Panasonic Announces an End To Plasma TVs In March

Posted by timothy on from the what-will-you-use-your-plasma-torch-for-now? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You thought Halloween was for treats. Not this time. Panasonic announced to its investors today that its plasma TV business would be over by the end of March 2014." Blacker blacks and brighter whites aside, there are some good reasons for the shift.

  1. Why is Obamacare failing so badly? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    But, when in doubt, Occam's Razor remains the most useful tool in analyzing politics. Why is Obamacare failing so badly?

    Because its authors just aren't that smart, or organized, or hard-working, or detail-oriented.

    They've never done anything in their lives like run a business where accomplishment actually mattered more than bullshit.

    They've been lawyers, or academics, or politicans.

    They are, in short, the apotheosis of the post-1960s graduate student mentality... they don't actually have any skills... other than changing the world.

      You should restrict yourself to having only one window or tab open at a time in your browser.

      Why should someone who disagrees with obama restrict himself to his healthcare plan? In fact, wouldn't it be myopic to hate him solely because of it? It's not like obama hasn't made other questionable decisions, both as president and as senator. Eg, he voted for the PATRIOT act, and then renewed its provisions as president. For me, that is a large blemish on his record, regardless of his politics.

      It would be foolish to hate him because of the ACA at all. The ignorant conservatives need to get it through their thick heads that this is the Conservative pro-business plan. The Liberals want single-payer like civilized countries. If the Republicans keep acting crazy, we have no choice but to marginalize them, and they'll have no input in policy at all.
