Barence writes "Apple and music labels are reportedly in discussions to raise the audio quality of of the songs they sell to 24-bit. The move could see digital downloads that surpass CD quality, which is recorded at 16 bits at a sample rate of 44.1kHz.

An anonymous reader writes "A few students at Carnegie Mellon University outfitted weather balloons with air quality sensors, resulting in huge glowing balloons that respond to surrounding air quality. Their Instructables page shows that pretty much anyone can make these using a PIC, a tri-colored LED, and some off-the-shelf air quality sensors (about $10 each): 'This Instructable will show you how to make giant, super cool, glowing balloons that react to surrounding air quality. Inside each balloon is a tri-colored LED. This LED reacts to data from an air quality sensor, turning green, yellow or red based on low, average, and high values.'"pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F08%2F06%2F2314207%2FDIY-Air-Quality-Balloons" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=DIY+Air+Quality+Balloons%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9urJi1" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/08/06/2314207/DIY-Air-Quality-Balloons?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1746418amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/c991826/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tdACUqImOtb_zgkC18jJSNj7uoI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tdACUqImOtb_zgkC18jJSNj7uoI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tdACUqImOtb_zgkC18jJSNj7uoI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tdACUqImOtb_zgkC18jJSNj7uoI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/5582chk3HX0" height="1" width="1"/
