I realize that Warner just went strictly Blu-ray AND that Apple's on the Blu-ray board, but Intel's on the HD DVD board, aren't they? I think we'll see both formats presented by Apple if they do it at MacWorld. If they do it any later, they'll have chosen one side or another.
believe me, they are not launching anything blu ray related, i work for apple![]()

I don't believe that Apple would provide a BR option but no HD DVD option, due to past comments:
"Apple is committed to both emerging high definition DVD standardsBlu-ray Disc and HD DVD."
Well I typed up a big long story about why apple chose blu ray over HD dvd because blu ray was superior getting 25gb per layer compared to 15gb per layer HD dvd gets. I think you got 720p, 1080i, 1080p confused with HD dvds. long story short I hit the backspace key.![]()
There is also a new technology feature, where users can battery-charge their iPods at Starbucks, simply by drinking caffienated products.
I was waiting for the part in the script where:
Steve, suddenly jumps out of a large BOX containing the new iMac with matte monitor and a team of highly professional staff for APPLE AUSTRALIA!
Guys, I've never in my life been screwed around so badly since dealing with Apple Australia.
I've spent the last three days actually researching and contemplating a windows product. I'm completely clueless with windows because I've never owned a non-Mac before, but after the way I have been treated by Apple Australia I seriously don't know if I can go through with another Mac disappointment.
Sad Mac user :?(
AMEN Brother. It'd be nice to get a Pro Apple system with no bugs or faulty construction. How about a MacBook Pro that doesn't creak when I pick it up?
I'm thinking Apple must be launching something massive this year. They have invited the European press to a satellite link up at the BBC. They have never done that before, not even with the iPhone. My money is on a big HDTV with a built in mac. What I really want to see though is a mac mini/nano with a half decent graphics card in it, and a Blu ray drive. That would make me a happy bunny for sure!
What's channel about watch Macworld SF 2008 on Jan 15? What time?
Thanks
You can't see it live, but the video should be available within a day or so from Apple directly.
Don't laugh, I worked on that in a lab last year. Except, instead of caffeine, we used plain sugar. Oh yeah, and the research was funded by NASA. (Actually, it was funded by the AFRL, but it would have been so much funnier if it had been NASA.) It's called a "bio fuel cell" and it uses blood sugar (glucose) to generate micro-power for sensors embedded in astronauts - still experimental. I think maybe LSU was spear heading the chemistry. And when I say "micro-power" I mean power levels so low we had trouble finding resistors with low enough resistivity to even measure the power levels.
