OMFG
October 4, 2007
Found via a Slashdot comment: these guys claim to have discovered a way to upgrade your audio system remotely, using a specially-crafted set of sounds.
Let me repeat that:
- You call them up.
- You pay them SIXTY BUCKS.
- They beep at you.
- And magically, your stereo sounds better!
Words fail me.

I can has shooting them now?
I think the appropriate thing to do would be call them up and play a sequence of specially-crafted sounds that would KILL THEM.
I will play the 1/2600 Hz tone at them, and it will DRIVE UP THEIR LONG DISTANCE BILLS! Mwahaha!
And it can even be done via cell phone!
Oh, the bullshit. It burns.
This is almost as good as that product Randi (The Amazing Randi) spent debunking a while ago – you put it near your CD player…
After looking through the rest of their site, I have come to the conclusion that they are either a joke or a very transparent attempt to get money out of audiophiles. If the latter, it looks like it works, though I doubt any of their products do.
Heh, that’s pretty awesome.
This gives me an idea: someone should call up these guys and record the sounds. Then they can put them on Youtube, and no longer will people have to pay $60 for their Magical Audio Upgrade ™!
Actually, that might be copyright infringement, now that I think about it.
Funny you should mention that – I found it linked off the Slashdot story about Randi.
There are also apparently folks that will do reiki for you over a cell phone. No offense to anyone who does that kind of thing – but ha.
God, I hope it’s a joke. But I somehow doubt it.

If you’re gonna call them up to play specially crafted sounds, screw killing them and go straight for the brown note.
Maybe they’re intuitive energy readers *g*
Yeah, you just know they’re waiting to DMCA you.
