Man, I hate being wrong and hate it even more that Blue-Ray is going to be the HD standard, but Toshiba has announced that it will no longer produce HD DVDs, making Sony’s Blue-Ray format the de facto winner.

And it’s Verizon Wireless. For $99/month. A single line. $119 if you want unlimited text.
Excuse me while my wallet runs away. Seriously, $99/month/line. Ouch.
Still, it’s a step in a very good direction of U.S. customers. A step that I hope gets cheaper over time.
Bloody Vikings!

I love it when a company has a bit of fun with their products. It’s part of the reason why I love Blizzard’s games so much.
Uh-Oh

funny air traffic controllers quotes and amusing aviation conversations
There’s a lot of them on the site, but these two have to be my favorites:
A huge C-5 cargo plane was sitting near where a small plane was waiting to take off. The private pilot got a little nervous because the military plane was closer than normal, and asked the tower to find out the intentions of the C-5. Before the tower could reply, a voice came over the radio as the C-5’s nose cargo doors opened, saying, “I’m going to eat you.”
Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): “Ground, what is our start clearance time?”
Ground (in English): “If you want an answer you must speak in English.”
Lufthansa (in English): “I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?”
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): “Because you lost the bloody war.”

Ars Technica reviews the MacBook Air
I love the size, but the hard drive speed and lack of usable external ports (not to mention the price) is a show-stopper for me. *Hugs his Asus EEE PC*
