1. The Internet Troll - the Dark Side of Technology
A real live internet troll in its natural environment! They really DO live under bridges! Okay, okay, this is a photo composite (obviously). I encourage you to click the image to view large and see the details. ;)
2. First World Problems
We've all been here, right? There's nothing more aggravating than tangled earbud cords, but if you think about it, how amazing is it that headphone cords can become hopelessly tangled in mere seconds if you happen to look at them the wrong way? If we could unlock the science behind tangled wires, maybe we could put this frustrating tendency to good use for a change...
If you're wondering: no, I never did get this untangled after I took the photo.
Lol my life changed when i got bluetooth headphones and im never looking back ever again
I hear you. ;)
The troll is awsome!!!!and your really can zoom in and see all the screens so funny :)
Hehe, thanks. I had a lot of fun making that one. ;)
I'm going to probably be the odd one out and say I'll take corded any day!! When I use to run, I remember I was so thrilled when I got my first (and only) set of bluetooth headphones. I loved the freedom they provided. I now suffer with EHS... so my life is pretty close to device free. No wifi, no bluetooth, no mobile phone and the list goes on.
I am keen to see where this technology goes and how long it will take for the dangers to come to light. Meanwhile I avoid all that I can, there's nothing worse than feeling the pain these such devices cause me. I'll take the tangles! : )
Very clever picture though!
Oh no! :\ Yes, there are definitely question marks about wireless technology. And I do like corded headphones sometimes - in fact, I really like the ones in the picture. Soon there won't be a headphone jack in our phones (Apple's already started).
Wow really... they're fazing them out! That's interesting when they say in their safety use manuals to either use the provided earphones or use speaker phone, to avoid putting the device to your head. As this technology moves ahead, more and more antennas are being put into the devices too, making the RF and risks greater. It would be interesting to read the manuals of these phones that are not supplying a jack. The best earphones to use are air tubes...
Apparently you can get a lightning to audio converter but can't charge the phone at the same time. It's an option though.
I guess they had to offer the option somehow. :\
Sounds like 3rd party companies are picking up the slack for them...

STOPthe troll triggers a few questions here.... a. who was the model? and b. how come you know so much about the M.O. of trolls? :)
a.) I'd rather not say. b.) from reading the comments under youtube videos.
reading or writing? :D
Touche.
Oh no! The second photo got me frustrated. I hate it when it happens. I some times just give up and use it tangled.
Hahaha! On the first trip to Iceland I had these earbuds on the plane. They took me (and I don't think I'm making this up) ten minutes of flight time to untangle before I could use them. I never forgot that moment, haha.
As for the troll.... justin beiber, really? Ha ha ha.
Uh huh....it's ambiguous about whether the troll is a fan of Bieber, or is posting trollish comments on Bieber's posts, or if Justin Bieber himself is the troll. I leave that to your intepretation because #art.
