I've got a CS50 too. Too bad there is no dialing option. It is a very sweet headset and has great background noise rejection. My office is quite a bit bigger. Can't get out to smoke with it and it doesn't work in the other end of the building but I get pretty damn good coverage.

I use it to bark at people. If anybody's ever taken any exec mgmt courses it's in the "Jedi mind-trick" section.

I'm not kidding.
Yep, and everyone perceives you as an asshole when you do it. Believe it.

Wow, if you have to bark at your minions to get results perhaps someone didn't hire the right people in the first place. Barking at underlings only makes you look like your in control, pretending to be their superior when in reality they will find ways to screw you under.

It doesn't use Bluetooth does it? 'cos that would be a no no.

Not bluetooth.

900mhz I believe. Like a cordless phone.


Why would that be a no-no, privacy/security? I have to investigate that actually before we do anything with technology in our office. We hold personal information of 10s of thousands of people and anytime a computer gets thrown out, someone requires remote network access, we fire someone, etc etc etc. It becomes an area of concern. I know we aren't alone in these issues, but it is a serious pain to have popping up all the time.

Well I've always hated being on speakerphone but in your situation, the guy was being a douchebag and wanted to show off to his coworkers and anyone else within listening range
