TALKBACK:
In response to: Circuit City CEO Pitches Concept Stores, Lonnie Pulliam, retired communications employee, Greenville, S.C.
"When Circuit City fired all of its most knowledgeable employees it snowballed their downward spiral in the electronics industry. I used to shop there almost exclusively, but now I know twice as much as any store employee. Try and get one of their employees to sit down with you and explain all the positives and negatives about each of the different brands of the same product they sell. Circuit City knows nothing about selling high-end electronics to the class of people who shop at Ethan Allen Stores."
In response to: Xbox HD DVD Gets Price Cut, Bill Sheppard, Silicon Valley
"I doubt this will do much for sales — it was already by far the cheapest way to get into HD DVD, but it has too many compromises (noise, no lossless audio output, etc.) to be the choice of most, and an extra $20 off won't help much."
In response to: TiVo Shows $299 HD Box, Paul Molinari, marketing director of Tweeter, Canton, Mass.
"This appears to be Tivo's killer app — finally! The box is at a terrific price point and serves movies, music, Web, HDTV and HD-DVR — all using a well-designed interface. As content management and multi-room A/V distribution continues its surge to the consumer forefront, the custom A/V industry needs to get behind this product (and category) with much enthusiasm."

Reporters' Notebook
Another day, another opportunity to lament my decision to be an editor and not a corporate lawyer. The music industry has once again decided that suing its customers is more efficient than formulating a real business strategy in the digital age. This time, it's ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) firing up the legal machine, suing a slew of Seattle bars and restaurants for doing the unspeakable: playing music for their customers. — John Laposky
If the success of the Baby Einstein DVDs has taught us anything, it's that the way to a parent's wallet is through appeals to the child's brain. So it's not surprising to see Picaboo, a photo-book-making Web site, trumpeting this American Psychological Association (APA) study that purports to show that children respond better to photographic images than illustrated representations. What better way to help your child get into that cutthroat preschool than to give him/her a photo book! — Greg Scoblete
