    It's called 'stealth marketing'. It's so low profile you don't even realise it's there, till one day you wake up to find you've ordered a pair of mono blocks, a BMU, some Cube speakers and enough nva cables to re-wire the street.

    funny, I was looking at a documentary about the F22 and F35 stealth fighter jets and it seems that the stealth feature is a bunch of marketing hype in order to spend billions and billions of dollars for something that can be ultimately be detected by some radars... sorry for the drift it of course a different league all together

    I heard they are still not meeting design briefs.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
