Toshiba quits HD-DVD

Yes…this might be the hottest news in the technology world recently. Toshiba has announced that they are officially quiting the HD-DVD format, leaving few others players behind.
In case you are wondering…this it the world for the next generation high storage DVD format, between HD DVD and Blu-Ray (Sony).
Toshiba’s HD DVD is backed by Paramount, Universal Pictures, Microsoft, Sanyo, and NEC.
Sony’s Blu-ray is backed by Disney, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Dell, Panasonic, and Philips.
In Japan, the TV news even conduct a very comprehensive war analysis between the two formats…but my memory not so good to remember all. In summary, Sony Blu-Ray seems to have more promising future, with HD DVD dying slowly. PlayStation 3 is definitely playing big help in promoting Blu-Ray format.

It is a small world…

My sister’s friend, Louis, who happened to browse ShaShinKi.com few days ago only found out that I am the brother of his friend’s Adeline (my sister) last night. My sisters and nieces visited his house for CNY gathering.
This is the shot that they took last night. 
I can see ShaShinKi.com on the monitor screen. Thanks Louis for emailing me this photo. 
(Sis, you seems pretty tired…please take care of yourself. May God bless you and protect you, and give you peace. In Jesus name I prayed. Amen.)
Ricoh Dumped Caplio…R8 coming soon!

Yes…you read the title right.
Ricoh has decided to dump Caplio…which is a good move.
No, Ricoh is not discontinuing their digital camera series. They just decided to dump the Caplio name and make it more direct naming with the upcoming Ricoh R8. No more Ricoh Caplio R8… 
Personally I think this is a great move and wise decision by Ricoh! Simple name is always easier to remember. R8 sounds elegant, Caplio isn’t.
