The New Chevy KITTY LOC8TOR

By the name sounds a little bizarre right? Well its purpose is everything but to find your kitty (Sorry all you cat lovers out there).

How many times have you spent the day at the mall, sporting event, or even your office only to find that you’ve forgotten where it was you parked? Honestly, I can’t say that I’ve ever really encountered this situation. Sure, I might be off by a row when I go looking for my car, but I can’t remember a single time where I found myself wandering around a parking lot in search of my vehicle. However, for those of you that find yourself spending more time looking for your car than you do driving it, you’ll be happy to know that Chevy is looking out for you.

The KITTY LOC8TOR is a gadget inside your car that sits there, waiting for the day that you suffer from amnesia while shopping in the mall. You press a button on your keychain and the base unit in your car will make any number of noises to let you know where to go. The best part is that you can record your own message to be amplified throughout the entire parking lot. You know that pranksters everywhere will have a heyday with this one.

This interesting little gadget will be available in upcoming Chevy vehicles, though we’re not sure when it will be available, or what the premium will be. Thankfully they have given us some insight into their wonderful little acronym. KITTY stands for Key Innovation That Talks to You. How fascinating.

Extraordinary Turn Around Saves Green for Verizon

After many analysis of market, Verizon's light turned on at the opportunity of Google's new Android software platform launch. This platform allows phone providers to have an open network. Verizon saw that this would bring a plethora of benefits to the company and to new customers. Its a big turn around for the mobile giant since their network and devices were locked making it expensive for small companies to develop Verizon's unique applications for all of their phones they purchase. Among its benefits of this upgrade:

• It will allow users from other providers to switch to Verizon with out having to spend too much in getting them or for customers to buy a new phone.
• Since they will not have technical support for devices and applications not offered by Verizon, it will cut costs this additional support, instead they will encourage the customers to contact their device or application provider.
• Potentially allow millions of more customers for the company easily.
• Have a standardized development of the nearly 800 applications and services provided by Verizon and implement them in many new devices that Verizon didn't have to purchase because they were already purchased by the new customer that switched to the network.

It seems as Verizon doesn't want to be left behind since Sprint and T-Mobile where among the first ones in the line to support Google's Android. Verizon just couldn't bear to see their competition getting ahead of them on this opportunity of gaining low-cost customers. Their Chief of Operations Officer, McAdam, laid out this plan to his managers and they were pretty impressed while others where surprised exclaiming " Wow, that's a big turning point ".

All of this makes sense because looking at the cell phone business in Europe, it's a free-for-all type of business and they have great success with customers switching from other providers and lowering costs in devices and applications for them since developers don't have to make different variations for each provider. Even Verizon's father Vodafone is in an open network. So with everyone going for these extra profit upgrades, th the peer pressure escalated so high that on Nov. 27 Verizon publicly announced their plans on giving in to the company's biggest provider policy turn around in history!

The Brawl between Blue-Ray and HD DVD. Which One Will Prevail?

The fight between these two leading hi-definition technologies for the new flat panel LCD and Plasma TVs is on! Right now, it is a mighty close and fierce battle and there are many factors that will give favor for either technology to take the lead.

According to the BusinessWeek Magazine, Blue-Ray has a slight lead over HD DVD. Right now, it is up to a decision by major film producer Warner Bros. to determine which of the two will become the movie industry's new standard technology. Blue-Ray has now enough movie producing companies in their team to account for 49% of the current high-definition DVD market share including Disney, Sony, and Fox. Warner Bros' decision on which one to use for their production is major because If Blue-Ray's backer, Sony, gets Warner to sign to use the Blue-Ray technology, its market share will immediately boost to 70% of the market share.

HD DVD's main backer, Toshiba, claims that they will get Warner to sign with them because their technology is much cheaper than Blue-Ray therefore their market impact will be massively huge. Their discs are about $2 less than Blue-Ray's $31.74 retail suggested price and that their HD DVD players are much more affordable around $300. HD DVD is only about 50 titles short than its competition.

In the other hand, more than 300,000 americans currently own Blue-Ray players Surveys show in contrast that 578,000 housholds that will own an HD DVD player by the end of the year plus there 300,000 more players alerady circulating in Microsoft's Xbox game consoles. Regardless of these figures, Blue-Ray supporters claim that they will have a greater market prosperity potential because Blu-Ray currently has about 2.3 million Blue-Ray equiped Play Station 3 game consoles sold in the U.S., also Disney backing it. So, they claim to have another advanatage because consumers will want to build their library with older disney films for their kids. Blue-Ray discs also can potentially hold more data meaning extra bonus material and more anti-piracy measures can be embedded.

It seems that HD DVD is struggling to keep up since they are for now backed up only by DreamWorks Animation and Paramount pictures only because Toshiba incentivated them with 150 million dollars to sign with them along with money to licence the Shrek character for advertizing. Unfortunatelly, it is hard to decide what the real outcome of all of this will be since these giants signed a contract to support HD DVD for a term of 18 months.

In the end, both Blue-Ray and HD DVD are wooing Warner because whoever is their choice will become the next format standard for the DVD industry. To "favor incentive" that HD DVDsupporters gave to these studios, Blue-Ray promises that they will throw in houndreds of millions dollars to support Blue-Ray once Warner joins in with them. Rumor has it that Warner is waiting to see which of the two prospers for the holidays before deciding which to support.

Time will only tell if Blue-Ray or HD DVD will be our next home entertainment recorded video for the next generation. As far as consumers go, they will be the final judges in this bloody brawl in which they will look for quality, extensive diversity, as well as economic reliability.
