    Sleep Number Considered Integrating Audio Snoring Detection Technology into Beds

    Don't forget UARS too. Plenty of people don't have apnea, but have breathing problems affecting sleep, and when they get their airway treated it leads to a lot of improvements in health issues that seemed unrelated in the public mind. It's become a really hot topic in dentistry because dentists...

    Having a Problem with my SoundCard (Asus Xonar STX)

    Update: I believe I've solved it. I came across this post: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1944476/asus-xonar-essence-stx-sound.html PastaActual said: "Solved: My sleeved MOLEX connector came undone and couldn't deliver power to amp. Reconnected power and everything runs fine.". So I...

    Having a Problem with my SoundCard (Asus Xonar STX)

    No. There is no longer any audible click when I switch from analog to SPDIF. Also click on boot up that I'd usually hear isn't there anymore either. If the relay has failed, do you know if there is a way to repair it?

    Having a Problem with my SoundCard (Asus Xonar STX)

    Hi, I've had an Asus Xonar STX installed on my machine for about five years now. I haven't had any problems with it until last week. I am not able to get audio any longer from my headphone output jack or the two RCA output jacks. I can get audio from the SPDIF though. I am wondering if sound...

    The Inconvenient Truth about Cancer and Mobile Phones

    I was trying to point out that people are confusing correlation with causation. In this instance, the correlation is cell phone usage seems to lead to increased cancer rates. People then jump to 'cell phones cause cancer' and try to form a hypothesis to explain this, latching on the the EMF...

    The Inconvenient Truth about Cancer and Mobile Phones

    People get caught up in trying to link correlation with causation. In reality, a presentation of symptoms/disease involves complex systems biology. You asked for evidence, and I can give some of that, but not directly linking EMF to cancer. But...the effect of cell phones usage on human behavior...

    IBM Warns of Instant Breaking of Encryption by Quantum Computers

    I'm counting on this. I encrypted some personally important files years ago, then lost the password. Hoping to eventually be able to retrieve them. At this point, it'll be a bit of a time capsule moment.

    Amazon Will Deliver Groceries to Your Car in 15 Minutes

    It's a decent idea, but honestly I've found the only way to get some fresh produce, such as Jicama, in a state worth using is to hand select it myself. Unless they find some spectacular suppliers to insure they always deliver a suitable product I don't see me changing my grocery shopping habits...

    Alcatel-Lucent Sets World Record With 10Gbps Over Copper Lines

    Fiber optic networking is superior in both bandwidth and latency. Low latency is far more important in gaming and current bandwidth plans can already provide blu-ray quality in 1080p at 10Mbps - video codecs continue to increase in efficiency; gone are the days where it takes a decade before...

    Woz To The FCC: Keep The Internet Free

    So, there's this guy that has to pay a road toll to get to the movie theater. Now imagine after he has paid that toll the entity the toll was paid to then charges the movie theater an additional fee because he used the road to get there. Further imagine, that from the toll fee alone the road...

    You Thought 4K TV Looked Real? This One Goes to 8K

    My number if bigger than yours? Personally, I'd be more impressed with a display with accurate reproduction of every color the human eye can perceive in 1080p, with headset free 3d, or even just an LCD that can match the motion fluidity and black levels of a Panasonic plasma. However...

    Dolby Bringing Surround Sound to Tablets and Smartphones

    "Dolby has found a way to ‘trick’ your brains into thinking that surround sound is possible via headphones and tablets." It's simulated surround sound; the position of the device has no bearing on the positional accuracy of the audio.

    TV Subscriptions Fall for First Time as Viewers Cut the Cord

    If the commercials on TV had any relevance to my interests then, perhaps, I wouldn't scoff at the idea of paying for a TV subscription. With Netflix, AZ Prime, and a public Library card I seem quite able to fill any free time I have. In fact, I seem to have more free time to fill than if I...
