Oh that Vudu you do do.

So, while this is less "alternative",it certainly has quite a bearing on the future of media. As some of you may know, the recent war for the next video technology has been settled, with Sony's "Blu-ray" disc beating out the "HDDVD". However, this may not be as dominating a technology as past reigning champions (DVD and VHS). Enter VUDU, an interface that goes with your entertainment combo that has access to a digital library of thousands of movies. This system, like iTunes but more catered for the family room, is completely digital - no physical medium. For the past year or so, people have been predicting that "EVERYTHING will be digital". Well, here we are, one step closer to a completely digital world: http://www.vudu.com/

P.S. My video is completely bugging out, probably due to the bugged out status of my computer. Hopefully things will be debugged by tomorrow. I'll see if I can post it before then.
