Winter of frozen dreams movie trailer

It s unlikely that HVD will actually replace BluRay though, because there s absolutely no reason why anybody needs to store 6terabyteson a single disc. Sure, you could put in the entire seasons of Stargate SG1, Atlantis and even the horrible Stargate Universe but imagine all the scrolling to find the one episode you want to watch! It s going to be interesting to see what will happen next. Will the Internet prevail? Or will it be something completely magical? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke This is a well written article. Good stuff! At least once a month we seem to publish the latest figures from some faceless group of media analysts claiming to have consulted their crystal ball and divined the future of the video market. Februarys flavor of the month this year is SNL Kagan. Two days ago they issued a press release boldly predicting Blu-ray will dominate the home video market in 2014 only to be overtaken by online video three years later. It makes for good press, but why should we believe them? Lets start with the obvious fact. Nobody knows the future. Id be willing to bet there was no 2001 SNL Kagan report correctly predicting DVD sales for this year. Theres simply no way they could have known what would be happening with Blu-ray, online video, or even the economy. I dont have a 2001 report to prove that with, but as it happens I do have another press release from just before the Christmas shopping season last year. If they really can forecast sales it should look about the same as their current report right? Well it doesnt. According to the November 2008 press release SNL Kagan estimates winter of frozen dreams movie trailer will be 2 million high-definition player homes, with the number increasing to 10 1 million by 20 Meanwhile the latest guess for 2017, just three months later, is 2 million high-definition DVD homes. Taking out the approximately 3 million Blu-ray capable homes right now or 10 million including PS3s thats around an 8% difference. Have things changed so much in three months? Actually yes they have. Weve seen the Christmas 2008 sales figures. And guess what, they will change again in the next six months, and next Christmas, and on, and on, and on. So the next time you see numbers from a bunch of media analysts, ask yourself this. If they know so much about the future why arent the playing the stock market instead of selling data about Blu-ray, or DVD, or online video, or whatever it is? Instead of starting a flamewar on some anonymous internet forum, spare yourself some headaches and high blood pressure and just make up your own numbers. You can always revise them when the next report comes out. 1 out of every 10 posts here will be people saying that blu-ray will die within 7 years. 8 out of 10 will be people that dont really care what will be the the best by 20 the last 1 out of 10 will be fan boys defending blu ray against people that are in denial as to the fact that the future changes the present and newer media formats will prevail. 1 out of every 10 posts here will be people saying that blu-ray will die within 7 years. 8 out of 10 will be people that dont really care what will be the the best by 20 the last 1 out of 10 will be fan boys defending blu ray against people that are in denial as to the fact that the future changes the present and newer media formats will prevail. Nice love your statistics, LD I read articles like this and I wonder if Afterdawn is a site that post tech news or a bunch of winter of frozen dreams movie trailer writers who blog about tech news. This is a bit more of an editorial piece than an actual news article. It might have read better if the writer stated the new report and simply contrasted the previous report without editorializing.
