In my former life as a Sonar Operator I had access to both digital and analog processors. Listening to everything from whale farts to the latest man-made machine I found that the 'old analog technology' gave the best rendering every time.
This is all very nice, that someone in Iowa figured out a way to convert data to sound but and I repeat BUT there is nothing even close to true analog sound. This article only proves once again that given the time and money someone will find a way to come up with some absolutely worthless result.
Besides, sound cannot travel in a vaccum and there are no whales in space.
Let us take a look at the context of the Economist' article;
MS is fixing to be broken.
MS is looking for a way to hold onto market share (and their price per share).
It will take years for the court to break MS.
In the mean-time MS is going to change things i.e. the court judgment will not matter.
The.net program will work for some companies, and MS is sure to come up with several other programs .
And for those of you that think that an MS strategy will not work, just think back to BOB for confirmation HI.
Note the 'Albuquerque Office' reference...
For sure they are not working on a new way to JiffyPop.
