Bang & Olufsen's Beolab speakers do pretty much what you are describing. They have a test tone and each one has a little micro dick (only way I can really describe it) that pokes out during the test tone playback to pick up reflect

So they are making an effort at creating not only sustainable energy solutions for their operations but also a good example for other big corporations. You clearly hate this. Poor Apple, can't do shit without being shat on.

You have my apologies for any perceived or actual snark. I hadn't intended to insult anyone and in terms of derision, I am certainly in no position to be doling it out. Going back to the comment in question though, it is kind of the cr

What is the precision and how small can an object be? How small can the printer be? Can we make nanoprinters that are controlled from the cloud to mutate the models they create as necessary? Nanovaccines that can change in response to mutat

I met him once. He came to talk at UNiversity of Cape Town here in South Africa. I was never really a fan (not for any reason apart from my infatuation with Gibson which kept me more in Chiba City than in Discworld) but I went with a friend

Strident anti-antivax here. The main sticking point that I have experienced is that anitvaxxers refuse to accept that their actions impact other people (children) by way of herd immunity. When they do see it, they are often too deep into th
