Sony’s Blu-ray beat out Microsoft’s HD-DVD in the hi-def wars. Sony stock is going up. Microsoft stock not so much, especially with the recent bid at Yahoo.

Scientology is now censoring eBay, as its has been permitted to arbitrarily delete auctions. Boycott time?

J.J. Abrams, an ex-Scientologist and producer of Lost and Cloverfield, announced a Cloverfield sequal.

In other Abrams news, Fringe (X-Files on drugs?) is being filmed in Toronto (UofT’s Bahen building, to be precise) as I write this. I dropped by today and saw an enormous FBI seal plastered on the lobby floor. Also, Great Hall has been revamped into an FBI HQ with suited agents running around. Very exciting.

Bonus fun item: I learned that Naveen Andrews (Sayid from Lost) has a fetish for older women. He fathered a child with his math teacher at the age of 16, and is currently dating Barbara Hershey who is a solid 21 years older.
