Stop, you’re too successful

January 27th, 2005 by mhjones

That nasty conglomeration of Hollywood media powerbrokers is trying to squash what’s arguably been the most interesting, ground-breaking development in gadgets since the Sony Walkman. Apparently they’re trying to revive the Betamax wars and in doing so take us right back to 1984. It would be funny if it wasn’t so scary.

John Davidson has a piece about it in today’s AFR (behind the firewall here), as does CNet Asia, The Washington Post, and a whole ton of publications via Google News.

And yes, this was a US Tuesday story but yesterday was the Australia Day public holiday, and I’m getting pretty good at ignoring the blogosphere on holidays (gasp! ;) .
