More HD-DVD and Blueray Chaos

This is a pretty good article (by:businessweek.com) that sets the stage for the mass confusion that will hit the entertainment industry in a few months when the new "Nex-Gen DVDs" are released.

Here are some past posts on HD-DVD and Blueray tech:
02/28/06 - Sony's Betamax Redux: Betaray
01/11/06 - Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD

Google Mars

Google has released "Google Mars" which is a lot like their Google maps webpage. In Google Mars you can vist various regions on Mars and look at where mars rovers are on the planets surface.

Xbox 360 Has Been Hacked

4 months after the release, the xbox 360 has finally been hacked, allowing users to play homebrew games and apps. No word on this firmware hack being available to everyone, yet this is a major step in a fully moded 360. Read more here.

Windows Live (Beta)

I don't know which is lamer, Microsoft copying Google's Personalized Home page or copying Google's (Beta) tag on every new project. Mircrosoft has started Windows Live @ www.Live.com
which is a nicer looking (remember its all about the packaging at Mircosoft) Google Personalized start page; which can read multiple rss feeds, check your mail and weather but don't forget it can also search! This is too little too late on Mircosoft's part, what's next? Mircosoft Video.com?
