Wired News - Discs Are So Dead

Wired News - Discs Are So Dead:
"We live in the era of the shiny little disc. Over the past decade, consumers have purchased well over 10 billion CDs and DVDs. And if you believe the electronics makers, optical discs are now entering their golden age. In the coming months, you're going to hear a lot about two new disc technologies, Blu-ray and HD-DVD, and the powerful coalitions that aim to bring them to market. With Sony and other device manufacturers on one side and Toshiba and Hollywood on the other, the fight has the makings of a brutal VHS versus Betamax-style war."

It's a relief to hear someone understands where things are inevitably going.
