GADEGET MOMENT - Bluetooth (A2DP) Stereo Headsets

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a gadget, tech geek, nutter. So every now and then I'll post something tech geek-ish. Today I'm frustrated because I cannot find a Bluetooth Stereo headset or a A2DP enabled headset.

With all the brilliant people on this god forsaken planet, you'd think someone could develop an A2DP enabled headset that:

1. Works
2. Stays on your ear
3. Sounds at least decent I'm not even going for audiophile here, just a decent sound.
   
4. Isn't too clunky with a over the head band, boom mic, princess Lea ear muffs, and other craziness.
   
5. Has a good fit or in ear gels for comfort and noise canceling and sound enhancement
   
6. Provides Mini-usb with pc and AC charging capabilities
   
7. Connects with at least 3 devices

Instead we get, the stupidest bullshit, and most unusable money and resource wasting gadgets. For god sakes people can't a black woman get a kick ass A2DP enabled headset that fills basic usability requirements? My first attempt was the Motorola HT820. They sound OK, are huge as fuck, and hurt like a muthafucka after about 30 minutes of wear. Then I thought I'd try the Jabra BT8010. What a horror story those were. OMG, first the little fuckers won't stay on and the ear loops fall out to boot. Second, the sound is o.k. but they hurt like hell.

Right now I'm looking @ the Motorola S9 or the Sony HBH-DS980 or what ever the model number is. Any of you want to help me pick, chime in.

Whenever politics pisses me off and I need something to do I'll always head back to my first love. GADGETS.

FT.Com - America’s economy risks mother of all meltdowns

Recently, Professor Roubini’s scenarios have been dire enough to make the flesh creep. But his thinking deserves to be taken seriously. He first predicted a US recession in July 2006*. At that time, his view was extremely controversial. It is so no longer. Now he states that there is “a rising probability of a ‘catastrophic’ financial and economic outcome”**. The characteristics of this scenario are, he argues: “A vicious circle where a deep recession makes the financial losses more severe and where, in turn, large and growing financial losses and a financial meltdown make the recession even more severe.”

Prof Roubini is even fonder of lists than I am. Here are his 12 – yes, 12 – steps to financial disaster.

DemocraticUnderground brings out the Freeper in 'Liberals"

Whenever I visit DemocraticUnderground I am struck by the realization that DU and FreeRepublic are basically the same in attitude and different in ideology. What I've noticed is that the term Liberal which has morphed now to the term Progressive doesn't mean love others and peace anymore, it basically means be a hateful, angry, asshole who calls themselves a Liberal. I guess from their point of view being an angry asshole workded for the Freepers, why not give that shit a try,

That's how I see it. DU is the home of the asshole wing of the progressive ideology and FreeRepublic is the home of the asshole wing of the neo-con movement. Where DU has FreeRepublic in spades is the fact that DU looks WAY better and it is more user friendly, PLUS it has that cool Latest Breaking News section.

I would say that DUers appear to be more intelligent and less irrational but this primary season shows it not to be true.

DU has been forever harmed by this primary season and I blame all the assholes who posted fucked up shit in General Discussion-Primaries.

I will say one thing though, the DU Hillary Hate is one thing Progressives and Freepers have in common. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Is Obama's media affair ending?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Barack Obama, the wunderkind of US politics, has long basked in adulatory press coverage for his historic White House bid -- but a media backlash appears to be building.

Hillary Clinton, Obama's bitter rival for the Democrats' presidential nomination, has long complained that the young Illinois senator is getting a free ride from journalists in thrall to his promise of change.

"Obama is the new story this year and reporters love novel plotlines," said Darrell West, a political scientist and media expert at Brown University in Rhode Island.

"But as it gets closer to the nomination, there is going to be more scrutiny of him. Reporters are going to examine his statements, his votes and his background," he told AFP.

Some Obama supporters fret already that his campaign has the trappings of a messianic cult, as thousands upon thousands pack auditoriums to bask in his uplifting oratory.

"Obamaphilia has gotten creepy," Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein wrote. "The best we Obamaphiles can do is to refrain from embarrassing ourselves."
