move the Duet and extend the digital signal to minimize the analog one, these work quite well. Maybe this will help me in situations where I'm not next to the laptop fans. ;)

    And for those wondering, no I didn't use the latter when testing the former.
