]]> <![CDATA[scarbrtj commented on Giz Explains: Dolby, DTS and Home Theater Audio Codec Confusion]]> There is an interesting little side note, of no real interest admittedly, to the audio codec story which I think is Windows Media Audio Pro (WMA Pro). It allowed for up to 9 channels I believe, up to 48 bit/96 kHz.

The Pioneer Elite 59-TXi receiver had a USB port on the back. When plugged into a PC, the PC could stream multi-channel high-res audio (at least as good as DTS-HD in terms of bit rates, sometimes better) directly into the receiver. This audio actually sounded really good. The very few WMV-HD discs with high-res multichannel WMA Pro tracks ("Amazing Caves," "Amazon," etc) sounded great with this receiver.

For a while... I hoped WMA Pro would be a new standard audio format. Well, at least VC-1 made it!

]]> <![CDATA[scarbrtj commented on iShoe Prototype Assists Wobbly Elderly Folk and Astronauts Alike]]> The stat (a quarter of folks age 50+ die with one year of a hip fracture) is true. Only a very small proportion will die from the hip fracture. The hip fracture, and fall, is a result of other underlying disorders (Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, cancer cachexia)... but not rehabbing and being recumbent for many months can push many older people through death's doorsill via pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bed sores, fun stuff like that. Death is associated with hip fractures, not necessarily caused by hip fractures. Much perhaps like: if you constantly read Gizmodo, there is a 50% chance you own an iPhone. Reading Gizmodo did not actually cause you to come into posession of the iPhone.

Wait...
