WTF?

Is this action by sony even legal?

They sold me a product with well marketed X feature and then remove it with a software patch. The capability is still there they just don't want me to use it anymore.

This can't be ok.

Ultimate editions of Vista will ' run' on 512MB systems.

Unless running the OS isn't your objective but only a step-stone to do something else. In that case your screwed.

The PSP: what's its future?

Stop

PsP2

They need to redesign the psp from scratch. Make it smaller, with a touchscreen, better battery and cell phone capabilities while keeping compatibility with psp games. They also need to remove the burden of UMD and have some kind of download service for backwards compatibility and digital distribution, preferably making psp2 game digital distributed only.

No so evil

Like Maty said, no one has to sign up to AdWords, it just works because a lot of people use google. They pay good money for people to show their ads in their sites and they keep people comming back with the quality of their search engine.

But I repeat, no one HAS to use AdWords, AdSense or Google search. They have a monopoly for their merits and they keep the competition 2-3 steps behind. When Google stats leveraging their monopoly like MS does with Windows, I'll be the first to trow a stone.

Warner to back a single HD disc format?

Mustang

Sell more?

How so? BR has been selling more software, about twice HD ammount, whilst HD has been selling more hardware(using HD camp logic that Ps3 doesn't count as stand-alone player).

For warner, I guess selling more software is more expressive, but I don't know who's paying them more. ;)

Nice write-up TS

All very good points, but even with all the problems with both formats, I believe adoption would be more wide spread if there was only one or if MS wasn't supporting(including financialy) HD.

VOD doesn't seem to be a good solution to me, not while DRM is still master of that domain and movies bought from diferent services carry different DRMs that aren't necessarely compatitble with my HTPC, DTV, mobile, my car video video player or even DLNA-able.
