My trip to California last week had already brought me to both Dolby and DTS to experience new home theater product demos. Knowing that I’d be in L.A., however briefly, my friend (and occasional Roundtable contributor) Chris...
After spending two days in San Francisco witnessing the latest products that Dolby Labs wanted to showcase, I next jetted off to the Los Angeles area to visit Dolby’s biggest competitor: DTS, Inc. I’ll be honest that I...
A very surprising article in Wired recently suggested that, when it comes to literature and perhaps movies, most people are not bothered by having plot details spoiled in advance. In fact, knowing the ending or a big secret can ma...
