I for one gladly endorse anything that would fuck Sony over.

(@ant: small typo in your summary, JVS -> JVC.)

Your video, How Sony's Betamax lost to JVC's VHS Cassette Recorder, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

He forgot the most important blow to the betamax: JVC licensed VHS, SONY refused to do it and wanted to take the whole video market as a monopoly. So VHS was available, in cheaper prices from multiple manufacturers and with ever increasing options while SONY and BetaMax had couple of models.. Not the first time SONY has lost something over greed, BluRay almost went with the same route (allthou there were several companies developing it from the start).

BetaMax cassette was 1h with the short play (and better quality), 2h with long play (later over 3h). Even on that machine he demonstrated.. The real reason for video cassette wars going for JVC was licensing and price dropped obviously with competition. But BetaMax was around almost for the entirety of video cassette history, collectors often wanted theirs in BetaMax for better sound and slightly better picture quality. Sound difference was noticeable, picture,, naah, not so much (i was there when this war happened...)

Sony was offered to join JVC before either had come out...

I see these continuously at Value Village for $3... I had a JVC one that I used for years on the schoolbus

Back when airlines were more heavily regulated there was Rule 240: "an airline with a delayed or canceled flight had to transfer passengers to another carrier if the second carrier could get passengers to the destination more quickly than the original airline."

The rule is now obsolete, but most American airlines will still abide by it. While most airlines tend to keep this rule a secret, passengers who speak up (and sound like they know what they are talking about) can sometimes get reasonable compensation.

That said, most airlines today are shit and will do whatever they can to make an extra buck.

Personally, I think overselling tickets should be cited as fraudulent.
If they offer a ticket for a 12 o'clock flight, and I purchase a ticket for a 12 o'clock flight, they better provide me with a 12 o'clock flight. That was the agreement and binding contract upon purchasing the ticket.
If I go to the store and buy a Sony TV and they give me a JVC, that's fraudulent, so how is this different? "Oh, sorry, we only had two Sony TVs but we sell four just in case, you my friend get the JVC, sorry, that's just our policy and the way we do business." (Bait and switch!)
I'm sure there is a lawsuit there waiting to be battled out. But everyone lets the airlines bully us because they need to fly - there fore the bully wins in the real world.
FUCK is the correct word when they fuck you over.
