Who f-ing cares? So I used the old name. Guess you had no idea what I was talking about. How'd you even figure out I meant MacBook given the disparity.

whoa whoa whoa, a little defensive are we?

I guess I should be apologizing for my attempt to clarify your mistake.

There were rumors flying all over the place in August that the new titanium iMacs were going to include a Blu-ray drive. Of course, we all know how dangerous rumors can be... just look what happened to ThinkSecret (R.I.P.).

Quite honestly, I think the other posters in this thread have it right: Apple is just waiting on better software compatibility before making it a built-in option. Considering the marriage between Macs and video editing, and Blu's superiority in storage/quality, it's only a matter of time.

Make no mistake, tho... Apple is not HD-DVD friendly. Why? Simple.

Apple --> Steve Jobs --> Pixar --> Disney --> Blu-ray.

rumor has it appleinsider got $$$bank$$$ from the settlement, so they might not be to dangerous afterall :-D

I am not worried that eventually they will incorporate blu-ray, but I'm not as confident as you that they are unfriendly towards hd-dvd. they have been pretty mum about the whole thing (from what i've read, and ive searched!) and given their position in the media market, I can't see why at the moment they would at least be considering neutrality. (blu ray burner, hd-dvd combo)

I, among others, would LOVE to see apple release blu-ray (exclusively) products and soon, but im losing my confidence.....I've been a die hard mac user for 7+ years, and vowed to never go back....

last week I bought a dell with HDMI graphics card, vista, and blu-ray drive.


WAKE UP APPLE!!!!!
