Edit individual notes in a polyphonic recording

Celemony, maker of Melodyne, software for pitch-shifting and time-stretching music have made a new breakthrough with their product. Polyphonic recordings, a guitar chord for instance, can now have each individual note within that chord be editable.
Major chords can become minor etc, not just shifted up or down in pitch. A whole song could potentially be created from one chord sample. Watch the video that shows this amazing technology in action.

Key facts

	Access individual notes in chords and polyphonic audio: see them, grab them, edit them
	Audio, not MIDI! while editing single chord notes is common for MIDI, it is a world premiere for audio recordings. Patent pending.
	Examples of use: tune a guitar after recording, correct harmony vocals that are out of tune, or fix their timing, turn major chords to minor (and vice versa), switch tone scales, mute single notes, remix volume levels, etc. – all after the performance is already taped!
	All Melodyne tools available: pitch shifting, time stretching, formants, amplitude – you name it ...

Cooling computer chips with heat

MSI is working on on a cooling fan for computer chips that would run off the heat generated by that chip. The concept, already in the working prototype stage, uses a Stirling Engine to power a fan instead of using an additional power tap. It's part of their green initiative. Cool :)
