"According to Digital Entertainment Group, Blu-ray players rank at #1 for the most wanted electronic for this holiday season. "

So they are basing this partly off some consumer surveys. Where is the sales data to support this?

He said combined with sales data.

I wouldn't expect any kind of new format to take hold within the next 10 years for a number of reasons.

1) Consumer Fatigue - Blu-Ray adoption is steady, but slower than many expected.  And the transition is not cheap.  Don't expect everyone to jump onboard some new format when the "current" one is still trying to get its own foothold.

2) Extra Space is not Particularly Needed - Theoretically they should be able to increase the number of layers on Blu-Rays to at least four (100 Gigs) and have every player out there be able to read them as long as the firmware is updated.  None of the older players should face any compatibility problems.

3) Human Eye is the Limiting Factor Now - We are at the point where the human eye is the limiting factor more than the technology.  Even the benefits of 1080i/p are only readily available once you are closer to the screen.  We can make the picture on movies look better (and to get a 100% faithful digital reproduction of a standard length movie you would need around 100 Gigs or more), but that doesn't mean we can tell the difference, or that people will have large enough screens that you could discern the difference.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
