Não foi só Fidel que pediu pra sair.  A Toshiba também.

E o Nick Carr sapateou sobre a tumba:

You can get away with a three-letter initialism as a product name, but if you try to stretch it to five, you’re sunk. HD DVD? It never really had a chance, particularly when it was up against a snappy futuristic-sounding name like Blu-Ray. If the Jetsons had decided to get a second dog to keep Astro company, they would have named it Blu-Ray.”

Acho até que ele tem razão.  Mas como se sabe, o futuro se torna sempre óbvio quando se torna passado.
