Short News
PGA Tour Golf Hits XM Satellite Radio
There are purists who say sports are better when filtered through a radio, that the imagination fills in the visual gaps and enhances the experience. They contend they can almost smell the stale beer and sweat in the bleachers, and can tell by the crack of the bat if Derek Jeter has caught all of a Johan Santana slider. Golf, however, doesn't exactly lend itself to radio. At least, until now.

Amplifiers: Where the Power Is
Modular PAs are ready to emerge as a major growth market in Wi-Fi circuits, according to one analyst.
