Yikes. I'd afraid not. While an interesting effort, as far as ergonomics go that model simply won't do. That over the ear strap looks plastic, and I bet barely a swing of the head will send them flying. No offense.
Besides, by now, I'm guessing the BH-503's gotten a price drop. Either that or the market's gained a few good models of Bluetooth stereo headsets. Thanks though.

You know, Sony does seem to be releasing quite a few bluetooth headsets, most already with incorporated mic and controls. Very nice, including the DR-BT50, or the smaller DR-BT21G, and many others. This just may work out after all. Thanks angeliclucero

Not bad. A bit bulky, so I don't see this used in a car or walking outside, but for home use, this one seems good. A good suggestion, thanks.

Owning a Nokia 5800XM, it was only a matter of time before the included Nokia Music Headset HS-45, AD-54 became insufficient for a true music experience. Even if you put the music aside, it's rather difficult to use the darned thing while driving, as the cord's always putting the mic far away, and it restricts where you can place the phone itself.
The next logical step was to go wireless. But it seems the market's starting to get confused/saturated with bluetooth headsets. Being direct, I'm asking for opinions and suggestions.
If we stay "in brand", the BH-503 and BH-905 are the most prominent names that come up. And though the 905 sports some pretty impressive features and promises of quality, its pricetag (averaging around 300$ US from what I've seen) is kinda intimidating. But, the 503, while much more affordable, and I'll admit, much better looking (in red, heh), keeps getting complaints in reviews about the mid-range being excessive. But both offer an ease of use, good immersion, and some good control options (fixed buttons on your earpiece are easier to handle than blindly feeling and groping around for the wired headset's control unit).
Does anyone own any of these models, to give their opinions, or can recommend any other bluetooth stereo headsets? And if I may be picky, no in-ear. Only over the ear. Thanks ;)

Which final fantasy is ur fav?

I haven't played many of the old ones, though I am now, enough to judge. Still my favorite must remain 8, since it was my first. I played 7 immediately after, and while I admit its excellence, it can't take 8's place for me. 9 was, well, cute, heh, and it took the FMVs to a new level (Odin anyone?). 10 was a beautiful jump to the then next gen console, and despite many friends disagreeing, 10-2 was a feast for the eyes, as well as very enjoyable. 12.... is where we reach a gray area. Amazing characters, graphics, and story, but... the gameplay just wasn't for me. I've yet to finish it due to lack of motivation, but eventually, I will just to know how it ends. And let's not forget FF Tactics for real strategy, and Crisis Core for good action.

why do love fade

27.03.09, 10:27

There are far too many notions from various media that can cloud one's perception of love. And while a tad crude, there's one example I constantly use, since I lived it. This was shortly after the release of Titanic. In the middle of the movie theater, I lost count of now many times people sighed as if saying "that's true love". I was immediately reminded of something a friend said on that same issue, and I quote: "True love is when your husband still turns away from you when he farts in bed". Yup, crude, but it sure got the point across didn't it? The look I got when I voiced said memory was priceless. But really, my main goal wasn't to ruin another's movie experience. The main point was to pass the notion that love, is in fact something to be seen with a great dose of realism.
That rush, that spark you get when you start having feelings for someone, that's not love. Or, at least, not yet. It has the potential to be so, but not yet. That's an attraction. And I honestly think that confusion the two notions is what makes people think love fades. An attraction can either mature into love, or dwindle out. Love, true love, lasts. For a lifetime. Sometimes more.
I think I can cap this post off with a story I was e-mailed once. Supposedly by a doctor who was on duty one morning.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said,
'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.
'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,
But how to dance in the rain.'

Who is Your Digital Self

26.08.08, 14:10

One cannot deny that anything happening behind the relative shield of a computer screen can be considered to be diluted reality. Easy to retreat. Easy to deny. Easy period. And when you say a Digital Self, that can be taken in so many different places and contexts. Things like any random forum, some online RPG or sim. Anonymity is after all a warm blanket to wrap yourself in.
On the down side, you're probably going to need that warm blanket. While being anonymous, you'll be quite cold, since it'll alienate you. Always hiding who you are, counting who you told what detail to, trying not to contradict yourself to avoid bringing the whole house of cards tumbling down around you.
Though quite the extreme case, I prefer to think an online persona is an amalgam of the two extremes: your core personality, seasoned with a few new things you wouldn't think of doing were you face to face with your public. You define your online self, not the other way around.
