Soon we shall resume updating.

For now, the Gadgets section in Keshet’s old website resumes its operation, which means my tech news column (Hebrew) is back after a six-month hiatus and two job changes. Also in Gadgets: Gal Nedivi (Israel’s Zombit) with some cool gadgets (and GTA IV on a big-ass screen).

You see, that’s why competition is good. For over a year we’re told the second reason HD players don’t sell is the high prices. So the competition dies, and the very next thing that happens is that the prices go up.

Reason number one for not buying n HD player was that everybody was afraid they’d look like a fool when the dust settles and they’d be holding the losing brand. I say, don’t worry: even if you buy Blu-Ray you’d still look like a fool. A couple of years from now bandwidth being what it is, everybody will be downloading their HD movies through Netflix and Blockbuster and Apple TV, and video stores will all be Starbucks.
