Thanks for posting that Anand (anandtech?). I'm so grateful for people who have the passion to pursue their dreams and share them with the rest of us.

Indeed. As one who was active in our hobby in the Pre-Dolby days, I can attest that it was his thinking about signal processing (Dolby NR), not just transmission, that spawned a thousand innovations by those who "got it". His first product seems simple, even obvious, now, but as with many innovative thinkers it is obvious because he saw what others did not.
