Is the battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray really over?
January called, it wants its question back.
Also, streaming video is the future, but the distant future. Until the cable companies begin delivering libraries of 1080p on-demand content through their set top boxes, Blu-Ray will pull in plenty of cash.
Just about every mainstream media outlet, from national magazines to online-only news sites, require their writers and producers to seek permission, or outright ban, writing for other outlets. This guy broke a well-known rule and then plead ignorance. Waah.
If you had bothered to read even the most dumbed-down-USA-Today-version of what's going on, you'd understand the satellite is being hit at a low enough altitude to avoid contaminating the orbits of other satellites.
These missiles don't even have explosives on board: the final stage of the rocket is basically an unmanned kamikaze kill vehicle that just slams into the target at high speed, hopefully enough to break it up.
Popular Mechanics explains: Several successful anti-ballistic mile tests have been conducted from the cruisers, most frequently from the USS Shiloh, but no test has the urgency or high profile as the impending satellite shoot-down. The SM-3, when fired vertically, can target a satellite as high as 310 miles. After the third stage of the rocket is spent, the kill vehicle finds the target with forward-looking infrared sensors and steers itself into the satellite. "What we're talking about is a minor modification in software, from the Aegis system and the missile itself," Cartwright said.
Here's a neat clip of the predecessor of the X-51 hypersonic missile's scramjet engine being test fired, too bad it doesn't have sound but it's still neat.
That WGA post was made three days before Eisner's statement. Still, Eisner is the only one saying it's over. No one from WGA or any studios have said a word.

Pluto isn't a planet anymore, it shouldn't have an element named after it.
What's the Excel formula for getting laid?
Anyone remember #riskybus?
On the bright side, when they do break, you get to speak to a well-trained English speaker in California, rather than "Bob" in Mumbai.
This is them playing catch-up...homemade scat videos from Brazil were being broadcast in higher definition than YouTube.
Didn't mean to offend you, Senator.
Conceivably now a big truck AND the Internet could be fabricated out of a series of tubes!
I hear the problem originated with a drone in sector 7-G.
Oops.
Plus several million hours visiting every website in existence to determine which IPs to block.
Insurance rates there must be almost as high as New York!
Thank goodness our nation's smartest are performing such vital work.

I, for one, have met more professional baseball players and Iraq veterans than I have HD DVD owners.

And you had better have a passport...
You mean Live ID, right?
