From Disney's Fantasound of the 1940s, through Quadraphonics, Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS and SRS Circle Surround, an overview of the development of surround audio technology (About Home Theater, 29-Jun-2004) [DVD Audio Daily] A good overview but nothing about DVD-A or SACD! .< 11:55:38 AM  >New Media's Age of Anxiety At a time when many Americans consider journalists no more trustworthy than the politicians they cover, the profession needs to cast a critical eye on itself. Adam L. Penenberg's column, debuting here today, takes a step in that direction. [Wired News] This is a US American crisis. The problem is not nearly as serious north of the border. .< 11:33:40 AM >Microsoft Makes Proposed Suit Settlement Consumers in two states could receive millions of dollars worth of computer products in proposed settlements of class-action lawsuits accusing Microsoft of violating antitrust laws. [New York Times: Technology] .< 3:04:20 AM >iPod based foreign language phrasebook Talking Panda is a new language translation app designed for the Apple iPod. Comes with over 300 common words and phrases of whichever language you want to speak. French, Spanish, and Japanese for $10 per language. RFID News editor John Wehr, who is helping out with the project, says "The fun thing is that the idea is so straightforward it could be used (or pre-installed?) with any portable player." Flash demo here, and website here. [Boing Boing] .< 2:56:52 AM >Silicon Valley - Dan Gillmor's eJournal - Apple's Next Operating System For news and information junkies, Apple is planning a major boost for its Safari Web browser. It's integrating a technology called RSS, which stands for (among other things) Really Simple Syndication and lets users collect and read digests of news items from a wide variety of sources -- from major news sites to small Weblogs and much more -- in one browser screen. One way Jobs expects people to use this is in creating "personal clipping" services. BINGO. This is exactly what I've been using Radio for since it first arrived on the scene. I've long wondered why I didn't hear other people referring to weblogs this way. |
