Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    good, blu ray is a waste. and hd-dvd is probably more “market ready” because the players are about 1/2 the price of a blu ray player. but i think the vast majority of consumers are happy with their 20-30 dollar players that work just fine, and if you spend more then that on your movies you’d better be watching them for like 8 hours a day.
