^ Bruce Springsteen let you go?

Oh dear, don't annoy the nerds, it only makes them mad .. http://people.xiph.o...neil-young.html Articles last month revealed that musician Neil Young and Apple's Steve Jobs discussed offering digital music downloads of 'uncompromised studio quality'. Much of the press and user commentary was particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of uncompressed 24 bit 192kHz downloads. 24/192 featured prominently in my own conversations with Mr. Young's group several months ago. Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space. There are a few real problems with the audio quality and 'experience' of digitally distributed music today. 24/192 solves none of them. While everyone fixates on 24/192 as a magic bullet, we're not going to see any actual improvement. There is some sensible advice (shock horror) http://people.xiph.o...ung.html#toc_bh Finally, the good news What actually works to improve the quality of the digital audio to which we're listening? Better headphones The easiest fix isn't digital. The most dramatic possible fidelty improvement comes from a good pair of headphones. Over-ear, in ear, open or closed, it doesn't much matter. They don't even need to be expensive, though expensive headphones can be worth the money. Keep in mind that some headphones are expensive because they're well made, durable and sound great. Others are expensive because they're $20 headphones under a several hundred dollar layer of styling, brand name, and marketing. I won't make specfic recommendations here, but I will say you're not likely to find good headphones in a big box store, even if it specializes in electronics or music. As in all other aspects of consumer hi-fi, do your research (and caveat emptor).

There's a thread for that. recent stuff is towards the end. obviously.

Excellent banter from the chaps cocking about this week, with lashings of opposite lock

Congrat, +1. Remember, all work and no cocktails play, etc.

Its that well know beefcake, "Vlad" to his chums, Putin the prime ministerial pin-up and his fondness for showtunes!

Interesting. Specs also compatible with OnLive (Gaming, in/from the cloud) or a Valve version of it perhaps?

Happy Birthday Vince Nate. Cheers!

Get the CEO's phone number?

Bummer CJ, Chill. Go to Le Tub, Have a Burger and enjoy your GF's company. Niagra Falls ain't going anywhere.

Nate, don't forget to check for Pods tonight, you never know

^ CJ not fun but not the end of the world. IAG looks only 4 miles from the falls, so taxi to hotel tonight, taxi to car rental place tomo (call ahead though), Simples!

With rumors that Top Gun 2 is to go ahead El Reg has its very own amusing take on how it just might turn out. Hint: vs

Happy Birthday, Sir!

RIP Davey. And people think manufactured boy bands are a recent phenomenon. Now maybe one of you far out groovy cats can tell me what Head was all about?

That sounds about right given current exchange rates. It wil be interesting to see if others follow their lead.
