David Bowie's Technical Savvy (Score 1)

Having worked with Mr. Bowie once (a few years ago) on a web-based project I find it easy to believe he had some say in the chosen format. While not an overly technical man he is always quite eager to learn about new technologies and when I spoke to him he was well on his way to geekdom. For the last two years he's been pushing all his spare time into the web and multimedia development so I could see him having at least a rudimentary understanding of audio compression. (not that I'm agreeing with his choice, he probably just made a bad judgement call). And, if I'm not mistaken, his son is sort of up on his technologies too. I wouldn't be suprised if he had something to do with this as well. Bowie may be a shrewd business man but he's damn smart too.
