The Vorbis audio codec was also named after Vorbis from Small Gods, the 13th Discworld book.

Yeah, you could get hundreds of cheap nozzles for $70. I've bought packs of 10 nozzles for 74 cents. That's almost a thousand nozzles I could get instead of one $70 tungsten one. Or maybe "only" 800 nozzles if I factor in a pessimistic shipping cost too.
EDIT: Checked the price I paid and it was even cheaper than I remember. Edited my calculations.
They have a feature where they toggle sound presets depending on your location. That's the only thing that requires an account, as well as access to your location. It's opt-in however (and pretty useless imo).
If it can toggle ANC and "passthrough" mode based on location, that would actually be an awesome feature for me. I often wear my earbuds while walking, taking the train, and shopping, and in the train I like having ANC on but at the supermarket I like having passthrough mode on so I can hear the cashier better.
The Xiph.org foundation themselves say that's where the name came from.
