Blue vs Red - an explanation of sorts - Blu-ray Forum

phloyd · 11-11-2006, 07:26 AM

The post wasn't about politics. It was about things that are meaninglessly attached to colours.

I figured I would throw it out there and see what happened.

It is interesting that most people purely focused on the one association of political affiliations. I never said anything about socialism. In many countries it is the socialists that are red and the conservatives that are blue. Obviously in those countries, I would be on the blue side still because they are blue and for no other reason ...

I guess the political aspect was a little too fresh in some people's minds

To make something else clear - I am not a US citizen and cannot vote here.

I don't have any affiliation to any political party - I just live with what y'all decide.

'nuff said I hope - sorry if I upset anyone. Will steer clear of any such comments in the future.

PS. was kinda surprised that nobody complained that I didn't say anything about Strawberries (red things that are good) - nor did I mention any blue things that were bad. My post was clearly biased and irrational. At least that was clear to me

Josh - feel free to close this thead too - I just wanted to explain a little - sorry that my little 'joke' apparently offended members here that I respect and enjoy my interaction with.

It's all good. I think everyone knows you well enough by now to know that your intentions were all good.

I am not sure my intentions were all good

Blue fanboyism is perhaps as annoying as any other kind.

I expected it to all turn to custard at some stage though the speed at which it did shocked me a little.

Perhaps if I had remembered the politics ban it would have been a more interesting experiment...

Cheers!

Blue is excellent... Unfortunately, violet is better... UV is even better. Throw in holographic technology and we are better still.

Unfortunately, while the HD-DVD logo is red, nothing else about the technology is. Same blue laser diodes in use between both technologies, and very similar performance capabilities.

Other than bandwidth and storage capacity.
