I also followed the battle between Sony’s Blu-Ray and Toshiba’s HD-DVD closely for several years before the end in early 2008. Here we are, half [...]

I am waiting on a few more books to come in. I now have roughly 3 on [...]
On the 9th anniversary of Google getting of the ground I’ve decided to step out from behind the curtain for five minutes and provide perspective.
