Yesterday, Panasonic released info on their new HD home theatre setup, which included a blu-ray disc player.

Just a quick note before my big post. The antblog is running again after some new “volunteers” arrived today. Even if you’re not interested in ants, you might be interested in me making an arse of myself trying to look after them!! [link]
