Stop what you’re doing and watch this video right now.
Have you ever watched a news segment on a topic that is within your profession or expertise? Don’t they always get it wrong or skew things in a way that exposes the fact that the people reporting have no idea what they’re reporting on? Then you stop and think, “wait, if they get something I know about wrong, there must be an equal amount of wrongness on every other topic they cover.” That’s the problem with Congress.
When congress threatens the internet, as is the case with SOPA and PIPA, the internet rallied. The problem doesn’t stop there, though. Congress gets it wrong everywhere else as well, we just don’t mobilize the way we did with SOPA/PIPA.
Congress got SOPA/PIPA wrong because the only voice they hear are corporate lobbyists because they have the most money. But, this is the case for every other important issue like, say, health care or financial industry reform. The legitimate interests of the people can’t stand up to the power and influence that corporations hold over our legislative process.
Ideas?

This is what your iTunes equalizer should be set to. Whether you’re using your poor laptop speakers, the default Apple earbuds, or fine pieces of engineering from a company that gives a damn, this removes the ‘flatness’ of a dead EQ and makes whatever you’re listening to sound more like itself.
Agreed! I keep the preamp slightly lower and may eventually tweak a few of the settings but am generally impressed. If only it were possible [ahem, Apple] to run custom EQs natively on iPhone/iPad without having to preset all of one’s iTunes tracks.

Hey, Matt… “this removes the ‘flatness’ of a dead EQ and makes whatever you’re listening to sound more like itself.” I say we switch.
