The 404 326: Where we have a casual encounter with Jasmine France
Jasmine France joins The 404 today. Just a little warning: she had just flown into New York City on the red-eye from San Francisco and is pretty loopy for part of the show. But she does give us the 411 on the best MP3 player and headphones to get.

Jasmine dishes the dirt on Justin as an intern years ago. Let's just say dry cleaning, coffee, foot rubs, and walking her dog were part of his daily routine. Oh, how far he has come.
We talk a bit about how popular "casual encounters" has become on Craigslist. It's even bigger than Match.com, eHarmony, or even Yahoo! Personals. Jasmine tells us about her "missed connections" story. It gets juicy. Find your subway crush here.
Also, we discuss a bit 'bout how piracy is ruining the PSP. Justin doesn't really care; Jeff gets upset; and Wilson's fourth cousin is selling pirated games back home in Zhong Guo. Speaking of China, for about five minutes too long, Wilson exposés on Jackie Chan's recent comments in the press. This is why we don't discuss anything with any seriousness.
Finally, it's "Earf Day"...we think that's how it's spelled. Anyway, as part of our effort to be friendly to the environment, CNET TV is launching The Green Show, starring Mark Licea. That's right! MTI has his own show now. Check it out and send us your comments at greenshow [at] cnet [dot] com.

Justin Yu can be found tinkering with printers and other peripherals for CNET, when he's not adjusting his headphones, riding his bike, or eating hot dogs for breakfast.
They can be had in two flavors 1) molded tips that can attach to most standard in-ear headphones (shure, westone, ultimate ears, etc.) these are done by the audiologist with no real connection to the company other than getting the mold for the tips.
2) The other option is far better, but about 7-12 times more expensive. First you go to the audiologist and get an ear mold done, then the audiologist sends the mold to the earphone company and they embed the components of the earphones into plastic or silicon or both that is molded to the cast that the audiologist took.
Anyway this probably wasn't the place to post this but it just popped out at me and I had to get it off my chest, you know?
