Toshiba Execs Declare HD DVD Not Dead Yet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they're-doing-science-and-they're-still-alive dept.

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?

    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.
