Just as the dust settles on the battlefield, and Blu-Ray looks emergent as victor over HD DVD, Comcast leaks plans to distribute HD movies over a wicked fast download pipe to consumers.
What does this mean? If you've been sitting on the fence waiting for a clear standard you can bank on for HD movies, and you just hopped off on your way to rip off artist CompUSA before their doors close forever to buy a Blu-Ray,forget it. Hop back on the fence and wait a little more, friend.
Questioning me? Hey, I've applied my same careful math before to emerging technologies, such as the flat screen T.V. Based on careful, exacting research tracking both reducing cost and improving technologies, I figured out last year the very best course of action for updating our 14 year old Hitachi tube TV was simple: Don't.
Of course there is blowback. The kids. They've had several playdates at homes with HD on both DVD and over cable, displayed on some foolish parent's crisp and lush flat panel display. That's correct, they saw a parsley sprig in Hannah Montana's teeth and came home complaining about not seeing this in our home.
No problem. I mapped out all kids whose homes have this technology and they are blacklisted.
