lol thanks...the colour is "Brittney Blue" I believe and the bed is just a duvet without a cover on it. It actually took me a while to put my room together

Sold my speakers last week (nothing I've heard can compare to these Grado SR80 headphones) so I took some updated pics of the setup.

There's nothing "special" about them, they're just really good quality headphones. Infact they're so good, I'm tempted to buy even better ones from Grado.

I wasn't until I got a pair of SR-80s.  Music just isn't the same :happy:

I suppose I was, but not on the scale that I am now thanks to these headphones.

One thing though; they sound so much better with an amp. My iMac has an amplified headphone socket, and it sounds much better than anything else I've hooked them up to.

Once I've got my iPod shuffle, I'm going to be buying a dedicated headphone amp and power supply for them:

Wow, that is really expensive. I really need an amp for my sennheiser hd-580s but that costs a bit too much for me right now, heh. I was hoping it would only be 150, not 300 :(. Even unamped my headphones sound so much better for music than my klipsch 2.1s with monster cables. I tried them on my receiver when I got them over 2 years ago, and they sound way better on that then on the klipschs... Maybe I will invest in some hd-680s (if they haven't been discontinued since I last shopped for headphones) and an amp instead of klipsch 5.1 ultras in the future. BTW your imac looks awesome. I can't really see it from the picture, but I am assuming you have a nice desk too :ninja: (yeah I know that considering that its not really in the oic that is a crazy question, but whatever, I am getting desperate for a new desk). Mind sharing what it is and where you got it? I am in the market for a new desk and everytime I pm someone the desk they have has been discontinued or is only available outside the usa, lol.

Heh, I have an LC III+(LC III with 33Mhz 68030) right next to me. I run NetBSD on it, it's used as a webserver, works quite well. :D

Nice iBook roadwarrior

Thanks. I love this thing. I bring it just about everywhere with me. When I'm at work, I can use it to run Remote Desktop to the Dell so I can do my newsgroup downloads (which are saved on my wife's Blue & White). Too bad the network at school has the required ports blocked, so I can't control the Dell from there.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
