At least once a month we seem to publish the latest figures from some faceless group of "media analysts" claiming to have consulted their crystal ball and divined the future of the video market.

Now look where we are.
I know this is off topic but i feel i had to say this. You cant hold one man accountable in just a few weeks for what another man has done over the last 8 years.
Ture, though I would blame Chaney more than anything, Dubya was the failed business man remember.
I can;t blame him for much hes not a thinker nor a intellectual just another person whos high amongst his peers because who his dad was.
Now Bama..er...Obama(sorry automatic politician disrespect mode is hard to un automate :P) Obama is a suit and a intellectual...its rather nice to see soemone whos capable of of thinking and lying at the same time in high office, again no disrespect to Obama but politicians are crooks its just a fact of life, but at least Obama gives me hope Government is returning to "standards of jenusaque".
The reapers fed themselfs fat and let their corporate fuck buddies do what they wanted, while the dims got in on the orgy the 2 party system has failed us as is moving further away from founding documents of the nation.
I do hate the fundies but the PC nazis are just as bad if not even more furverous and petty... I mean whats worse a government that is quick to change and do stuff or one made incompetent because its members are unable to do anything but worry over their own millions and vacation time...
We need to get back to majority rule not rule land slides, we need to lower and limit what the noble class of officials make and can do in and out of office...
Quote:Well, coming from a forecasting background...I find that after dawn article absolutely and utterly worthless. Forecasting always has the downfall of being inaccurate...obviously no one can see the future. But it's still an interesting, and important facet of the finance and operations of these products, and gives good insight to what others are thinking. Saying they're not always right, and keep changing their numbers like that's a bad thing, as opposed to expected...just seems a little...dim witted. Forecasting always suffers from consistent revision...that hardly makes it meaningless and irrelevant.And it hardly means making up numbers is just as good. It does mean using forecasts as if their the gospel...is not really the right way to go. But that goes for supporters and detractors. You can't say BD is definitely going for the gold like it's a fact, because such and such analyst said so...but you also can't cry how awful something is doing...simply because an analyst got something wrong.
