Was your problem in the Gallery?
I've found both with this article & a few previous problematic ones, that if the gallery pictures are too large & take too long to load,I can get around this problem if I go back & click the link to the full article, not the gallery, then look at the pictures at the bottom of the article after the text.

The Sound Egg Chair, Surround Sound For One {Luxist}
Jan 4th 2010 10:55AM To Mr Cochran,
It's not the engineering I object to, it's the aesthetics. I have no comment to make on your device's engineering, but I would suggest a more attractive finish to the acoustic foam lining. Any finish at all, actually, would be better than the bare foam on display here.
I would also challenge your assertion that your idea is a new concept. The poster below remembers non-surround versions from more than 40 years ago ("a bit earlier than the 1970's"). Whatever the technical achievement of upgrading stereo speakers to surround, surely that's an incremental upgrade to a concept that's been around for more than 40 years.
Sincerely,
JRA.
The Sound Egg Chair, Surround Sound For One {Luxist}
Jan 3rd 2010 2:15PM "The chair takes the classic 1970s egg chair style and creates a new sound experience."
Shouldn't that read "The chair takes the classic 1970s egg chair style and utterly ruins it." ?
Travesty!

Finnish Drivers Don't Mind Sliding Scale, But Instant Calculation Gets Low Marks
By Steve Stecklow
HELSINKI, Finland -- Jaako Rytsola, a 27-year-old Finnish Internet entrepreneur and newspaper columnist, was cruising in his BMW one recent evening. "The road was wide and I was feeling good," he later wrote. "It's nice to be driving when there's no one in sight."
But this road wasn't empty; a radar-equipped police car was clocking his speed. The officer pulled over Mr. Rytsola's car and issued him a speeding ticket for driving 43 miles an hour in a 25-mile-an-hour zone. The fine: $71,400.
The staggering sum was no mistake. In Finland, traffic fines generally are based on two factors: the severity of the offense and the driver's income. The concept has been embedded in Finnish law for decades: When it comes to crime, the wealthy should suffer as much as the poor.
etc.
Seiko: The Luxury Watch Brand You Didn't Know Existed {Luxist}
Oct 27th 2009 11:47AM "Lexus of watches"
Careful... on this site shouldn't it be "Cadillac of Watches"?
I had a comment deleted from the post announcing the Luxist Awards because I dared suggest that sponsorship was going a bit too far with award titles like "Cadillac of Furniture" & the ludicrous "Cadillac-pedia".
Do writer/contributors get deleted or edited for not toeing the sponsor's line too?
