Harman's Signal Doctor rebuilds compressed audio filesLast week at International CES in Las Vegas, after I spent a day soaking up the ultra Hi-Fi sounds wandering between Venetian suites, I wrote about the trend of high-revolution audio files finally marrying quality with convenience. Through various conversations and product demos, I believe we're finally going to see many more consumers embrace better sounding audio again due in part to more products available that accommodate high-res audio files and new audio processing technologies. Then the next afternoon I was introduced to Harman's Signal Doctor technology, and I knew that my earlier blog was incomplete.
WHY THIS MATTERS: In the battle of audio convenience versus quality, Harman has taken a big leap to help close the gap. - JEREMY GLOWACKI#3
Computer users not couch potatoes will lead the way on 4K high-definition TV
BY LARRY MAGID, THE EXCHANGE VIA YAHOO FINANCE
The television industry swamped last week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with dozens of new super high-definition sets, but got in return a collective yawn from journalists, analysts and the buying public. So is the new standard, known generally as "4K," dead on arrival, headed for the same fate as 3D TV? Not at all. It's just going to start out as a hit with computer users, not couch potatoes. That's why Brian Hauer bought two dozen new TV sets for his Web and mobile software development firm, TechEmpower in El Segundo, California. No, he didn't buy the Seiki 39" ultra-high definition televisions so his programmers could watch their favorite movies and sports. Instead, he's connecting the $500 screens to his programmers' computers.
WHY THIS MATTERS: Interesting analysis based on the idea that modern employers will want the "room to work" and user experience that 4K provides. And the author makes the point that display manufacturers should consider removing the television tuner, speakers and remote for these types of applications. Or not. Anyway, interesting read from a well-known computer observer. -CYNTHIA WISEHARTFIND US ONLINE
