- People just not that into Blu-ray
Lots of good stuff in here. Once Bluray players are $40-100, I'm sure they'll sell…once people replace their already OK DVD players. Unlike computers – where you're forced to buy a new one often to keep up with software that won't work on older machines – there's not much reason to upgrade a video player. People just don't care about a "better" picture when DVD is just fine. - Canonical offers tech support for clouds • Channel Register
"Canonical is offering annual contracts with either standard (9×5 business hours) or advanced (24×7) coverage. An entry-level cloud support contract includes support for five physical machines and up to 25 virtual machines for $4,750 per year; a 24×7 contract costs $17,500 for the same setup. (The pricing is scaling proportionately with the number of hours in the week covered, which is fair enough.) Each additional physical server can get a support pack that can have up to ten virtual machines for $1,250 for standard support and $3,000 for advanced support."
