The U.S. House of Representatives, in a voice vote on the floor, has passed the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (HR 1084) and sent it to the Senate. The bill would require the FCC to create a loudness standard preventing broadcast commercials from being louder than the program material into which they are inserted. Several other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, France and Russia, have already established such legal standards.

About This Blog:
Integrating complex electronic projects requires industry individuals keep abreast of the latest technological trends.
Some things are important, many ironic, others outright frauds, and a few are just so very wrong. Occasionally the original technological goal and downstream results are in hilarious conflict.
Usually "the latest trends" go back fifty to one hundred years in their development and are only new to the uninformed. In most every case, the ancients have truly stolen our inventions!
As far as we know, this is the only place that collects them and lets you celebrate them for yourself. We'd love to hear from you if you have something we've missed!
