  1. Comment - Universal, Amazon hop on Blu-ray bandwagon as HD DVD prices fall

    (Feb 21, 2008 - 12:30 PM)

    "Amazon's music and movie head Peter Fancy said that sales of Blu-ray discs have started to increase since Warner Bros. made the announcement to support only Sony's format, going from a 50/50 split with HD DVD to over three-quarters of high-definition movie sales."

    Wow... given all the press about how Blu-Ray discs were outselling HD DVD by 2-to-1 or 3-to-1, NOW someone mentions a near even split in disc sales. Where was that kind of detail a few months ago in those Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD "articles?"

    Ummmmm Yeah.

    And as a verizon customer, I have already been notified that increases for EVERY service will go into affect in October.

    Gee. Thanks for lightening my bill by 3% and then raising it (potentially) by 10% with the new charges.

  3. Comment - Microsoft Slims Down Windows Updates

    (Jun 30, 2005 - 12:40 PM)

    Check out the notice on the MS download page:

    This change in behavior applies only to express installation packages that are downloaded from the Windows Update site or through Automatic Updates for Microsoft Windows XP. Downloads from the Windows Update Catalog site are not affected.

    So if you use Windows Update (custom installation) or download your updates directly, then this package is of no use to you. Thanks for pointing this out to us in the post.
