Open floor plans should be killed with fire — or sound

The open office floor plan is kind of like socialism. It sounds utopian in theory, but in practice leads to a lot of pain and suffering. Yet, there will always be those dreamers who read Karl Marx’s, or in this case Frank Lloyd Wrights’, vision and say – could we do it better? Could we be the ones who will usher in the open office utopia? Who came up with this horrible idea? In the early 20th century, just as socialism transformed into its particularly virulent form, communism, and preparing to take over half the world, Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank… This story continues at The Next Web дальше »

Sol Republic’s expensive-sounding earbuds are exciting, but flawed

Even after testing several pairs of true wireless earbuds over the past couple of years, I haven’t yet come across a set that’s truly blown me away with its performance. That’s not surprising, given that it’s awfully hard to deliver great sound while also maintaining a solid wireless connection and running for hours with teeny-tiny batteries. дальше »

Researchers paid people to talk to themselves so AI will sound less dumb

A team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh developed a novel method for teaching AI to respond to queries in a more conversational manner: They paid people to talk to themselves. It turns out that paying one person to pretend to be two people is a cost-effective way of training an AI to recognize natural human language. дальше »

Hooking up brains to machines could be the ‘next big thing’ for gaming

It may sound like science fiction, but brain-machine interfaces (BMI) will eventually come to our devices. It’s just a matter of time.

I found a great pair of noise-canceling headphones under $50 — your ears will thank me

The older I get, the more I appreciate noise-canceling (NC) headphones and earphones. And the more I use them, the more I wonder why I hadn’t hopped on this tech earlier. Being able to go into quiet mode at the flip of a switch feels like a superpower, and comes in handy for everyone from students cramming for finals to old fogies like me trying to catch a nap on a plane. дальше »

Monoprice’s MP80 are $80 earbuds with tweakable sound well beyond their price class

There’s never been a better time to buy a pair of earbuds. It’s also never been more confusing. In the past few years, there has been an explosion of choice among in-ear-monitors (IEMs). It used to be that the only decent options came were expensive models from a handful of reputable audio companies, but nowadays you’ll find dozens of bang-for-your-buck options from a myriad of young brands. дальше »

I grew up in a house that shared one phone charger — and survived

Let me set the scene for you. It’s 2010, my family and I have one shared PC that takes thirty minutes to load the login page, the internet makes a weird sound when it’s switched on, all four of us in the house have a flip phone — and we share one phone charger… My parents were ahead of the curve when it came to digital paranoia and found a ‘fun’ solution to raising kids in a new and terrifying digital world — control their access to electricity. дальше »
