It’s only just beginning and they’re announcing the death of Blu-ray. Sure the newly out-to-pasture Bill Gates said a while back that optical formats will soon be irrelevant. But then when did he ever not over-promise and under-deliver?

And don’t forget Comcast is throttling the transfer rates of its Internet users. How long before the rest of the ISP monopolies are doing the same, all the while bandwidth increases on the Internet backbone are growing faster than bandwidth use?

Comcast’s 25 gigs a month might seem like a lot to transfer, until you realize one dual-layer Blu-ray disc is 50 gigs, and prototypes to 200 gigs are already in the works.
