Et tu, blu-ray?


I come to bury HD DVD, not to praise it;
The evil that technology does lives after it,
The good is oft interred with the obsolete,
So let it be with HD DVD ... The noble Blu-Ray
Hath told you HD DVD was capricious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath HD DVD answered it ...
Here, under reign of Blu-ray and the rest,
(For Blu-ray is an honourable format;
So are they all; all honourable formats)
Come I to speak in HD DVD's funeral ...
HD DVD was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Blu-ray says it was capricious;
And Blu-ray is an honourable format….
Blu-ray hath brought many film titles to your home:
"Spider-Man," "Close Encounters" and more;
I thrice prognosticated HD DVD the winner of the format battles,
Which HD DVD repeatedly lost;
I speak not to disapprove of Blu-ray,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
Many users loved HD DVD once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for it?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with HD DVD,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

(With apologies to the Bard)

About This Blog

The once and future savage outpost for my semi-meaningful thoughts and monologues that are too long for Twitter and not good enough to be sprawled across the front page of every major metropolitan newspaper in America with 120-pt. headlines. Also, the occasional diversion via YouTube.

Meditate On This

Most of the great artists never live to see their work truly appreciated on a global scale... Vincent van Gogh. Johann Sebastian Bach. Keyboard Cat.
