  9. Sir Howard... on TransferJet Consortium Works Towards Touch Data Transfer Tech · · Score: 3, Insightful

    http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2008/07/22/sony-and-company-introduce-transferjet/

    "I thought Sir Howard was supposed to put an end to this type of thing. Apparently not, as Sony is back with another proprietary technology. Making it worse, they are offering up a wireless technology to transfer video and image wirelessly, a market where there are seemingly PLENTY of standardized technologies to do just this. Sure, theyâ(TM)ve pushed a consortium around TransferJet [PR], at least giving this effort the appearance of an industry-wide effort, but in the end this looks and feels like classic Sony pushing an internally developed technology as a solution where there already is one."

    Dear Mr. Richardson,

            We just created our first MP3-CD recording. It is available for purchase
    only
    for 19.00. The title is "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out" by Richard
    Feynman.

    It will be a slow process initially, but hopefully within the next few
    months we can release an initial batch of about 50 or so titles to start,
    then expand the collection from there.

    Within the next few years I'm sure we will get involved with streaming audio
    formats as that technology becomes more feasible and more widespead.

    Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you.
    Sincerely,

    I have two DVD recorders. Magnavox ($97 from Walmart; about 1.5 years old) and Phillips ($110 from Amazon, about 6 months old).

    I use the Magnavox fifty times more. Why? Because it AUTO-SETS the TIME/DATE from a TV channel!
    The Phillips doesn't have this feature.

    Anybody want to buy the Phillips?
