1. Comment - Fox: No Plans to Support HD DVD

   (Dec 5, 2005 - 3:54 PM)

   I have to laugh at all you guys who bring the rootkit issue into this.
   Sony screwed up. They backed the wrong horse. Then when told they backed the wrong horse, hey refused to admit it might be true, thus screwing up more.
   This placed a vulnerabily on probably 5 to 10 percent of the computers out there. That sucks and yes, they should be held accountable.
   (The sarcasm starts here)
   So lets boycott Sony. You see that drive at the top of your tower? Ya, throw that away. Because pehaphs it wasnt made by Sony, but the laser is it was. Oh, those discs that hold your backup data? Could not have been made without technology made by sony. Those CD's in your car? The CD player? The MP3 player? ANY commonly used digital media of almost any kind? Ya, thats a Sony based laser. Now giving credit where credit is due, Philips was doing the same thing at the same time, but Sony implemented it into the main stream.
   
   Yes, they screwed up. But the second you decide to boycott Sony for rootkit, how about boycotting Microsoft for almost every other vulnerability your computer has? Mind you I am not saying boycott Microsoft. I am saying base your desicions on the products, not the company that makes them. Not what they have done in the past, but what they are doing now and what they will do in the future.
   
   By the way, Yes, I support Blue-Ray, as I know that no matter how much protection it has at one point flexibility will become a consumer, hence corporate issue. However as much as I support it, I don't believe Sony's gonna win this one. But thats alright. They have basically already declared themselves winners of the console wars and their's hasnt even been released yet. Is there a way to make sweet sweet love to a dime-size NVidia chip?
