    I am having waaaay to much fun watching Boston lose. Get em, bulls!

    Game 5 is a must win for the Bulls. Even then, it will be tough. But still nice to see them hang in there this far.

    Guy is in late spring competition season, takes a break to visit home, goes on a short bike ride to stretch the legs, gets run over by a van. Sucks. When your ticket is up, it is up. Scarponi was well liked and appreciated by his peers. It is a great loss for his team and the pro-cycling circuit. The pictures with his kids are quite sad in the light of his demise

    Man, that's really rough. RIP, young man. You did so exceptionally well in your time here.

    Keep living guys. You never know when your number will come up.

    A bit of what everyone else said. An RIP to Bill O'Reilly at Fox though I'm sure he'll keep doing what he's doing somewhere else, a preemptive RIP to his replacement Tucker given his track record, an RIP to progress in America, and finally, somewhat of a counter troll to Wayne given his 15 right wing troll posts per day on Facebook

    Not 15, just 2 or 3 well selected ones. Makes up for all of the trolling you guys do here.

    I did notice the smaller stage when i first had the headphones but i don't anymore, not sure what changed.

    You probably quit listening to the headphones and started listening to the music again. Happens all the time with me when I begin to settle in with new gear and forget about the need to analyze it all the time.

  5. The potentially good news is that the electronics division/brand/stuff will no doubt be spun off in a reorganization (if they can get away with it) or more likely sold to another large tech company prior to dragging those assets into an all out bankruptcy. More cash flow for their shareholders that way, as opposed to a slow, piecemeal and court controlled asset sell off. So hopefully that will mean better products and lower prices to the end consumer of whatever company can pick up their assets and technology on the cheap.

  6. Death of my brackets! Oregon outplayed and definitely outshot Kansas tonight. My Final 4 is gone. Only guessed 1 game right in the First 4, then got 24 in the first round, 10 out of the Sweet 16, and 4 out of the Elite 8. That's 39 in total. I've done better and I've done worse.

    And down goes Nova!

    I've still got all my elite 8 alive, but that can change quickly.

    The Northwestern love was nice while it lasted. They have zero chance against this Gonzaga team.

    Zero is being kind.

    I picked Wisconsin, and in fact having them winning the next game as well, but Duke going to the Final 4. Actually, looking at Dave's brackets above, my East is identical to his.

  8. I just stumbled across the HD800 pricing on Amazon, quite by accident, and was surprised that they're now a $1,000 pair of headphones:

    https://smile.amazon.com/Sennheiser-800-Reference-Dynamic-Headphone/dp/B001OTZ8DA/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_cp_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001OTZ8DA&pd_rd_r=MA8B1CMNN9HTH2J6F13X&pd_rd_w=0JfnY&pd_rd_wg=9fxIy&psc=1&refRID=MA8B1CMNN9HTH2J6F13X

    Guess I've paid very little attention to the entire HD800 S thing and had no sense that the tweaked model had devalued the original so dramatically. Or I guess, maybe that's just where the HD800 lines up now on a competitive basis with all of the new entries to the flied since 2009.
