Misinformed Tech Show #01 HD-DVD vs. BlueRay

I believe that the Blue-ray is going to win. Why? There lots of company that will support the Blue-ray: Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic), Mitsubishi Electric, Philips Electronics, Pioneer Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, TDK, and Thomson Multimedia. Not only that but it offer 30% more capacity then HD-DVD and is designed for recording High-Definition better then HD-DVD. What more is that Sony own's Columbia Picture and recently MGM and with the release of PS3, there going to whoop ass in the market.

The downside of Blue-ray that it will cost more then HD-DVD to produce and it Blue-ray player. But like that motto says "You get what you pay for.".

HD-DVD is going to be supported by Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, Memory-Tech, Microsoft and Intel. This is cheaper to produce the Blue-ray. It will cost 10% more then standard DVD and there might be possiblities that it can be backward compatible.

The downside of HD-DVD is that Sony own's both Columbia Picture and MGM, two gaint film company, so don't be expecting to see a movie that come's from this company or other that might join Blue-ray on HD-DVD.

Show #01 for the Disco Squirrels

Here is there description:

Today we created our first podcast. Ran into a few technical difficulties. The previous class, AM, had turned off our mic before-hand and caused us to waste the first 10 minutes of our first try. So after starting over we talked about Google topics. Google search, talk, earth, mail, fight, toolbar, guide, froogle, homepage and video. We hope to continue our talk of google in our next episode.



Abaddon, Emo-Boy, Fujin Botan and Noumenon

Also PM rocks and we hope AM's group that turned off our mic enjoys they're 200 times writing.
