Can anyone fill me in on the BV 8-40 connections? The rather limited tech specs on the B&O site tell me there are two HDMI sockets. I need to know if there is component video input, audio in and audio out phono sockets too. I have Sky HD, a PS3 and an Apple tv and I need to be able to connect them all up at the same time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

There' a bit of confusion here: 1. AAC is not Apple's format - they're just a big advocate of the format. 2. There's no such thing as lossless AAC because, by definintion, it's a lossy format 3. Apple have their own lossless format called 'Apple Lossless' that has nothing to do with AAC It's a shame that B&O's

Tom: AFAIK, this is only scheduled for April 2009. No, many tracks are already DRM-free, beginning Tuesday. I have already upgraded many of mine. The process of converting all the millions of tracks will be complete by April.

Further Googling found me this page which shows that Shakespeare himself appeared not to have ever spelled it 'Shakespeare'. http://home.att.net/~tleary/sigs.htm True, that horrendous scrawl is open to interpretation but rather than scupper my point it rather proves it - I think it says Shakespere, someone else think it says Shakespeare. The

Yeah, I googled exactly the same page. It says there were different spellings - that's not disputed. That article argues about whether or not the different spellings were used to refer to two 'incarnations' of the man - the Stratford man and the London playwright. I wasn't saying Shakespeare is not the most common and accepted spelling

soundproof: Gentlemen, Respect for The Bard, please. His name is Shakespeare -- and therefore it should be Shakespeare's many plays. Ah. Except that Shakespere spelled his own name in a number of different ways. Shakespeare as the common spelling has just gained currency by sheer repetition. The Elizabethans (and Shaky himself) spelled it differently

Medogsfat: It comes from one Shakespears many plays I believe. Shakespear's . Argh. I'm sorry. I can't help it.

But "All that glitters is not gold" makes sense because it's true. Tinsel glitters and it's not gold and therefore "All that glitters is not gold". It's not that the winning slogan is awkward - it's just plain wrong!

I've just received an email from B&O telling me that they've found a winner for their Beolab 9 slogan competition. With respect to the winner (and the setter of the competition) whose first languages are probably not English, it doesn't make sense. I assume the winner was trying to say that the Beolab 9 is a jewel that can't be worn

Oooh...that looks very, very nice. Can't wait to see the 3s in white too, Lee. I reckon they'll look amazing too. There's something very '2001' about white, futuristic things
