Even better: Use SSLH[1], so you can still have an HTTPS server, but also connect to ssh on port 443. Set it up myself and my boss still doesn't know.. :)
My initial thought was that this was going to talk about default settings, like for computer applications.
I was disappointed. (And I don't like the situation the markets are in now anyways, but this article and plenty others have already voiced all I can think of.)
This reminds of an earlier article, another look at a historical context for twitter. Apparently, there were lots of postcards sent back and forth between family members, most of which weren't much different those those sampled here.
If I remember the article correctly, it was relatively recent, perhaps in the 19th or early 20th century?
Yes, but I think the interesting part of this (and similar) demonstrations is that it shows illusions that cross more than one sense. It's not just tricking your eyes; it's using your eyes to trick your hearing.
It would be neat to find reverse examples -- where sound changes visual perception. (Perhaps the typical dramatic false-punch is one; the added sound of contact makes an otherwise implausibly short or off-center strike seem much more realistic.)
