power electronics

A form of experimental/industrial noise music distinguished from others by a semblance of rhythm and the presence of coherent vocals intended to carry a message. It is often used as an outlet for obsessions such as crime (as in the band Slogun, for example), and extreme political views; Thee Grey Wolves, for example, named themselves after a Turkish terrorist faction and convey an ostensibly anarchist message.

While the differences between standard experimental noise and power electronics are highly debatable, the differences usually include ones already stated, the types of noises used (e.g. "white noise" vs. "pink noise"), and the presence of themes in power electronics.

The origins may include, but are certainly not limited to, the famous self described "extreme electronic" group Whitehouse, who used their music as an outlet for their interest in mass murder, dictatorship, sexual violence, etc. , and early {Industrial band SPK, who proposed, in one of their "dokuments," that noise could be used to induce sensory and mental information overload to break down everyday rational modes of thought and lead the listener to new experiences and possibilities in thought.
1.The band Con-Dom uses its power electronics to explore the themes of CONtrol and DOMination in various dimensions of human experience.

2. The band Genocide Organ uses its power electronics to convey an intentionally unclear message about Germany in a geopolitical context.

Electronic Arts

A crappy videogame company who's only good games were the old Medal of Honor games and Dead Space.

But then again, they combined too much Doom and Resident Evil in Dead Space to the point where some people never wanted to buy it.

Oh. How about Mercenaries 2?

Nope.

electronic towel snapping

Any kind of stereotypically male banter or sparring using the internal e-mail system and using ALLSTAFF to involve everybody, including sneaking into someone's office and using their e-mail account to send out embarrassing e-mails to the entire staff; from the habit of boys in high school locker rooms snapping towels at each others' butts. Also known as "e-snapping".
"sorry I was late," said James," It took me an extra ten minutes to clear my inbox of all the electronic towel snapping that has been going on between Lex and Tim."
