The Implications of Combining NHL and WHA Statistics - by Moses
As the NHL season is weeks away, there is some heated debate as to whether the NHL (National Hockey League) will recognize the former WHA (World Hockey Association) equally, with respect to players' statistics. The implications are very relevant when considering that both Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull were breadwinners in both Leagues. It may seem trivial, however, many Hockey players will either be remembered or never heard from again on this premise. Let's not forget that Anders Hedberg once scored 70 Goals in one season in the WHA (4 consecutive 50+ goal seasons), and Real Cloutier scored 75 Goals in one campaign (3 60+ goals seasons and four consecutive 56+ goals campaigns) These players are not exactly household names, yet were stars in the now defunct WHA. Bobby Hull scored 77 in a WHA campaign, and when including his WHA totals he amassed 913 Goals (9 - 50 goal seasons, and 17 consecutive 30+ Goal years in both Leagues). Gordie Howe scored 975 Goals in both Leagues, yet his mark of 786 NHL tallies is the statistic that most hockey fans remember today.
What would happen if future players join a European NHL, accredited as a North American NHL equal. How would a sports historian view the players' accomplishments in relation to eachother? The idea of setting an equal playing ground was supposed to take shape through the advent of the WHA. In the globalization of sport it is paramount to recognize accomplishments based on skill, and if a player in the WHA is forgotten, whose to say this won't stand true of a European NHL down the road. What would have happened had the Nazi's defeated the Allied forces in WW2? Would Jesse Owens be remembered, or would he have been scricken from the record books and filed away in denial, with the documentation destroyed? History has a funny way of selectively remembering what reality was, to the victor goes the spoils. Should I be a Hockey fan in the year 2050, will I have been ingrained on the accomplishments of Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson, Robbie Ftorek, Marc Tardif and Real Cloutier amongst NHL heroes? or will history decide in passivity to ignore these superstars because they were ahead of their time.

Test Tape - by Moses
As everyone in the Professional Audio world knows, when using D.A.T recorders Super 8 Tape is the standard. As is all analog 2 inch tape. What this means is that there is a singular manufacturer reaping the benefits of practically all the recording artists works. With a competitive de-regulated marketplace it will soon become common for new test tapes designed in the digital realm, prohibiting this monopoly standard.
It was in 1982 that Fuji Film hit the North American market. It was considered by many to be a revolutionary product. However, as time has told, the format has moved to digital, and these analog products are now considered vintage (picture a cassette tape on VCR-VHS or Beta Tape). The projections are calling for new industry standards, and that is where a fine line has been set in the ground. No longer will Sony have a monopoly on what hits the airwaves. I vividly remember that in 1982 my Dad's company Greisman and Son rejected an offer from Sony, to distribute their products through them. It came down to Market share. The general consensus was that Sony was too greedy and had some questionable business practises. It is now 2010 and Sony has the original patent of C.D and D.V.D players/recorders, as well as the Seagate Barracuda (the first multi-channel processing C.P.U). As the patents have run out we will now see technological breakthroughs that will in all likelihood enable a home to self automate at a fraction of today's price. In laymen terms this means that should a person want to communicate with 1 million homes on a secure telecommunications system (some would say satellite feed with it's own hub), the C.P.U behind it all (similar to owning Bell Canada 30 years ago) will be affordable to pretty much the 'working Joe'.
In terms of what is being offered today, relative to a five year forecast, is very simple. We will have the technology in place to harness Electronic Control Units within each home, essentially automating our every technological product from a main hub within the home, as well as every communication device within it's network with practically zero upgrades necessary, at a fraction of today's prices. In essence, unless Sony has diversified outside the technological world, they will become a dinosaur to what they're known to be today financially. Even Bill Gates estate (which operates with the highest of all technologies, as a tax write-off in his books), will essentially be worth pennies of what we saw just 5 years ago.
To take a page out of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, should 100 million people buy a product at $100/unit, how does this compare to 2 billion people buying the same unit for $5 with a replicate backup. This would lead to a Global Dollar.
Take for example a Commodore 64, compare it to a Dell 40 gig hardrive at 2.6 Ghz with 8 Megabytes of RAM, and then compare both with a future 20 Terabyte Hardrive with 16 ultra sonic processing channels within it's C.P.U operating at 40 Ghz with 2 Terabytes of RAM.
