		<description><![CDATA[Most people have never heard of Marin Soljačić.  He is a physicist of Croatian descent at M.I.T. who, along with his team, invented wireless non-radiative energy transfer.  Essentially, to a layman such as you and I, wireless power.  For his work, he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Approximately one hundred years ago, Nicola Tesla begins theorizing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people are unfamiliar with Electrograph Systems.  They were one of the largest distributors of flat panel products in the United States, if not the largest.  Today, they are liquidating all of their assests.  They are another victim of the global recession that we are currently experiencing. Electrograph was founded in 1982 and they were a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First Vizio, then Pioneer, now LG?  LG (short for Life&#8217;s Good, but us old-timers remember them as Lucky Goldstar) is considering ceasing production of plasma televisions.  They have cited the global economic downturn as the reason.  That would leave only two companies, Panasonic and Hitachi, now manufacturing plasma glass. I have said it many times, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news out of Japan is that Pioneer Electronics is abandoning consumer electronics entirely.  The company forecasts losses of almost 850 million dollars through March of this year.  Of this, 40% is from the home electronics division. This does not mean people should not purchase Pioneer.  The company is not insolvent, but plans to restructure around its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I have written before, the cutoff date for analog transmission in the United States was February 12th.  This has been extended to June 12th, 2009.  This is, believe it or not, a good thing because without this extension many Americans would be without TV.  On the flipside, no TV might be considered a good [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m using the day to get caught up on projects that I have ongoing around the house, and updating all my various websites.  I have many things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting bit of news today.  As many know, the digital conversion from analog television is scheduled to take place on February 17th in the United States.  All analog transmissions will be shut down at midnight. However&#8230;there is a problem (because nothing ever goes smoothly).  The NTIA and the Department of Commerce have run into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In December, Panasonic Corporation quietly began a 9-billion dollar takeover of their rival Sanyo.  Sanyo has been on shaky financial ground since 2006, and the current global economic downturn has not emboldened their ability to recover.  Sanyo&#8217;s fall, however, was not as much due to mismanagement as one would believe.  In 2004, their semiconductor plant was destroyed following an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the United States, the digital switchover takes place early in 2009 (February 17th, to be precise).  The OTA analog frequencies will cease to function, and everything will be digital.  For some people, such as those with ATSC tuners in their televisions, will not be affected.  Neither will those people who are currently subscribing to [...]]]></description>
