Sony's Peter Dille sees bleak future for HD-DVD; blasts 360's 'staying power'
,----[ Quote ]
| "With the Xbox 360 you've got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive,
| some don't, and none of them have Blu-Ray, and the HD-DVD will be out of
| business in a matter of months. Is this a ten-year product? And by the way it
| doesn't even work. Do they want to be selling it for ten years and
| refurbishing them all for ten more years? I don't think that's a ten-year
| product. You could disagree with me, or they could disagree with me, but I'd
| put that up against the PS3 any day."

It's not a joke.
Last week:
Insider Trading Hasn't Affect Microsoft Stock - Yet
,----[ Quote ]
| MarketWatch.com reports that Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's
| Entertainment and Devices division, sold $6.2 million of Microsoft
| stock just prior to announcing that Microsoft was going to have to
| extend XBox 360 warranties to three years because of extensive
| failures. The filings note that this was not part of any
| scheduled diversification or selling program; this was a
| conscious, unscheduled sale by the guy in charge of releasing
| news that could affect the value of Microsoft stock.
|
| [...]
|
| Insider trading is a very serious violation of the law; just
| ask Martha Stewart, who served five months in prison for
| avoiding losses of $43,000 through trades that just had suspicious
| timing (no insider trading was actually proven). This is $6.3
| million that went straight into Robbie Bach's pocket.
