sanjay,

notice this time, i've directed this post to you so you aren't confused.

i struggle to understand your opinion in this post, let alone see any point to it.

maybe you would be kind enough to do a paragraph-by-paragraph post in reply to these 2 files:

dolby: the benevolent, best technology purveying, apolitical, most consistently professional, most innovative surround format czars. i prefer 900 ton gorilla.

dolby is established as the standard for DSS, DTV, DVD and HDTV, yet dts is preferred by a clear majority of people who care about sound. surround music, surround music video and soundtracks...name the largest selling titles, they are dts.

to tell us that they've acheived this by cheating, or 'boosting the LFE 10db', or threatening the life of a journalist (who we've never heard of) is pointless.

get it? that means there is no point.

maybe you should school guys like tom jung who have obviously succumbed to dts' (and apparently Sony's) underhanded, misleading, bogus, criminal rise to a distant #2 in a field of 2. after all, those guys have much more impact (as obvious players) on the consumer's loss in this conspiracy.

jeff...still waiting to hear the where and when of this bet you've proposed. i never refuse easy money.
