airrage writes "Sometimes technology is a good thing, and sometimes it ends up in a hardware device called an autotuner. Apparently, it allows real-time pitch correction. They are actually being used at concerts. I think we all realize that some singers sound different -- much different -- live than they do on CD's, but this just seems so, so, what's the word: fake?"

    This is probably about as good at correcting pitch during a song as Microsoft Word's (and most other auto-dictionary) spelling and grammar checker is at spotting my spelling mistakes. False positive anyone?
