Toshiba officially announced they are going to reducing the production and shipping of HD-DVD and generally, stop producing it. They realized that HD-DVD is losing the war and pull the plug fast before there's more losses coming their way.
One of the main reasons for their losses are that they did not had as much support as the Blu-Ray -- Blu-Ray is the standard optical drive for PS3 while Xbox 360 didnt do the same to HD-DVD -- which lead to the current outcome. Blu-Ray also had much support from some big name like Wal-mart, NetFlix and Best Buy, which is what HD-DVD and Toshiba lacks.
While Hollywood studios like Warner Brothers had already stated that it'll exclusively support Blu-Ray, others that initially support the HD-DVD format, like Universal, had been confirmed - changing their format from HD-DVD to Blu-Ray DVD.
Now we can all enjoy Transformers In Blu-Ray DVD Format. Cheers.
Yet another problem still persist... Blu-Ray is still soo freakin expensive. Blah. With the main rival going down, Blu-Ray prices is gonna drop later-than-sooner. Geez.

Yahoo Rejects Microsoft's "Marriage Proposal"!!!

Yahoo says no. Microsoft in 'tears'.
Crushed are their dreams to access Yahoo's 50 million user database, where they will attempt in using it to compete with Google. I guess Microsoft wont stop until they monopolize everything they could.
Guess now the peoples in Google are happily partying now. lol. Before this they have planned to thwart Microsoft's plan for revenge. Microsoft had almost crushed Google's wish in acquiring the online ad company, DoubleClick, in a 1.2 billion deal. Now Google can take a short rest... but not for long.
Why?
Because it seems like Microsoft would not give up that easily (considering their past records), and although Yahoo had initially rejected the deal, they might still consider the merge... if Microsoft can offer more cash. Seems like there's still possibility for the born of "Micro-Hoo" ( Micro-soft + Ya-Hoo ) ...
Well, given the situation how advanced our computer era is now, there's a saying that goes like, "If Microsoft were to start over all again today, they dare not put up the price tags on their software like what they does now. This is the age of freeware."
Guess that only time would tell. Whatever the outcome is, it seems like the consumer are the one that will take on the results. So let us wish that one day, freeware will force Microsoft to lower their software prices.
