If you actually purchased an HD DVD player, then I suggest you sell it as fast as possible because what pundits have been stumping for weeks has come true. In an official announcement by Toshiba, the creator and production center of the HD DVD format, they have decided to discontinue any further development, research, or manufacturing of HD DVD at the end of this month. This marks the killing blow for HD DVD. Sony officially wins the format war with its superior Blu-ray player.
Atsutoshi Nishida, spokesman for Toshiba, said the decision was made for them when Warner defected from the HD DVD camp two...

It has been a little over 2 days since the kick off of Superbowl XLII and I still find myself in awe of the result. From my perspective, this was one of the greatest Superbowl games in modern history; not because of the pace the game, but more to do with the stage upon which it was set.
Tom Brady and the Patriots had a chance to do the impossible. To complete a 19-0 season, winning every game on the schedule, and them some. Bill Belichick, coach of the Patriots, can scheme and game plan like few others. Surely, with two weeks of prep, the Patriots could wither and strangle the Giants while placing Eli...
