Blu-ray DVDs and the End of the World

Click here. Sony and Toshiba have broken down talks, meaning the future of home entertainment is in limbo. Sony has developed blue laser discs that are read by blue lasers, this allows the discs to hold more data, but Toshiba has created an HD-DVD, that holds more data than an original DVD. They were meeting to try and settle on one format, but it looks like the battle will be with consumers...are you ready to restart your movie collecting again? This is Toshiba's and Sony's biggest fear that you won't. And if you do, who's version will you choose? I'll let you decide next year. (Everyone knows I'm a Sony fanatic! Go Sony!!)

And something a little more darker than the end of the DVD, is the end of the world. Do you know that the good folks at CNN are trying to stay ahead of the game. That's right, CNN pre-records news profiles for things like deaths of famous people. But, did you know that Ted Turner, while still in control of CNN, order a tape made that would be broadcast in the event of the end of the world...it is strange but true. To read more, click here.

"today everyone in Hollywood died..."
"late last night Earth was invaded by cute but angry aliens..."
"today gas prices have reached a fifteen year low..."
