Does anyone even know what TIOBE stands for? I couldn't find the definition even on their website.

From the TIOBE website's About page
Quote: The name TIOBE stands for “The Importance Of Being Earnest”.

Quote: This is also the name of a comedy play written by Oscar Wilde at the end of the Nineteenth Century. By choosing this name, the founders of TIOBE Software emphasize their sincere and professional attitude towards customers, suppliers and colleagues. Which is ironic considering the play satirizes those who take themselves too seriously.

Bluetooth’s new low-energy audio capabilities will save your battery and let you stream to multiple sources at once. I'll believe it when I hear it. In both ears. At the same time.

It doesn't "fix" your headphones; it makes you throw them away and buy new.
I wonder who sponsored the research.

On the serious side, hearing aid wearers are looking for direct streaming (no external devices) with no latency (big problem for some).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Just curious: these days, wouldn't a phone and a pair of earbuds be preferable to a hearing aid?
The spectrum and volume controls are more advanced, and there's no stigma involved in wearing earbuds.

If you are only talking on the phone or streaming music to it... maybe. It all depends on the loss. I would need to raise the highs quite a bit without blowing my brains (what is left) out with the lows. If high frequency loss is bad enough, HA's do frequency lowering (some have fancy names for it) to cope. I use my phone app, to select from 4 built in programs (HA programs) and 4 that I created (just mods of the built ins). I can also adjust noise canceling, wind noise, and other stuff. If I need GPS while driving, my phone streams to the aids, helping comprehension greatly.
HA's are getting smarter with, Ta-Da, AI. I think there are a couple that will phone home if you fall down.
HA's are like using your favorite Javascript framework, or Marc's arm floaties. They assist, they don't fix
Edit: I feel no stigma with hearing aids, most people don't even notice them.

So the hearing aids act, more or less, like smart earbuds, with dedicated phone software?
It's nice to see smartphone tech being used for more useful than just facebook and twitter.

Merlin Mann says people took his idea far too literally. More like Inbox 0 +/- n
Where 'n' is whatever you want or need it to be.

|

I thought I knew nothing about inbox zero, so therefore I knew everything about it?
I don't know about that.
One thing that I do know I know (or, at least, I think so) is that I'm not interested in yet another blob of faddish cr@p, so my inbox-interaction-processes will remain unchanged until something actually useful comes along to replace them.
