The relationship between man and cord is an uneasy alliance. They're necessary, but annoying.
There are a slew of products for cord management at home, but your earbud cords are sometimes the most irritating to keep tangle-free.

OK, I'm all for making geek chic, but this is kind of pushing it. First, So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson sported her pink headphones on camera, and now, on Comedy Central's new show Michael and Michael Have Issues, boss Biederman wears his earbuds around his neck.
The big difference between the SYTYCD and Michael is that it's possible that Gibson was listening to her cans before the taping and just left them on, but the earbuds are part of Michael's Josh Pais's character — he always wears the Apple earbuds around his neck, with no iPod in sight.

I don't have a kitty, but I can imagine that they can get their little paws into anything. Such is the case for Teamsugar member morenasobuena, as she enlists our help to find her an attractive and cat-proof earbud case to store her new headphones:
I love my iPod headphones and unfortunately so does my cat. She chews them as soon as I leave them unattended to, and last night even stuck her paw into the back of my laptop bag and pulled it out, leaving me a nice surprise in the morning.

Each time I put my earbuds in (or headphones on), I resent the few seconds it takes to look at which one is left and which is right. Call me lazy — I call me efficient.
For a brief, crazy minute (or minutes), I may have even thought about using a Sharpie to make the "L" and "R" much bigger, but then my craziness would be on display to everyone I walk by on my morning commute.

Just cause you're taking off for your honeymoon doesn't mean you have to leave all of your gadgets at home! Sure, you probably want to disconnect from your work and home lives for a bit (which means leaving that BlackBerry and work laptop behind), but all that time on the beach not only means soaking up some rays but also catching up on your Buzz-assigned homework. Check out some digital goodies that are totally honeymoon (and geek) approved in this slideshow!

In the Twilight trailer, we see Bella get rescued from being hit by a van by Edward (goosebumps). I'm not as concerned with the fact that a teenage boy can stop steel (because he looks so hot doing it) as much as I am with the fact that Bella was in the parking lot with her earbuds in. No, no!

So the other day PetSugar was explaining to me how she lost the top to her earbud and was peeved because she couldn't listen to her tunes at work, when suddenly something happened — her earbuds picked up a paper clip from her desk! Was it due to Mercury being in retrograde? Was it because our office is haunted and the ghost was messing with us and our electronics?

So, I'm sure you might be sick of me going on and on about how great the iPhone is, but let me just say, I've found something I don't like: the standard issue earbuds. Seriously, my ears are not that big, and without the assistance of the earbud covers (which are not included, by the way), these things won't stay in! Plus, the bass is practically non-existent, and don't get me started on the treble.
