4,99 Euro MP3-Alben bei Saturn

Im (DRM-freien, juhu) MP3-Laden von Saturn gibt es bis Ende des Monats viele Alben für nur 4,99 Euro. Zeit die Lücken im digitalen CD-Regal zu füllen :)

Ein kurzer Vergleich hat ergeben, dass viele Titel, die bei iTunes um 10 Euro kosten, bei den reduzierten Titeln dabei sind. Es lohnt sich also. — Aber natürlich handelt es sich wohl nur um ein Lockangebot, bleibt also abzuwarten, auf was der Preis angehoben wird, wenn die Aktion vorbei ist.

Keeping Teens At Bay

I just did a “teenager audio test” and I was actually able to hear the sound (though it almost curled my toe nails because it’s so unbearable):

Train Horn

It’s amusing how the website reads:

[This is] a tone that is generally only heard by people under the age of 25. It has been used as a deterrent device to keep teenagers from loitering in malls and shops, and sounds similar to a buzzing mosquito.

(emphasis mine). That reminded me of my first—and probably only—visit to an Abercrombie and Fitch store in a Florida mall that I left as fast as I went in, driven out by the ridiculously obnoxious “store smell” they were spraying there (though there seem to be people who like it). Seriously, if I wanted to smell cheap cologne, I’d talk to some poor, drunk souls at the friendly neighborhood dive. But in general, I appreciate stores that don’t need to drug me to make me buy their products…
