Yup, or even mix and match.
3 drive array A = Bay1, Bay2, ODB1.
2 drive array B = Bay3, ODB2.
3 drive array C = Bay4, IDE1, IDE2.
etc.
And more than 2 arrays are possible too.
Yes, DOWN WITH WINDOZE!!
I'll do this when Steve gives me decent Blu-Ray support.
And gamers will not drop it unless they get anything that beats DirectX.
OpenGL 3.x? It has the same functionality as DirectX 5 to 11 (10.1) including Shader 4.x support.
That´s just an marketing thing, not a technical thing. I´m looking forward to "Rage" of id Software which will run OGL (Mac OS X) native and not crappy Cidered but the Windows version will run DirectX (afaik) so we can compare it.

looks like it COULD be coming in iTunes 9, im really excited
it better be functional
Blu-Ray licensing has just changed, and is more attractive now. So it may finally happen this time.

I would not mind one bit. But the licensing change was in May! It would make sense though to start the option with the iMac. The will not need a 9mm trayless drive there. I#m not even sure such a thing (as required for MBP) would even exist. Once they have it running on the iMac it will automatically work with the Mac Pro.
You know what I meant.
May's not that far back. I'd think they'd start with the MP first, at least as a test bed, since the drives are readily available. Worst case, they can get the software/hardware sorted out now, and and wait for a simultaneous deployment. Perhaps the OS would get it in an update, and those with the hardware could go ahead and benefit (IIRC, they've already been including the necessary hardware in some of the systems, but I can't recall which ones do or don't have it).
true, but their online business has CRAP quality as far as HD videos go. they are ok for 720p systems but IMO you can really see the difference between them and a full BR movie.
the Uni-body MBPs no longer use 9.5mm drives, they are now 12.5mm drives. that might mean that they are designing for a change to BR slot loading (you're right, there are no 9.5mm BR slot-loading drives readily available).
true, butprobably do not care if their customers are not getting the best quality
good point, the quality is not TOO bad - they source their videos from really high quality originals probably, a 4-5Mb/s rip is probably more equivalent to a BR 10mb/s rip, they have a tad more colour and better clarity sometimes..
they cant ignore it forever.
Meh... Apple's on the Blu-ray Disc Association board, so they're covering themselves both ways. Online content is still stymied by slow connection speeds in different countries. 6 - 8 Mb/s is just too slow, and not everyone has that. 768Kb/s to 1.5Mb/s is more common, as the distances are too far to hit anything higher, and that's with ADSL2.
