Samsung finds that zero LCD flat-panel sales in the USA will not impact their business at all? That's like saying they were never selling them here to begin with.

What good is cutting the cord the signal is on if you still have to supply POWER by cord? Oops, I guess cowsumers (see Mark and Marshall above) will find this useful, but since a cord, or two, is already being run then I must be missing something.

Yeah, its just that HD DVD ain't one of them. :)

They claim, but its not been proven. Much like projector and flat panel manufacturers making contract ratio claims knowing no one on the planet has the financial means to gain access to measuring equipment to prove their lies as such.

I wonder if these will finally work on DirecTV's HRxx HD DVRs. They haven't in the past.

Never underestimate stupid in large numbers.

10 TB of disk space would cost $1,000. What numb nuts has allowed themselves to be kicked hard and long enough to be impressed with this over-priced boutique product?

Considering for this expenditure I can buy 2.5 Terabytes of disk space, I could conceivably rip 100 single-layer BD movies. Then considering the costs of writable single-layer BD media, I could buy a TB worth of additional disk space for every four-layers of equivalent capacity.

Then there is the whole darn question of BD media costs as a viable solution for movies unless you are a) personally authoring your own content, b) need a optical disk solution for mobility, and c) just cannot deal with mobile hard disk transport for one's mobility needs.

The math is definitely lost in translation. Read the article here: http://www.miamiherald.com/business/story/993255.html

How is it going to cost the average FPL customer in this Solar City $0.31 per month, yet its going to cost $300 Million to build? The project is to serve 19,500 homes. That means the average monthly revenue is going to be about $6,000 for those 19,500 homes in the Solar City.

$300 million financed over eternity at negative interest rate somehow is equating to an FPL (Florida Power & Light) monthly cost of $6K? What am I missing here?

Common sense or dillusional mathematics?

Part of the problem is that cable operators are not Federally regulated. They pushed this down to the states, and they in turned pushed it onto the counties. Its a county-level franchise agreement. If your county doesn't care about you--except for your property taxes, of course--then you should fight the battle on the county level first.
