"You can use a filter to make just about any image look good. And now there's a company that wants to do the same for audio.
The company AfterMaster, an audio technology company partly owned by Justin Timberlake, has launched a tiny chip at CES that can be built into any piece of hardware to greatly enhance the sound quality for any device. "We set out to do something big, we set out to change audio in a big way," said company CEO Larry Ryckman, president and CEO. Dozens of audio enhancements have been made over the years, but every audio enhancement available today hurts something about the sound in some way, Ryckman said. AfterMaster, though, set out to find the perfect filter for sound, Ryckman said. "We found what we think is the secret sauce. We found a way to take any kind of audio and make it sound better," he said. Read MoreAn ATM that takes your devices for cash on the spot
The Los Angeles-based company spent six years developing its audio technology and has partnered with ON Semiconductor to create a microchip that can be put into anything from a hearing aid or earbud to a TV. AfterMaster's technology can also be embedded via code into any computing device, Ryckman said. "Audio is really becoming a buzzword with everything going on with sound bars and what Apple is doing," he said. "Audio has trailed (compared to TV displays) and was kind of the forgotten piece, but there are hundreds of millions of dollars being spent now on promoting audio." AfterMaster attracted the attention of Timberlake late last year, and he's helping take the company to the next level, Ryckman said.

"We didn't pay Justin; he is an owner in the company. So he has a vested interest in making it work. And he is so well respected, and he has so many connections," Ryckman said.
Timberlake made his way out to CES in Las Vegas on Wednesday to help promote the company and meet with audio company execs to discuss AfterMaster, Ryckman said. "Justin is friends with these guys, he's friends with the CEO of Sony and Panasonic and that's valuable for us," he said. "His help for us is his desire to move the company forward and use his relationships to bring us business." The company wasn't ready to announce any partnerships with audio makers, but did say that it was also going to be getting into the hardware space with its own products later this year. The company will announce its devices midyear and won't launch until the holiday season"
The Recent News is an Indication of whats ahead for Alexco!....The Chart for $AXU is looking interesting and The Gap up over 1 Dollar is like a Magnet....Alexco Resource Could become the Silver Story of 2015....HEADS UP!!!
The number of merchants accepting Bitcoin exploded from 36,000 to 82,000. The number of Bitcoin wallets more than doubled from 3.19 million to 7.95 million. Bitcoin ATMs went from just four to 341.
And Bitcoin investment accelerated as well.
It especially picked up at the very end of 2014, doubling from the third quarter to the fourth quarter.
For the year, venture capital investment in Bitcoin rose to $336.87 million - more than triple the previous year.
With the $75 million investment in Coinbase, the tally for 2015 is already $80 million. And we're only three weeks into the year.
The trend is likely to keep accelerating. Now that several heavy hitters have started investing in Bitcoin, more will follow.
One thing we know about Wall Street types is that they all fear missing out on the next hot trend. And as the Bitcoin venture capitalists like to point out, Bitcoin technology will likely be as disruptive as the Internet was 20 years ago.
So now that the New York Stock Exchange and Vikram Pandit are investing in Bitcoin, a lot of Wall Street antennae are going up.
The amount of Wall Street money invested in Bitcoin will snowball in 2015. The boost from this new source of capital will cause total investment in Bitcoin to double or even triple again this year.
Also, remember that Bitcoin startups will expand as they gain more capital. For example, Coinbase plans to use its fresh funding to pay for fees to obtain licenses to transmit money, as well as to expand its global footprint from 19 to 30 countries.
That kind of expansion will attract still more big-name attention - and further rounds of investment.
ECIG. Sporty, I also wanted to ask what you think about the recent PR especially about the RS. Personally I still don't like the RS unless it was way up north of $.50.
