For a long time, Blu-ray as a product category has been a joke. The problem was price elasticity, meaning that even when Sony finally got its way and HD DVD died, Blu-ray continued to lose market share -- to plain DVDs. Well, it looks like the Blu-ray manufacturers have realized that they can't get strong premium pricing from a public that largely doesn't know how to set up high definition on their TVs, because prices are starting to drop. However, don't hold your breath for a broad installed base that might give the needed payoff for the original investments because the price differentials are enormous and people don't seem to be in a hurry.

You'd think that a billionaire like Google co-founder Sergey Brin would be happy to channel some investment money into his wife's start-up. And you'd be right. Only, believing in the old business phrase of Other People's Money, he's doing so not just out of his own pocket, but those of Google's investors. And he -- and Google -- have doing so in some ethically questionable ways for at least two years.

Sun Microsystems had been working on a new chip project, called the Rock, for five years. The multi-threading, multi-core SPARC chip was intended for such applications as heavy computation and big database servers, going after the type of demanding use that had been a strong point for the company.
