For those wanting a nice laugh. Point number 4 in the CICs is Domesticity. That paragraph ends with: "Our aim is also to harness technology in such a way that it becomes completely subservient, tame and familiar to man in his home environment." 37 years later (!) you launch Beo5. And let's commiserate with the poor souls who had to enter

I'm not on board with what 10% writes. Apple does have numerous inventions under its belt, but what they are extremely good at is to improve upon existing interfaces and placing them within relevant contexts that add value to the customer experience. Jobs was obsessive about the customer experience, just as Jensen was. Look at Jacob Jensen's

Here's Subir Pramanik on his work for B&O. He developed the SP15 cartridge and actually proposed the tangential arm, which Jensen originally was against.

Hello kirkus, I doubt that the loadings used by B&O hung on to the 50/60s practices, particularly for the cartridges we are considering here. During the transition from multi-eq loadings to the generally accepted RIAA-standard, turntables/amplifiers had to accommodate a variety of EQ-standards. Many mono-recordings were using curves that differed

Looking for a near mint or unused condition SP 8-9 in box stylus and cartridge. As this one:

Not something one does without company coffers at the ready. It's pretty obvious that how content will be distributed to users will change drastically, and that traditional broadcasting is over - which means there is a market for set-ups that easily integrate with users, and that display sound and image on command.
