Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Wow, imagine the applications. Sound proofing is great and all, but I wonder if this could be adapated for stealth technology. Just another form of energy to redirect
FAIL!
Sound is a mechanical wave not EM energy
Don't talk shit about Hall & Oates.
If light is the same kind of wave as sound (kinda similar but kinda different) that would be possible. If not, either physics need to retire already or its really not possible. And you know, "impossible is just a word" xD
@hackius
So is water.
@Hackius: There is energy in bumping and grinding, too!
they should adapt one for my wife's mouth. that should be their creative direction not stealth techology.
Sorry...Hall & Oates are great, maybe engadget needs a lil lesson in style.
I Can't Go For That
She's Gone
You Make My Dreams Come True
Kiss on my list...
and i dont even have to mention maneater or maniac....those boys can sing.
Private ears. They're listnin to you. Checking your ev'ry move.
Guitar Solo!
is it just me, or does that phrase sound like a lolcat one? :P
it would also make the mile high club that much easier! ;)
Why is it going to suddenly make you more attractive? I'm sure every one inside the plane could still hear you...
Yes, now you can moan out "who's your daddy" without worrying that 6 year old next to the bathroom will hear your partner go "you are!"
I'm pretty sure they would use this for the noise outside of the planes, not for the bathrooms..
home recording just got better (oh please, please be affordable one day...)
Lets wish it will be widely available soon at an affordable price and not requiring anything extra-ordinary :)
" "
Yeah, it works !
Read Michio Kaku's book, Physics of the Impossible. He talks about this and talks about using it with microwaves and eventually using it with light waves. It's pretty cool stuff
"I request a cone of silence"
M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E FTW!!
I can't go for that. No. No can do.
In the kitchen noone can hear you scream
Same thing goes for the hallways.
the bathroom
the bedroom
the living room
the dining room
the garage
the front steps
the list goes on...
*shuffle* *shuffle* *shuffle* *shuffle*

Forget stealth technology. This is the one remaining feature I've been waiting for Honda to put into their Odyssey Minivan. Install one of these puppies around each of the rear seats and that 8-hour drive to grandma's house suddenly got a lot shorter. Honda? Are you listening????
Nope, they don't care ;)
nope,they arent listening cause they have one of these working already.
Joshua - are we neighbors? Cause I love blasting the H&O!
- Bathroom Stalls
- Loud Flatulence
- Kathy Griffin
and MANY MORE!
I second Kathy ...and Rosie too.
can we just add Opra in there to seal the deal?
Hall & Oates > Engadget.
This sound stuff is cool and all, but I want my damn invisibility cloak!

Hey, I do like "I can't go for that", and Dary Hall and John Oates. Are you looking for bad things? Look for "brazilian rap", "pagode", "sertanejo" or "axe music" in the p2p of your prefference. Now we're talking sh1t.
Péla...
All these comments and no one has made a funny joke about the picture? C'mon guys.....
Hey, that kinda looks like my mom...leave her alone or I come kill you with Chainsaw.
Sonic crystals? You mean Chaos Emeralds?
Highest Ranked is back!
(yes, I know you can see it by clicking on the comment, its nice to see it back in the threads).
For the love of god please start putting this in cars.
I don't care if you "Got King Kong in da trunk" I don't want to listen to it!
I've just never seen that in print before, SO in my mind, I always hear it as Holland Oats, and I think, "What a dumb name for a band!"
But I love Hall & Oates! And I would blast them at 3 AM. I probably need a house built out of that stuff.

And uh, that's why I can't go for that.
If this technology come to market, and they choose to make another Get Smart Movie, they are going to have to reinvent the running "Cone of Silence" gag.
But can they come up with a material to direct fan-boi posts around me ? I could wear it everyday and never hear about iPhones or MBAs
This thread would have been completely iPhone free but then YOU brought it up. How's that for irony?
What's this Rony you speak of?
As is 'iRony'.
Is this an exciting new Apple product for pressing shirts?
Explain yourself. Where can I buy one of these?
How about Gustav Holst? Now I could go for that!
