Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

[Andrew Kimery] "But when asked about Blu-ray Steve jobs recently said, “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.” Which of course means Apple wants you to use the iTMS to get your entertainment even if that drives Pro users away from the Mac platform. If Roxio can figure out the 'complex' licensing issues I'm sure Apple can too."

Go read my blog about Adobe Encore CS3 and BluRay. The licensing part of it isn't the problem. Making a reliable BluRay authoring software is. We spent 12 months trying to make Encore work as Adobe claimed it would, and it never did. I've lost over $12,000 because of Encore and now Adobe is inviting me to buy CS4 because they've fixed all the problems we pointed out. So it actually works now.

If Apple doesn't want to support BluRay right now, that's fine by me. We now have NetBlender's DoStudio which does work as advertised and we're authoring multiple titles. When Apple is finally ready, I hope they learn the lesson from Adobe and ensure they actually can make a properly working authoring tool BEFORE they release it to the public. It's a LOT more complex than creating a DVD Authoring tool.
