How much for the Merkur? I used to use a razor like this, but I started shaving my mellon. I wonder if this will do the job as well or would I probably slice it up?

Sound quality? at an Apple store?? I dunno, I have not tried them, though generally I do not enjoy headphones. I will stick with my Genelec 1030As instead:

Not my pic though...
I am just waiting to pick up the matching subwoofer ;-)

Great speakers! I dont own them, but have used them many times for recording playback. Very nice

Iv'e listened to them at the Apple store :) And they sound amazing. And I know sound quality.

I thought they sounded horrible - as do most of B&W's recent products (MM1, Zeppelin etc...)

Incidentally, I have a lounge full of B&W speakers and the B&W you'll find for sale in the Apple store doesn't remind me of my B&W speakers in any way, either in sound or build quality.

Great story to the CPU Cooler here;

I woke up this morning, turned on my computer and went for a shower. Came back to a black screen. CPU Cooler wasn't spinning, thus computer refuses to boot. Pull out my stock cooler that came with my CPU, plugged it in and it spins. Mmmm, guess my Cooler is busted.

Go downtown, buy me a V6, go to the trouble of installing it, boot up... NO SPIN! I'm pissed by this point, thinking my port is busted. I plug the CPU into an extra fan port just so I can use my net and find a solution. After a few readings, I don't come up with any real solution.

Turn computer off... think, what the hell, plug it back into the right port and boot. Still no spin... until 5 seconds later. Starts spinning hella fast. Plug in my old Cooler, spins as well. No idea what caused the glitch, but after noticing my temps drastically lower than they had been with the other cooler, I'm keeping this baby.

For the price you paid for that V6 you could have gotten a much better CPU cooler.

First of all you need to experience the product before replying

A bit off topic but Schneider, how did you like the iSkin keyboard skin? Did you find it better than the one you just bought? Thinking in getting a skin because the white Wireless Keyboard is starting to annoy me with reddish dust from the dry weather here...

I'm thinking anyone (Killyp) with a lounge full of B&W speakers that aren't really consumer grade knows a bit more than someone sitting at home reviewing products sent to him. I don't think, based on reviews you've given some things, that you know sound as well as you think you do. I also would not be sold bold as to qualify my opinion of something based on a single listen in an Apple store under less-than-ideal situations.

On a side note, thanks for the link to the keyboard cover. ;)

I like them both but the eBay version is much more responsive :)
