DVDs are influencing how people talk about things in other industries. Here's a snippet someone emailed me... "BMW's Easter Egg A hidden feature launches the M3, but faster in Europe. Popular Science, October 2002 There's a cheat code in the software running the BMW M3s sequential manual...

I didn't believe it when I saw it, but at my local Target store, they had A Beautiful Mind Widescreen for $17.99 and the Fullscreen at $19.99. I'm absolutely pleased, but I have to wonder why the differentiated pricing? Any ideas? Nick

I don't know what to make of this recent experience... I went to my local Border's Book & Music Store the other day to pick up a couple of new release DVD's, and couldn'r find them. They did a computerized inventory check that indicated they still had 30 on hand, but no one knew where they...
