Imagine a completely silent computer
It’s possible: Boing Boing writes about a computer that makes no sound whatsoever–zero decibels!
Let’s hope the designer focuses on vacuum cleaners or blenders next.
And the world just got a little bit quieter:
Rejoice! Apple removes irritating startup chime from MacBook Pros.
We can’t help but think that the removal of any noise–even something as seemingly innocuous as the startup chime on a MacBook Pro–is a good thing. That manufacturers insist on using sound to indicate that some act or thing was achieved really needs to end. One hopes Apple’s move will herald similar action by other computer manufacturers until eventually one common layer of sound comes to an end.
