As a retired transmission engineer I hope someone will realize that capacity not compression is the end game. While one can claim doing more with less is a good thing we are not saving gasoline in the game of transmission. Instead we are trying to get as much information (received bits) as possible for a given price. Then we can play the compression game and maximize its usefulness.

silly mac people...when will they stop wasting their money. he he

Blu-Ray is superior, so my money says that it ends up failing. how many times has the FAR inferior, transparently lesser system ended up with the crown? ...the answer is "a lot." Not always, of course, but just take a look at VHS versus BETA. or how about DTS versus Dolby. or Apple versus Microsoft. In general, the less expensive, lower quality one wins. I just hope that this time is an exception, because having the lower of the two win is just getting old, and it's shortsightedness is killing us.

Intelligence, not intelligece. Typos happen.

MS did not practically make it possible for any of us to be on the internet right now. They may have been there at practically the right time to get their business as large as it is now, but are by no means the end all, be all of the intelligece on earth as it relates to computers. From the beginning, now, or the future....
