  1. Re:A bit off topic! on Things Are Going From Bad To Worse For Apple In India (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank God, I thought it was being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.

  2. Re:Why no go back to horses sometime? on 100-Year-Old Electric Car Design Makes a Comeback · · Score: 1

    Congratulations on making it through a Gene Wolfe book. That is a feat in and of itself. Its hard to find a Fantasy/SF author who spent more words saying less, and no time whatsoever in writing a story that is interesting.

  3. What a load on Sony Paid Warner Bros. $400 Million to Go Blu-Ray? · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen such poor research since the last time Dan Rather did a hatchet job on Dubyas Air National Guard Service. From the start, Toshiba made multi million dollar payments to studios (Universal and Paramount) to go HD-DVD only. Warner announced before Christmas they would be making a decision depending upon sales figures. The sales figures (which can be seen at www.thedigitalbits.com) show that at the end of last year, there were more BD sales than HD sales. Yes, Sony did stick a BD drive in the PS3 to get market share. That would account for the pathetic sales numbers (in comparison to X-Box 360 and WII). However, that PS3 is the best BD platform out there. Good for Sony. Toshiba went the cheaper route with a reduced capacity 2nd generation DVD format. They got it to market quicker. Sony was behind in finished product until recently, but gave us a better format overall.

    I don't think that work means what you think it means.

    And our respect for him after he put Ewoks and Jar-Jar Stinks on the screen.

  6. Re:'Twas always this way on The Sci-Fi Movie Stigma · · Score: 1

    Not quite. Originally Harlan Ellison came out with a screenplay that was actually related to the underlying subject (perish the thought). However, Ellison being Ellison, and studio heads being clowns, his screenplay was never used.

    You couldn't be further from reality on a mescal binge.
