VHS has gone the way of the dinosaur. DVD is on its way out. Blu-ray is the flavor of the month, but how long will that month last?
Netflix and iTunes already offer streaming movie rentals to computers and game consoles, and more and more DVD and Blu-ray players are coming equipped with the ability to stream video from online services. Today, Best Buy announced that it’s adding CinemaNow’s DVD streaming service to “every Web-connected device” the retail chain sells.
So I have to ask the inevitable question: How long will it be until physical media goes away forever, in favor of …read more

I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention or not, or perhaps don’t even care. If you don’t care, you might want to start paying attention, because at some point recent changes to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act may make you pay for your own content multiple times.

With the recent changes software companies are being told they can’t produce software that would let consumers make copies of the DVD’s they’ve already purchased.

Screenlife Games has finally released a version of their addictively fun game Scene It? for the Xbox 360. I don’t know if …read more

If you’re like me, you’ve been using Windows since it was 3.1. You were amazed at the difference between 3.1 and 95, 98 was your average upgrade, you never really understood Me, and XP has been a pretty great ride.
If I am correct, and you are like that, then you’re probably really looking forward to the final release of Vista aren’t you? Although, you’re guess is as good as mine as to when that day will actually occur.
So, with all that knowledge of the variety of reincarnations of the operating system, why don’t you share that one great nugget of …read more

Okay, not quite yet, but a couple of items I’ve just read sure make a good case for that to become an actual possibility.
The article on Xbox Circle pushes the point by stating how much Sony is poised to lose if their PlayStation3 is as successful as they’re expecting. The challenge though, is that the more successful they are at launching and selling, the more money they lose.
