Dude, here's more.

If you notice the Digital Video cameras have two different data transfer standards. One standard is based upon IEEE-1394 (firewire) and the other is USB.

The new MediaCenter PC's from Hewlett Packard are empty on all shelves in our region (I checked throughout December). Every store that MSFT lists as carrying the product stated that they were unable to keep it on the shelf longer than a few hours.

The price point for the new box is $2500 and typically includes DVD rippers.

I think Mr. Gates is a bit po'd with Hollywood. Is it any wonder why Mr. Eisner had to kiss Mr. Gates hand in NYC?

I saw last week an ad on ABC TV's This Week with George Stephanopoulouse... the ad was for ... you guessed it... MSFT!

So, MSFT dumps ABC some ad revenue! Shows you how desperate the situation is at ABC/Disney. They got tired of paying ABC for Disney cruise line and Disneyland ads. No one watches the ads anyway.

After the MSFT ad was on, I switched back to Tony Snow (THHHHPTTHHHTT! to the Eisner camp).

Back to the DVD burner!
