It is a tiny plot point, but I’ll count it. A handful of Hexbugs get a blurry bit part in the premier of the new Knight Rider series on NBC.

[update:]

I took the time to watch the show last night and it was enjoyable.  I’ll give it a thumbs up.  There were a lot of corny tech bits, plenty of unbelievable stuff, and crazy plot connections, but it was fun and entertaining.

HD DVD is Dead

Toshiba was ready to dump its money-losing HD DVD business, with news that the company is prepared to cease manufacturing software and hardware, at a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars

The fight is over.  HD-DVD has lost.  Of course this shouldn’t be a surprise since the porn industry switched camps during AVN.  So look forward to cheaper Blu-Ray players as more manufacturers get on board to produce them and an end to the consumer confusion of which disk to buy.
