Sony Banks The Company On Blu-ray

I have a bet with my friend on which next-generation high definition video format will win. In five years, I think that Toshiba’s HD-DVD will win over Sony’s Blu-ray. Despite the technological superiority of Blu-ray over HD-DVD, I don’t think it’s what the people want or need (I think holographic technology will be better suited for our storage needs, but that’s about five years down the road). … Continue reading…Sony Banks The Company On Blu-ray

Seems managable if you didn’t have the low attention span that I do. Grrr. … Continue reading…The Quarter Is Coming To An End

Trying to pass time a few minutes before class, I glanced through the California Aggie and saw advertisement for a practice GRE test. Today, I took it with a bunch of friends — too many to type — and boy did it go well! … Continue reading…Took A Practice GRE Test
