We all die a little inside today. http://www.sprinklerhead.com/2008/02/19/hd-dvd-loses-we-all-die-a-little-inside-today/ http://www.sprinklerhead.com/2008/02/19/hd-dvd-loses-we-all-die-a-little-inside-today/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:03:11 +0000 Jeremiah Owen http://sprinklerhead.com/2008/02/19/hd-dvd-loses-we-all-die-a-little-inside-today/ Kind of a bummer. I had been hoping that HD-DVD would pull out a win but alas it wasn’t meant to be.  Even though they never got around to implementing it Mandatory Managed Copy was the big piece that made me hope for HD-DVD. Managed copy would allow you to not only make copies of your HD-DVDs but also potentially move the content to other non-HD-DVD devices. It is a part of the Blu-Ray spec but is not mandatory and doubt it will be ever used.  A real shame. I had only purchased about 25 HD-DVDs so I am not too bad off, I had read the writing on the wall about 6 months ago and picked up a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player and now have about 35 Blu-ray Discs. In one sense I am just glad the format war is over and now I no longer have to worry I am building an obsolete library. Feel sorry for my brother though who has about 100 HD-DVD movies, man if my investment in 25 hurts I can only imagine how 4 times that investment has got to feel…. ouch! RIP HD-DVD.

Looks like the unanimous feeling is Leopard is worth the price of admission. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy tomorrow morning, and still wrestling with deciding whether or not to bite the bullet and order a new Mac desktop since my Vista box is having fits. Yeah I know I am stretching to justify but man o man do those Mac Pros just cook.Leopard

Not looking good. Let’s all hope good ole Ben Bernanke doesn’t drop the rate again further damaging the dollar and fueling inflation. The piper is coming to town folks and he’s coming to collect everything, not just the kids.It’s looking more and more like 1987 all over again. Brace yourselves.1987 Stock Crash
