Would definitely root for Maria Sharapova. A hottie sweating hard in the tennis court? Give me Australian open any time.

WRONG has it right. HD DVD was actually the first format to be released to use a blue wavelength laser.

It’s really sad how so many conspiracy theories have come up, when in fact, what’s more important is to mourn and pray for her soul instead of trying to point the finger on whoever is at fault.

it is very easy to say who can be behind Bhutto’s assasination given what Musharaff did for the past few months. One thing is for sure, someone wanted Bhutto dead, and unfortunately they succeeded. At the end of the day, let’s just pray that this will be solved and not be a part of unsolved assasinations.

First off, both HD DVD and BluRay use blue lasers. Look it up. The formats are technically very comparable, but the encoding algorithims are different, that is why they are not compatible. In fact, blue lasers exist that can read both formats, as well as outfitted with a red laser to read DVDs and CDs. The real format war isn’t betwwen HD DVD and BluRay. Both of those technologies will go the way of the Mini Disc in my humble opinion. The real war is between propietary discs/media versus On-Demand, downloadable content….. hard formats are NOT the future. Hold on to you DVD collection you have been amassing since 2000, buy an upconverter if your eyes hurt watching them on a HDTV. Wait for the real future of media. Unless of course, you have money to burn.

How about I’m not ready to throw my DVD collection away with the 8track and sega genisis. Why do we need a new format? They sold us tv’s bigger than our houses now you need higher defention to sit 2 feet away and ignore everyone you know.

Comment on SACD, Not Just Another Ordinary Plastic Disc by Peter Barfield

Peter Barfield — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 13:19:39 +0000

I’ve been using SACD for two years now and can vouch for the benefits over standard CD. Listening to artist recordings remastered in surround sound and higher quality offers a totally different listening experience. I find I’m hearing parts of the music I just didn’t realise were in there.
Shame more titles aren’t available.

This season expect to watch more NBA action from the team of Lakers and Celtics. Both this two teams have great players like Bryant, Odom, Bynum, Garnett, Allen, and Pierce. When these two teams come face to face, expect to see the rivalry live again.
