I have to include this YouTube inspired this diary.
It led me to muse on the juxtaposition of erotic work and technology.
Guttenberg produced a bible, but the next guys after him? Porn.
The VCRs, and specifically movies on tape reached widespread commercial success as a result of pr0n.
The VHS-Beta wars? Sony refused to license Beta to adult video makers.
The first commercial successes on the Internet? Porn.
Now we have the Blu-Ray-HDVD content wars. Once again Sony has a format that it's refusing to license to the skin flick makers. (Yes, I know that it's on the PS3, but we all really want WIIs).
So, if I had to purchase a next-gen DVD system now, I'd go HD-DVD.
Regardless of the moral implications of sexually explicit media, it's clear that it is, and will continue to be, a leading edge adopter of next generation consumer technologies.
