    Headphone jack problem EASILY solved

    Just pick up your trusty Dremel tool and put one of the sanding barrel/discs on it. Headphone jacks (most all of them) have a ton of extra material on them. Just sand back about 1/8 of the material and you don't need any stinking, ugly, extra thing to carry, adapter. I modified my Bose QC2...

Any way to set a delay before...
