The History of Music Recording
The History of Music Recording
Believe it or not, it was only 130 years ago when the music recording industry got its start. In 1878 Thomas Edison invented a machine called the phonograph that could record sound. He had originally planned on using it to relay telegraph messages and for automated speech via the telephone. He had already invented a year and a half before.
Technically, Edison had figured out that the needle could prick a paper tape and recor… Continue

Analog Or Digital Music - Which is Better
Analog Or Digital Music - Which is Better
By Dennis Albro
There have been many discussions on the merits and deficiencies of both analog and digital recording and reproduction of music. I believe that each have their place in today's music scene. When I was in the music business during the 70's, analog ruled the recording industry, and the 'Holy Grail' was to record and reproduce music in the most accurate manner without

A More Perfect Union
(Credit: Schneids/The 404)If you've ever petitioned Facebook to add a "Dislike" button to the site, you might get a kick out of a new antisocial networking site that lets your friends anonymously rag on you from the privacy of their homes. Failin.gs is currently in beta, but soon you'll be able to hit your friends up for anonymous comments about your mundane status updates. No, it doesn't integrate with Facebook itself (thankfully), but hopefully it'll force you to think twice about telling everyone what you had for dinner last night.
After 30 years of the same boring design, Heinz finally wised up and redesigned its ketchup packets. Fans of fast food will be treated to a new packet that opens up on BOTH ends: the top features the same tear-off perforation, but the new bottom opens to reveal a section for dunking your fries, which happens to be one of the most popular applications for the condiment! Check out this video on CBSNews.com for more details and look for the new packets coming to fast food joints near you!
Doppelganger week!
(Credit: The 404 )Last week's viral "Post your doppelganger to Facebook" meme might violate Facebook's terms of service, but we're featuring our own celebrity photos on today's episode anyway...with a twist. Check out our cartoon doppelgangers above and let us know what you think: does Wilson really look like the Asian kid from "Up?" Does Jeff turn into a green-faced ogre at night? And should I seriously consider growing a goatee? Sound off by leaving us a voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET or send an e-mail to the404(at)cnet{dot}com.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

The 404 Podcast 511: Where the more you ignore us, the closer we get
King-size thanks to Props Guy Jim! (Click for larger image.)
(Credit: Jim Sleeth)All the recent frenzy over the Apple iPad might be too much for the tech nerds of the world to handle. Tuesday, Josh Topolsky of Engadget reported on a disturbingly high volume of "ugly, pointless, and frankly threatening" comments on the Web site and took action by indefinitely closing all comments on the blog. We appreciate Josh's wake-up call, although vocalizing one's opinion through anonymous blog comments is just another extension of the Internet.
We definitely empathize with the site's moderators, however, who must be tearing their hair out trying to protect Engadget visitors from trolls, predators, idiots, and all the other lobos on the Web. Good luck with that, guys!
In other tech news, TechCrunch gives us a first look at Google's interpretation of a modern tablet device, as imagined by Glen Murphy, Google Chrome's designer. The video you see on the site is just a mock-up, however, so don't get your hopes up! At this point, we'll take just about any tablet that doesn't have an Apple on it.
We can't thank our buddy Props Guy Jim enough for making the awesome "The 404 Bunch" poster you see to the left. Jim is the same gentleman who came through with 3k temporary tattoos, so thanks again! Look for a full-size poster coming to a 404 studio near you.
