Dan Hesse, of Sprint, is an ass...

"Even as Sprint continues to lose money and customers, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse rakes in a hefty compensation package that includes a $2.6 million bonus for 2008. "

I hate seeing this guy in his !(@#*^!(# Sprint commercials

New cars...we don't need anymore.

I'd rather see the big 3, or some competitors, get into "upgrading" our cars for the future.

There are people converting cars to electric and bio diesel etc..."small scale"...why doesn't someone with resources do it large scale???

We have plenty of cars, let's just make them better.

You don't need Blu-ray

really...you don't. The only reason we need DVD is because we, as consumers, have allowed the corporate media makers to convince us that we needed the technology...when we don't.

VHS is a great technology. What?!? you ask??? This is what I mean...I've got VHS tapes dating back 15 or more years that still play. They've been thrown around, stepped on, handled by the kids etc...and yet they still work. Occasionally I've had to splice a broken tape or stuff it back into the casing because of a child's curiosity with that mysterious brown metallic ribbon...but, the tape has kept playing. Give a child a DVD or a CD to play with and within minutes that nice shiny playing surface can be scratched and marred to such a degree that your disc is now a $20 drink coaster. I understand that Blu-ray is supposed to have a "protective layer"...but, I have my doubts about that :)

Also, do you really need all of the menu and info options that Blu-ray is touting and all of the extra hours of feature extras? Are you kidding me? Why would we need this...most people barely have the time to just watch the movie itself?

And another thing...Why do we need higher definition? I'd argue that most people can't even tell the difference between a VHS movie a DVD let alone a DVD from a Blu-ray. I'd even argue that too much definition is bad for the viewing experience. I was watching a store display of a high-def TV playing a Blu-ray movie of Spiderman III...at the part where the sandman guy was swirling around in that grain silo...and I thought that the high definition of every CG grain particle was distracting and uncomfortable to the eye -- I couldn't watch too much of that, yikes! Along those line...there are several TV personalities and movie stars that just shouldn't be portrayed in high-def -- you know what I mean....I'm sure we've all seen one or more of those extreme closeups on some personality and said, "Woa! Back off camera...Too close!"

Send the media companies a message and don't buy into Blu-ray, HD, or whatever is next (you know something else is wating to replace Blu-ray someday).

Be satisfied with what you got -- there's nothing wrong with that.
