Does Toshiba not realize by now that their refusal to support Blu-ray means:

1. The entire US Mortgage market has collapsed, something that wouldn't happen if homes were made more valuable by putting Toshiba Blu-ray players in them.
2. It looks likely John McCain will win and put America in an entirely pointless war with Iran, whereas if Toshiba had released a Blu-ray player early enough, McCain would have been too busy watching Transformers in HD to even think about going to war?
3. There's still no cure for the common cold, because scientists have no incentive given they can't buy Blu-ray players from Toshiba.
4. George Michael has been arrested for drugs, drugs he wouldn't have had if he'd spent his money on a Toshiba Blu-ray deck.
5. Toshiba hasn't gone bust, which it would have done had they spent a few hundred mill on new Blu-ray player factories. Er. By not going bust, they're, like, making profits other companies could be making, like Sony.

It's outrageous. They must immediately start making Blu-ray players, which we Engadget journalists will never buy anyway.
