Re: IBM is having a Yahoo moment: No more working from home

The over-the-ear Bose QuietComfort headphones are quite good. Reasonably

without any music on.

The only problem is that you can't even hear yourself properly on a Skype
call, so you end up bellowing, making it more difficult for colleagues to
get work done!
