You Dropped food on the floor, do you eat it?

You know that you’ve been guilty of this before. Accidentally dropping a food item on the floor then claiming the 5 second rule. According to Wikipedia, The five-second rule is a popular polite fiction regarding the eating of food that has fallen to the floor or ground.

I carry my MacBook Pro everywhere, especially when I’m on the road. Most of the time I’m listening to music through headphones. However, once and awhile I like to listen through the Macbook’s built-in speakers. The speakers aren’t exactly the definition of ‘high quality.’ They are somewhat tinty sounding and lack a low end bass.

The sound and power are delivered via a single USB cable which helps to keep the cable count under control.  It also utilizes software to customize the sound between the built-in speakers and subwoofer. It’s reasonably priced at just $79.99.
