Oh, well perhaps helloUser can enlighten us then. Please, wow us with your Beatmatching Badassness. Tell us why this is better or worse than Torq or Serato, or why it doesn't hold a candle to a pair of 12s with 680s and some nice felt slips.
I guarantee you the firm would not take the case if they felt it had no merit. Psystar's pockets aren't deep enough to sustain a long, drawn-out process and the firm wouldn't risk thousands of unpaid billable hours and the potential hit to its reputation as "Apple Killer" based on the promise of a large retainer alone. Both Psystar and the firm have something to protect.
OK, aside from all the ridiculous cries of "it's ugly", does anyone actually own one of these? Are they really that noisy?
What he said, except I skip step 3. And for my kids' room, I only do step one and use DVDPedia to handle the library, which streams off of a 3-year-old 1.5TB Infrant NAS. It's so easy, my 3-year-old can access all the ripped movies in our collection.
That test Jeff mentions HAS been done. An engineer from one of the most respected studio designers in LA, Vertigo Recording Services (they do systems integration and wiring, not architectural) did that very test some years ago. I'm sure you can guess the results. Personally, I just go to PacRad and buy the spooled Marshal SoundRunner speaker cable for cheap.
It's called marketing. Everyone with any knowledge on the subject knows that Jeep and Land Rover make some of the worst vehicles around, but they are both doing well.
Yes, it's been done with engineers. I was included. The test, as I said, was not meant for public consumption, more for our own use. At the time, Monster was making a big push into the pro audio market but none of us were convinced they were anywhere near as good as Mogami or Canare or the like. Turns out hey weren't. I will say this: I do have some Monster TT patch cables that I still use. They are OK, but man they fall apart after a while. Not like Mogami patch cables that last forever.
"Guess what, the factory that makes those $500 bags also makes the $30 bags sold at Target out of the same materials. "

This actually completely false.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
