A wise man once said that he only tells people one third of what he's doing. That way, they can hate, only on that 1/3rd. W1, can't you relate? You always had a few haters to deal with at any given time. Are you hater free now? Nonetheless, it has been interesting to see so many companies partner with Yahoo in order to keep them from Microsoft. I guess the enemy of my enemy is a friend concept is being played out live and in the flesh. Every software, web type of company is doing their best to prevent the merger. Newscorp, AOL, Google are the biggest three conspirators but there are a lot of underground conversations being had as well. All of the MS haters are trying to coax Yahoo into maintaining their sovereignty.
The High Definition DVD battle is now over. Why? Because Best Buy and Walmart said so. This is something to take a note of. The specification of choice was decided by the Channel and not the customer. When businesses make decision, it usually has to do with profit and not the consumer. So basically we as consumers sat back and allowed the most expensive DVD format to win. Ignorance is bliss, and also expensive. This is scary. When the channel has influence on the development, this usually spells doom for the consumer.
