Editorial: A Fortunate Disaster?

Several weeks ago, the sump pump in my basement failed me here in Iowa. As I am sure you have read, the flooding was quite extensive in my state. As the water moves southward many towns in Illinois and Missouri are experiencing the mild to major flooding as well. My situation wasn't as bad as many are experiencing, but it was enough water to require some quick equipment and furniture extraction and some rather unpleasant room reconstruction. But, is it really all bad?

Lately I’ve been editorializing science based stuff I happen upon online while taking a break from the A/V stuff. Despite I am an avid Audioholic, I am also a geeky science guy as well. I suppose they kinda go hand in hand, but nonetheless after reading about the successes of our Voyager spacecrafts it kinda fueled my American pride that when we put our minds to a challenge, we can prevail.

Fans of the newly announced $199 iPhone will soon be able to get it... for $599. Huh? According to a report on Reuters today, U.S. consumers who want the new iPhone but cannot or do not want to sign up for a new two-year contract with AT&T Inc will eventually be able to buy it for an extra $400... sort of. Maybe. Kind of.

If you go to the Pioneer website and look up Kuro, they talk about one thing - black levels. Pioneer has recently announced that Kuro LCDs will begin shipping in the UK in August with a US release expected to follow. They are starting off with the 32-inch KRL-32V, 37-inch KRL-37V and 46-inch KRL-46V. The 32 and 37 inch displays will be shipping in August though the 46's shipping date has not been announced. We knew that Pioneer was phasing out their plasmas and starting to source LCDs from Sharp, but we didn't know they'd continue the Kuro line.

News: Hancock's Proprietary Download Experiment with Sony Bravia

by Clint DeBoer — last modified June 30, 2008 05:44
We've been sounding the death knell of traditional disc-based media for some time, but Sony Pictures seems to truly be ushering it along - at least in an experimental trial fashion. This week's blockbuster-in-waiting, Hancock, will be hitting the silver screen... soon to be followed by downloads - at least if you own a Web-ready Sony Bravia TV. That's right, after its theater run - but before it gets releases to DVD & Blu-ray, owners of Sony Bravia TVs (with integrated Internet connections) can download the movie over the Internet.

Rhapsody, an online subscription music company-turned MP3-download service, is spending $50 million in marketing to take on #1 retailer iTunes, offering DRM-free songs online and working with such partners as Yahoo Inc and Verizon Wireless. Since Rhapsody will sell its songs in the MP3 format, iPod users will now have a choice of where to purchase music. Rhapsody is hoping iPod users will opt for a DRM-free choice.
News: OLED in the News

Recently there has been a flurry of activity centered around OLED, not the least of which were rumors that Matsushita (Panasonic) was attempting to mass produce the technology (for cheap) as early as 2011. On the heels of that round of news, Samsung SDI (the Korean-based display manufacturing company) announced it would boost OLED production levels six-fold by mid-2009. To do this, they have committed to spending over half a billion dollars ($529 million to be more precise).
