Blue-Ray’s Dead
Looks like the boys behind Blu-Ray are up against a wall.
This morning, I was browsing PCMag and discovered deplorable sales performance last quarter for Blu-ray. For those unaware of the monicker, Blue-Ray is that spanking new the HD disc format touted to revolutionize the industry. Well… almost.
Movies Movies Movies All Year Round!

A Guinness World Record for The Pirate Bay?
There’s no doubt that a significant number of people use P2P and file-sharing networks. In its earliest days, Napster had around a million users. Then came the eDonkey and Fasttrack networks, boasting of a close to 5 million user base.

MTV Puts the ‘M’ Back In Music
So, without any real indication that they were going to do so, MTV re-launched themselves not only into the Web 2.0 world, but into what they used to be involved in, the ‘Music’ world. They opened up MTVMusic.com to the world and with it, just about every music video ever created.
It’s much higher quality [...]
