1. LaserDisc was awesome
It went nowhere.

Beta should have been the standard over VHS: it was far superior.

It's a damned shame that GM is going to repeat history here ... because of greed? The Prius hybrid was a great success not just because of its (then) new technology, but because they sold it at what was probably a loss-leader price to gain market appeal and dominance. We paid 1/2 of what the Volt cost for a Prius. Volt will be marketed as a plaything for the wealthy. Stupid.

This article is right: they will fail.
