Re: New Macbook - Deliberately hobbled?

Wow - this all went a little off-topic. Whilst we're at it though, I just cannot see what issues Apple have to overcome with Blu-Ray that have not been overcome by EVERY OTHER computer manufacturer. You give a Blu-Ray option, and you charge a price that covers the licencing. End of story. That's a completely seperate issue to making authoring software like, erm, Adobe and Roxio did.

If there was official Blu-Ray support on Macs, perhaps the 3rd party solutions wouldn't suck as hard as they do. Also, I have 2 Blu-Ray drives, one internal and one external, and both are recognised by OSX. Both are available for burning plug-and-play. I even get a nice little BD-R logo on my Apple desktop when I stick a BD-R in. So who are Apple trying to kid? All their attitude achieves is sub-standard Mac software like Encore. Way to go Apple!

So - to conclude: Apple hobbled the Macbook to protect it's Pro market and hobbles Pro machines with no Blu-Ray to protect it's ITMS market. Oh well - I guess they can have a bit less of my money in future.
