This fall NBC scheduled Jay Leno’s new talk show five nights a week in primetime, getting rid of dramas at that hour. But Leno’s ratings took a nosedive almost immediately, hurting the lead in to the local news on many NBC affiliates. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122372384

The Loudness Wars: Why Music Sounds Worse
As we come to the end of the decade, we turn to one of the more dramatic changes we’ve heard in music over those 10 years: It seems to have gotten louder. We’re talking about compression here, the dynamic compression that’s used a lot in popular music. There’s actually another kind of compression going on today — one that allows us to carry hundreds of songs in our iPods.

Rectangles Vs. Triangles: The Great Sandwich Debate

One decision you’ll probably make with ease is whether to cut the sandwich into triangles or rectangles. If you go for the diagonal slice, you’re in good company. Chefs, foodies, an architect and even a mathematician all told us that diagonal rules. But why? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120914097
