Unintended consequences: Jay-Z’s ‘Death of Auto-Tune’ boosts sales of the software
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsA few weeks ago, Jay-Z released the song “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” much to the delight of some corners of the Internet. It's basically a song that rails against the proliferation of Auto-Tune, software that can alter/correct the pitch of someone's voice. Its most notorious use is to make the singer sound like a robot, thus hiding their inability to sing at all. It's huge in hip-hop, for whatever reason.

Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
A lot of us geeks have one problem: Playing video games, programming or surfing the web usually means staring at computer screens or TVs over a long period of time. And some of us eventually pay a price in the form of dry eyes, which can be very annoying.
But now Japan based Masunaga Optical Manufacturing comes to the rescue. The company that enjoyed some international attention for designing former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin's glasses, has developed the so-called Wink Glasses [JP]. The glasses feature a built-in sensor, which analyzes the user's eyelid movements.

Intel no longer accepting Z-series Atom orders
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
Intel's apparently putting the kibosh on orders for its super low-voltage Z-series Atom processors. The Z-series chips can be found mostly in UMPCs and MIDs but had also made their way into various netbooks like the 12-inch Dell Mini series and the Acer Aspire One 751h, to name a few, as they provided a nice loophole to the "no screens over 1024x600 resolution" rule.

98.9% of US homes able to receive DTV per Nielsen
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
Good job, everyone! The DTV switch seemed to went well. The June 12 transition came and past on our end with little fanfare. Hopefully it was the same with you. Nielsen is reporting that the vast majority of US homes - 98.9% that is - can receive DTV signals. Kind of surprisingly though is that the under 35 demo is the least prepared with 2.7% unable to receive the digital broadcasts.
