Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Malleable Technologies is a private company founded in 1998 by Curtis Abbott.  Malleable created a specialized processor called "MECA" or "Malleable Embedded Communications Accelerator" that had a reconfigurable array connected to a microprocessor.  Through this array, specialized DSP-like functions could be implemented in hardware to increase its compute performance.  Malleable used this processor to implement a Voice over IP access multiplexer solution.
Key individuals at Malleable included Curtis Abbott, Syed Ali, and Telle Whitney.
Malleable was acquired on June 14, 2000 by PMC-Sierra for USD $229M in stock.  PMC had an existing 15% equity stake in Malleable.  PMC-Sierra stopped development of the MECA processor in January 2003 as the telecom downturn continued.
