I've used toilets from the 1950's from the looks of it. These toilets still take about 2-5 seconds to flush once the water drops to a level where the floater can...well float. Again nowhere near the 10 seconds or so suggested by the article. But lets be honest here. Its a blog. Which was probably written in aprox the same amount of time it takes to flush a faulty toilet, so I'm not suprised that there are exaggerations in it. Engadget's bloggers have a solid history of pulling stuff out of....thin air for their posts. *shrugs* Whatever.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
