Most Annoying Technology of 2008 - Blu-ray Technology.

When I predicted that HD-DVD would win the format war, it really looked like I would end up eating crow for picking the wrong horse.  Turns out, "winning" the format war essentially means delaying your death a few years.  This should serve as a reminder of why we shouldn't let Sony win format wars in the first place: they value proprietary technology in the 21st century.  That business model died a long time ago, but hey, what do I know about business?  Not much, but then again, my company isn't hemorrhaging money, either.  Blu-ray players are prohibitively expensive, and Blu-ray movies are too expensive.  While I would personally pay $30 for a copy of Hancock on Blu-ray, because I am a fucking retard, I can't imagine many normal people would.  Another hint: when people buy a Playstation 3 in order to get a 'cheap' Blu-ray player something is wrong with your market implementation.  Blu-ray sucks, Sony sucks, people who support either are idiots.  Done.
