How is that a blow to Blu-Ray ,that's well established.

Well if it was something they thought consumers really wanted, wouldn't they include it in their premium product?

And make it even more expensive that the overpriced dirt it already is?

That is what Apple does.

Yes... computer programs.

They also do a substantial amount of buisness in well... disc drives.

From my understanding, with the exception of the MacBook Air, every Mac that is sold includes a DVD drive and will play DVD movies out of the box.

Steve: "Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace."

Man, Steve Jobs must be getting hella cheques from Microsoft!

What's the "ouch"?

Blu-Ray hasn't taken off, so they're not putting it into the computers right now. Why put BD players into there if it's not standard yet? Waste of money if people don't need it, or don't use it, as it'd raise the price from the already huge price on their lappies anyway.

I fail to see the "ouch".

Please explain the "ouch" part to me?

I see someone who is trying to push a laptop, by not selling it at a high cost.

Bag of hurt = ouch. Bad on me for shortening the statement.

Yeah, cause the extra five letters and two spaces is so hard to type.

I myself prefer the term "bag of hurt" but I understand it would make a stupidly long thread name.
