For the high definition DVD format “war”, the end draws nigh. For years, the two standards, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, have battled it out claiming to offer superior quality for the consumer, over the other, and superior anti-copy protection , again over the other.

Unscrupulous Business

   Posted by: Todd    in Business

It is a common belief that big businesses care not so much for the consumer as as they do their wallets.  So why are we so surprised and angry when we read in the news reports and learn of any particular company caught red handed?  Perhaps it is because it’s the reality of it hitting us in the face, and a name to focus on.

Dirty Laundry

   Posted by: Todd    in Life

I check news web-sites everyday, as I like to keep informed on various subjects but none of those subjects the dysfunctional lives of famous people. I could care less about Britney Spears’ on-going gauntlet of self-destruction, Michael Jackson’s odd mannerisms and unpaid debts, and if Elvis is really alive or dead (he’s dead move on!). I don’t care if Yoko Ono really was the cause of the Beatle’s break-up. I don’t care if Paul McCartney ever finds love again.
