That roar before movies in American theaters and on DVDs is the THX Deep Note, 30 computer voices a Lucasfilm engineer slid into one chord. Lucasfilm even sued Dr. Dre over a song that sounded too close.

Dial-up was two modems screaming at each other over a phone line to agree on a speed, and the speaker stayed on so you'd hear a busy line or a person picking up

Polaroid said in 2004 that shaking its photos does nothing and can even damage them, because the picture develops sealed inside. The first Polaroid prints came out wet and had to be waved dry, and the habit just stuck.
