Just picked up a pair of these and while too early to give my full impression (great so far, 2 hrs) I did find myself setting them on the keyboard area of my laptop when taking breaks (restroom, phone call, etc) and began to wonder about the risks involved with those (strong) magnets in the earpads and the possible effects on hard drives and memory and such as it applies to computers. Incidently I had three freezes in typing this message which has never happened on this robust laptop. Hmmmm....?

Naturally, I rarely have enough sense to take... -
Hello all:
Friday evening, I came home and saw some error messages on the screen. I didn't pay a lot of attention, as this sort of thing does happen occasionally, usually memory induced, I thought.

I know that Jon recently got... -
I need an external DVD drive for my Laptop. I among others want to use it to watch films (among other things). I own DVDs from several regions with different region codes. Thus, I need an external DVD drive that allows me to play them all. A RPC1 drive would be fine. I read that it is possible to change...
