TechByter Worldwide 2018-01-28: Looking Behind the Digital Curtain. Short Circuits. Spare Parts.




TechByter Worldwide (formerly Technology Corner) with Bill Blinn show

Summary: There's a lot of confusion about the two primary formats that digital cameras use to store images -- JPEG and raw data. It's a large and complex topic, so this week we have a large and complex section on the topic as we look behind the digital curtain. In Short Circuits: Users of Adobe Photoshop will find that this month's update includes a blockbuster feature called Select Subject, so we'll see how well it works. For the first time in more than 5 years, PC sales (Windows and Mac computers) are up ever so slightly. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Burger King has weighed in on Net Neutrality with a demonstration that includes fast burgers and slow burgers. • There's a growing need for what's called out-of-band authentication. • Cryptocurrencies are hot and now even Kodak is getting into the game.
