Whitespaces - Why free the airwaves?

Well according to Google, "Remember that fuzzy static between channels on the old TVs? Today more than three-quarters of those radio airwaves, or "white space" spectrum, are completely unused. This vast public resource could offer a revolution in wireless services of all kinds, including universal wireless Internet. The FCC will soon decide whether to open this unused spectrum for general usage".They are leading the pack and you should visit their website http://www.freetheairwaves.com/....

Back To Basics: Latest Shure Podcasts on iTunes Cover The Fundamentals of Wired And Wireless Microphones

NILES, IL, July 14, 2008 – Shure Incorporated has posted several new educational podcasts, called Shurecasts, on the Company’s website and on iTunes that cover the basics of wired and wireless microphones. Topics include “Transducers,” “Frequency Response” and “Directionality” for wired microphones, and “Choosing the Right System,” “Frequency Selection,“ and “Antennas” for wireless microphones.

“These are just a handful in a series of podcasts we’ve already created and are continuing to produce as part of our overall education program,” said Chris Lyons, Manager of Technical and Educational Communications for Shure. “For years, we’ve had an extensive library of educational booklets and articles available on our website, which have been very popular. The nice thing about our podcasts is their portability because they can be played on any digital music player or computer.”
Other Shurecasts that are currently available cover a variety of audio topics, including Sound Isolating Earphones, Stereo Miking Techniques, the SM57 and SM58® microphones, and White Spaces. Each episode includes a brief introduction to a particular segment of audio technology, such as microphones or earphones, and audible demonstrations.

Additional Shurecasts will be released on a regular basis, approximately one per month, and some episodes will include interviews with artists and engineers.

Shure is inviting questions about the current and previous Shurecasts as well as suggestions for topics, which can be submitted by sending an e-mail to shurecast@shure.com.

WAM believes that women's mastery of music technology and inclusion in the production process will expand the vision and voice of media and popular culture.

Audio homing robot

Programmers at Cornell University have developed a robot that listens for and then tracks an audio source. The robot - dubbed PeanutBot - uses three microphones to triangulate the direction of the source relative to the robot, and then rotates and advances toward the source
