How do you know that Apple wont taper the laptop similar to Vaio Z or the MBA and move away from slot-loading drives. Slot loading drives are a pain in the a% anyway. The point solipsism is using is called a design constraint when making a concerted effort to determine the requirements for Apple to achieve their end game-native BluRay in Macs with a consumer solution for free, combined with a professional level that incorporates third parties. The BTO that I mentioned on AppleInsider about 9 months ago is the starting point for BluRay on Mac Pros. Youre not going to see the Consumer beat the Pro level on BluRay. Cinemas also have been discussed to death at AI where I drove the angle that Apple will enter the HDTV market capable displays for both. They wont go after the large form factor. Theyll target the HD end that allows professionals to have a higher benefits/cost ratio. In 2009, Nehalem will be scaled down from a 45 nm to the 32 nm core Westmere. Sandy Bridge will be the successor of Nehalem s architecture and debut in 2010 as a 32 nm CPU. Ivy Bridge will shrink Sandy Bridge to 22 nm in 2011 and Haswell will be a completely new architecture that is planned to be introduced in 2012 as a 22 nm chip. If Mac Pros are outfitted with 45nm CPUs then there is a short term transition to 32nm versions. This is where Apple has a decision to make on either offering two Mac Pro refreshes within 6 months, create a middle tier box to be one revision behind 45nm while the Mac Pro gets the 32nm-highly unlikely, or will they stretch out the current boxes and add BTO options for BluRay, more GPUs and such until the 32 nm chips are ready to roll. But at some point, online storage will get cheaper at a faster rate than personal physical storage gets cheaper. People will like the convenience and opt for the online model when pricing is similar. Hell, I dont even like IMAP because if you delete an e-mail there from the web interface, its pretty much gone for good. Too bad the iPhone wasnt made to handle never in sync with Mail on your computer. I wish iTunes would sync e-mail messages and apply the rules and junk filter on the iPhone so you dont get notified for junk mail when on the go. A clock syncing wouldnt hurt either, iTunes could set the iPhone time to the computer time which is synced from the internet. My iPhone is off by a minute every month. Optical media will stay cheaper than hdd/sdd at least for a decade. Maybe you should set your imap client to put deleted messages to Trash, so you can remove them from there later. Requires UDF Leopard already has read/write support for UDF Movies. Requires codecs VC-1, H. 264, MPEG-2, and HDCP-compliant drivers and displays. OSX supports all but VC-1 out of the box. These codecs are mandatory for any device that claims to allow playback of Blu-Ray media. OSX does not have any support for HDCP, and Apples displays lack support as well. Without HDCP, devices cannot be marketed as HD ready in Europe. To enable Blu-Ray movie playback, Apple would need to: Ship a VC-1 codec. FFMpeg provides a free one, but its likely Apple will want to write their own. Possibly part of QuickTime X that will be brought back to QT This is mandatory. HDCP is technically not required for Blu-Ray playback. However, some disks may demand it, and will not play back in HD if the system does not support it. That may lead to class-action lawsuits. These lawsuits stand a reasonable chance of winning, as HDCP is required for HD ready marketing in Europe and other territories. A judge might not need much convincing to establish that marketing a non-HDCP device as capable of HD movie playback was wrong and misleading to customers. I doubt Apple will take that route. A more likely course of action is that, as drivers are rewritten for the true-64-bit Snow Leopard, HDCP support will be added. Perhaps Apple will ship a preliminary solution by giving leopard a VC-1 codec only, but I dont see much incentive for that.
