By Paul Sweeting 9/29/2005
SEPT. 29 | Having already split the Hollywood studios and the consumer electronics industry, the battle between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD to become the next-generation optical disc format is now dividing the computer and information technology business.
Microsoft and Intel, the twin pillars of the �Wintel� platform that powers most of the world�s PCs, last week announced their support for HD DVD.
In a statement, Microsoft corporate VP media and technology convergence Blair Westlake said �[A]fter looking at the core advantages to the PC ecosystem and how it would benefit the consumer, it is clear that HD DVD offers the highest quality and is the most affordable and highly flexible solution available.�"

Published: September 27, 2005
(After October 05, 2005, this article will only be available to eStat Database subscribers.)
Monday has been thought to be the optimum day for commercial e-mail messages, but a new study says that might not be so.
Last year, two separate studies found that Monday was probably the best day to send commercial e-mail. Return Path found that e-mails sent on Monday had delivery rates markedly above average. The delivery rate on Friday was slightly below average, while the Saturday and Sunday rates were significantly below. Saturday was the worst day to send an e-mail in terms of delivery rate.
Another study, this one conducted by eROI, suggested that not only delivery rates, but also open and clickthrough rates were better on Mondays.
But a new report by ExactTarget asserts that there is no 'best day' to send commercial e-mails. If anything, the latter part of the week may be better. According to ExactTarget data, over 97% of campaigns are sent Monday through Friday. Wednesday is the peak day. "

Blu-ray Disc
Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25GB, which can be used to record over 2 hours of HDTV or more than 13 hours of standard-definition TV. There are also dual-layer versions of the discs that can hold 50GB.
While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD�R, DVD�RW, and DVD-RAM use a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup and allow playback of CDs and DVDs. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it's possible to fit more data on the disc even though it's the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB.
With the rapid growth of HDTV, the consumer demand for recording HD programming is quickly rising. Blu-ray was designed with this application in mind and supports direct recording "

A falta de un año para que se empiecen a distribuir los primeros discos Blue-ray en los Estados Unidos, desde Xataka hemos querido recopilar información de ambos formatos, así como analizar y sopesar qué va a suponer que haya dos formatos en el mercado, incompatibles entre sí y con una misma función.
Blue-ray
El Blue-ray es un formato de disco óptico pensado para almacenar vídeo de alta calidad y datos. Para su desarrollo se creó la BDA, en la que se encuentran, entre otros, Sony o Phillips.
El modelo básico, de una cara y una capa, podrá almacenar unos 25 GB, mientras que uno de doble capa podra llegar a los 54 GB. Incluso TDK ha presentado un modelo de 4 capas, el cul llega a los 100 GB.
Desde 2.003 ya se pueden encontrar en el mercado nipón grabadoras de este formato y en el 2.004 se introdujeron en Estados Unidos, aunque no con mucha aceptación. El próximo gran paso será cuando salga a la venta la PlayStation 3, los juegos de la cual estarán en este formato de almacenamiento.

The high-resolution DVD format war continues to rage unabated with plenty of vitriol spewing from the lips of proponents and detractors on both sides. Unresolved, the outcome will likely benefit neither player as consumers, paralyzed by the competing formats, will simply opt out of the technology altogether. This is what happened a few years ago in the case of DVD-Audio vs. Super Audio CD, and it looks like we�re setting up for a similar debacle in coming months."

Attytood: When the levee breaks
Attytood: When the levee breaks: "But the cost of the Iraq war forced the Bush administration to order the New Orleans district office not to begin any new studies, and the 2005 budget no longer includes the needed money, he said.
The Senate was seeking to restore some of the SELA funding cuts for 2006. But now it's too late. One project that a contractor had been racing to finish this summer was a bridge and levee job right at the 17th Street Canal, site of the main breach. The levee failure appears to be causing a human tragedy of epic proportions:
'We probably have 80 percent of our city under water; with some sections of our city the water is as deep as 20 feet. Both airports are underwater,' Mayor Ray Nagin told a radio interviewer.
Washington knew that this day could come at any time, and it knew the things that needed to be done to protect the citizens of New Orleans. But in the tradition of the riverboat gambler, the Bush administration decided to roll the dice on its fool's errand in Iraq, and on a tax cut that mainly benefitted the rich.
And now Bush has lost that gamble, big time. We hope that Congress will investigate what went wrong here.
The president told us that we needed to fight in Iraq to save lives here at home, and yet -- after moving billions of domestic dollars to the Persian Gulf -- there are bodies floating through the streets of Louisiana. What does George W. Bush have to say for himself now?"
