Quote of the Day: "Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense." ~ Carl Sagan On this Day: In 1986, Steve Wozniak left Apple Computer. Streamlining Production at Public TV As much fun as they were to specify, install and operate, the majority of master control rooms installed in the early 2000s are now approaching end of life.

'Casting Wars' Augur Next Airwaves/Attention Battle ~ by Gary Arlen In Morgan's vision, the handheld devices will become "tuners," pulling IP video from LTE airwaves, then transmitting—or "casting"—the shows to the big screen.
