The days of postage-sized, stuttering, 4X3 videos are over. More content is available online than ever before which only means that consumers are also demanding better quality than ever before. Quality, not convenience, will be the new battle ground for online video and new technologies, user experience innovations and obsession over every pixel will be what separates the leaders from the followers.

READ MORE
Most music services present music like a jukebox, not a professional DJ. Songs stacked serially, not flowing together for various reasons: tonal balance, loudness levels, speed and intensity. We discuss improving that presentation: automated mixing and segue tools; "harmonic key mixing" tracks; improving sound quality of MP3s and alternative Codecs; audio processing systems keeping subjective loudness and tone consistent.

READ MORE
Artists like NIN and Radiohead are releasing whole albums for free, DRM-free Amazon is giving iTunes a run for its money, no one buys CDs that may or may not have DRM on them, and Napster has just bet the farm on MP3s. By all accounts the battle against music DRM has been won, but what about the DRM war against the rest of our media? As Bluray gets comfortable with some of the most restrictive DRM in history and Microsoft Vista struggles with convincing its customers what exactly its features are, we should be taking a hard look how we access media. Join us for a discussion on new DRM technologies, recent circumvention attempts, and ruminations on the nature of the beast.
