CE Pro seems to have some sort of scoop on what could be our HD DVD plans, Vista May Not Support HD DVD at Launch:

A Microsoft spokesperson says, “Vista’s architecture will recognize both HD DVD and Blu-ray DVD; however, current plans for Media Center support of either of these formats is unknown at this time. We do know that there will be a great HD DVD and Blu-ray DVD experience for Media Center either at Vista launch or soon after as either an extensible application or natively in MCE.”

My friend John’s latest project, Amazon Simple Storage Service launched today (presumably a few other folks worked on it too).

Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

I’d love to see someone develop some software that automagically backs up all my personal media (photos & videos) to this cloud in the sky.
