Had some fun looking a bit deeper into a story from last week - Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation apparently can breaks laptops with a certain frequency, but the story of why is a little bit cooler than the initial headlines would suggest.

The offending frequency was caused by tuning low E slightly sharp - who'd a thunk!

Thanks y'all!
