Ziff Davis, Bankrupt
I didn’t see this one coming. Ziff Davis is Chapter 11… with over $225 Million in debt. For those of you too young to remember (and I have to start saying that), Ziff Davis at one point was king of all technological media. They had a near monopoly on Mac newsprint, and the online media [...]
HD-DVD Lives… in China
I like HD-DVD. I don’t like oppressive regimes. So, I have mixed feelings that China and Toshiba have teamed up for CH-DVD. CH-DVD is essentially HD-DVD with slightly different encryption.
