Someone's been reading XKCD. Really, saying that the Blu ray's success is based on the amount of Porn is a cynical if not dismal statement. Although, I wouldn't put it past people today. A lot of other people commenting on this story have said that price drops would be the best thing about thing to promote the format. Frankly I think that multi media content delivery over to a device connected to a television would work just fine. It's a shame that no one ever thought of that before. Oh wait, DIVX!
Sure the world wasn't ready for it back then, but it sure is now. People are getting tired of fussing over formats. As long as the interface was simple enough for anyone to use and the prices were reasonable. Seriously, you expect Apple to do it right? No way in hell man.
