I have no idea where the hell you got this, but Mac fans have been jonesing for Blu-ray support for at least 2 years. iTunes has done nothing but interfere with Mac's including Blu-ray burners, and it sucks now, and it always has.
Just check any site, like the aforementioned Appleinsider, and you'll see the constant rumors of "THIS TIME there's Blu-ray, really we swear." So this is one time Mac geeks have seen beyond Jobs' RDS to the reality of blowing off a great technology.
