Hulu Lands! iTunes Better Step Up

Hulu Lands! iTunes’ Better Step Up

Bottom line–free is free. Okay, I know some of us guard our precious minutes each day like we’re Warren Buffett and we huff and puff while watching ads that run before our favorite web videos, TV shows or online whatever. I’m certainly one of those people and, yes, it gives me great power to rant and sigh as I sit through the commercials. But in the end, I’ll drive and park seven blocks away to avoid paying a $3 valet tab, AND I’ll sit through commercials if I don’t gotta pay one penny. So after five months of private beta testing Hulu has officially launched and I’ll say it here first, it’s going to kick some major bootie.

The HD War is officially over… HD-DVD is done.

Posted by David C. Fein
February 19th, 2008


Short and to the point:

After…

…Warner Bros. Chose BluRay over HD-DVD… HD-DVD camp chose to show shock at this instead of ‘business as usual’…
…Best Buy and Netflix Chose BluRay Support over HD-DVD…

and finally…

…Wal-Mart chooses BluRay over HD-DVD.

That’s it folks. Toshiba has chosen to cease production of both HD-DVD players and media. The game goes to BluRay.

Either stock up on your HD-DVD discs now while you can, or trade in your old HD-DVDs for BluRays today.

Set and Match…. or… Checkmate!

P.S. Universal has already announced upcoming BluRay support for all titles.

Toy Story Series Gets 3D Digital Makeover

Pixar and Disney have just announced that both Toy Story I & II are being re-rendered in actual 3D for re-release in October 2009, as a prelude to March 2010’s release of Toy Story III–also in 3D. But Why would they go through all of the effort re-rendering both I & II when so much is being converted to 3D from an original 2D format. Why? The answer after the break….
