Out cold part 1

It will be great to have support for Blue ray, then again I believe B R is a total waste of time and it will be dead in a few years time. You obviously dont own Blu-ray or have an appreciation for motion pictures in high resolution. If its an opinion based upon economics, please be advised that prices for HDTVs are dropping and there are even Blu-ray players below 300 now. If you have a PC or a PowerMac/Mac Pro, you can buy an internal Sony BD-Rom drive for about 1 Oh are in the UK. I forgot how much a lot of the UKers Ive conversed with online have such negative feelings about HD since the UK and the BBC are trailing the USA/Canada/Japan on the HD adoption curve. They always seem to cling to the idea that the BBC didnt massively screw up in not having shot Doctor Who in HD from day 1 when they brought the show back in 200 Of course even then, they were behind most US drama programming which had moved to HD cameras circa 2001 or earlier. And even before then, the US production teams had used 16mm or better film stock and not cheap video obviously excluding sitcom But I do concede that the UK had superior analog colour television than us since the mid 1970s since PAL was superior to NTSC well, except for when using the tv for video and in about 2 months, iMac, but i wouldnt expect them to update that one until Macworld, they wouldnt update it during November, based on historical update cycle timelines. though they could refresh sooner. Personally, I think Apple waiting for MacWorld for new hardware releases is ridiculous because they miss the Christmas/Holiday season. I have my fingers crossed that well see new hardware in the next few weeks and then Apple use MacWorld to hype Snow Leopard; Mobile Me working properly; and another new iPhone which not only adds new features to stay competitive with all the new touchscreen phones like the T-Mobile G1 but also encompasses and harnesses Snow Leopards features and Mobile Me syncing. I guess if I renew with T-Mobile with a 2 year contract for the G1, itll take me to the time that Apples exclusive contract with AT T here in the USA expires. Of course, Im also hoping that AT T spins off their wireless division again and buys Vodafones stake in Verizon Wireless in order to clear the way for the eventual AT T/Verizon merger. Vodafone could then buy out the former AT T/Cingular Wireless company and bring their worldwide economies-of-scale to reduce handset prices and also invest in building a decent GSM/3G/4G network in this nation since AT T certainly cant/wont.

YES! A mobile phone monopoly! What could possibly be wrong with that? Blieve it or not there are people that want to see blu-ray on macs. Just because you dont doesnt mean others do. people are treating blu-ray like it will take over your system. thats not the case. It will be great to have support for Blue ray, then again I believe B R is a total waste of time and it will be dead in a few years time. can we say the same for macs and apple in general?:rolleyes: You obviously dont own Blu-ray or have an appreciation for motion pictures in high resolution. He doesnt. He might as well just watch VHS as DVDs are a total waste of time Bluray is really DVD 0 if he doesnt like the features of blu-ray then he wont like the DVD features ad they are basicly the same thing, just more interactive. Once almighty Steve says that Blu-ray will be included to Macs and in his typical style tells how awesome it is and how good 1080p looks, most people here will start to support Blu-ray. Until that happens, its the same old Apple doesnt support it yet, so it isnt cool story. I know. People need to grow up and have an open YES! A mobile phone monopoly! What could possibly be wrong with that? Well, the way it is in the USA, were going to get down to 2 large mobile phone companies tied to traditional POTS. Instead of competing against POTS, they are welding mobile phone services with POTS to protect their near monopolies. Unless something happens, it is going to be between AT T and Verizon Wireless. I would like to see Vodafone a purely wireless international phone company enter the market without the strings that are currently tied to them. They were stupid for having merged Vodafone Airtouch with what became Verizon Wireless because since Verizon backed CDMA, it did not bring cost savings from the rest of Vodafones holdings. Thus if Vodafone sold or swapped their near 50% stake in Verizon Wireless to AT T in exchange for AT Ts wireless division which like Vodafone backs GSM then wed have an international heavyweight that could compete not just in terms of mobile service, but mobile service against POTS. A monopoly on POTS is just a monopoly for poor and old customers. It is dying off like non-broadband 56k ISPs. Let AT T and Verizon merge.
