Toshiba Execs Declare HD DVD Not Dead Yet

Lucas123 writes "HD DVD proponent Toshiba remains defiant that its format will not succumb to the mounting tsunami of support for Blu-ray Discs. Akio Ozaka, head of Toshiba America Consumer Products, said at CES today that he was surprised by Warner's decision." It should also be noted that the HD DVD group has cancelled many of their meetings at CES.

Okay, since you are the guy who did this, maybe you could buy a Blu-ray player now and kill that format as well. While I've got you here, maybe you could grab a copy of Windows Vista or did you buy that already?

It ain't over till the fat lady sings...

Optical disk porn is irrelevant, most self respecting geeks masturbate to online porn. If you're watching set-top pornyou're either training for the masturbation olympics, or are too broke to own a computer (and likely too broke to own an HDTV).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must address a popup window about squirting teens.

"I'm not dead!"

"What?"

""Nothing -- here's your nine pence."

"I'm not dead!"

"Here -- he says he's not dead!"

"Yes, he is."

"I'm not!"

"He isn't."

"Well, he will be soon, he's very ill."

"I'm getting better!"

"No, you're not -- you'll be stone dead in a moment."

"h, I can't take him like that -- it's against regulations."

"I don't want to go in the cart!"

"Oh, don't be such a baby."

"I can't take him..."

"I feel fine!"

"Oh, do us a favor..."

"I can't."

"Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long."

"Naaah, I got to go on to SCO's -- they've lost nine today."

"Well, when is your next round?"

"Thursday."

"I think I'll go for a walk."

"You're not fooling anyone y'know. Look, isn't there something you can do?"

"I feel happy... I feel happy.

[whap]"

"Ah, thanks very much."

"Not at all. See you on Thursday."

"Right."
