DIVX in the NYTimes at:

nytimes.com

(I shall get you fellows reading the print edition of the Times yet....)

Basically the article says that DIVX has caused a massive crater in Circuit City's income statement. They are in it to the tune of $200mm. Students of Acronym Soup like Tom Hoff and Don Devlin will need to explain the ins and outs of DIVX to us in a refresher course. This layman views it as a betamax VHS struggle which is slowing down the adoption of pure DVD. I seem to remember that we don't get royalties on DIVX? That the players are not completely compatible?
