TechByter Worldwide 2007.07.29: Seagate abandons IDE, concentrates on SATA; Yet another Windows Vista report; Netflix or Blockbuster; and Stupid Stuff (in place of Nerdly News this week)

After 21 years, IDE technology is being abandoned by disk manufacturers in favor of newer and faster SATA technology. I have an interim report on Vista (still liking the way it works) and a look at the battle between Netflix and Blockbuster. Instead of Nerdly News, this week I have stupid roadblocks, stupid spam, and stupid Mozilla mistakes.
