GMAT Azamat

Here I sit studying for the GMAT, but taking a break to reflect. So yesterday at work, we went to see Borat as a team and it was pretty insane. I mean the Mortgage Conference part was just all out madness and hilarity. Yeah yeah, I know I'm late to the Borat game, but I'm late to most games nowadays (I don't even have an Xbox 360 yet...no way in hell I'm going to get a PS3 anytime soon...tangent alert...tangent alert).

What's with Sony these days? They're totally missing the point I think. The ebook reader is cool technology, but instead of letting some who knows books do the selling (I dunno...say Amazon, maybe?), they open their own craptastic Connect store. Ummm, knock knock....excuse me? Remember Atrac (or whatever their failed one-off DRM "solution" was called)? I know we haven't all forgotten about mini disc and betamax yet, have we? Sony is great for making commodity electronics (the 'razors') but they seem to be hit and miss with creating media standards (the 'blades'). Who knows...maybe the blu-ray will take off? But seriously, who's going to go buy a disc when you'll be able to download phat 1080p (in WMV natch) for less duckets?

And lets not forget about the PS3...rather than trying to appeal to the mass market like Nintendo is doing and Xbox tried to but really didn't, Sony goes all out with a console that is more powerful than 4 space shuttles tied together with a flux capacitor and forgets that on the end, it's all about the games. Viva Pinata and just about everything Wii is going to be family oriented and get this "mom oriented." It's going to be funny when some Wii fanboy gets Pwn3d by his mom and youtubes it. Any who, I think Sony has gone way way overboard (did I mention the lame ads) on this one.

By the way, anyway catch the Xbox 360 Gears of War commercials with "Mad World" as the soundtrack to a scene of the game? Brilliant.
