@ack154, unless greater than 100" screens become commonplace in households, 1080p is already as high as picture resolution needs to get for home viewing. Anything greater would be an imperceivable improvement without aforementioned giant screens.

This is very similar (in function, not style) to Apple's old iSub offering, which was a subwoofer add-on to their jellybean iMac line. It's a fantastic, albiet overpriced, solution to getting drastically better sound out of an AIO desktop or laptop without cluttering your space with external speakers and wires.

They should make this thing work with the Apple LED Cinema Display, and cut the price in half. Then I would buy it.

Completely pointless unless everyone starts fitting their homes with 20-50 foot screens.

And a person would spend $30 on a crappy 4GB version of a movie instead of buying the Blu-Ray for $20...why?

I don't think we'll see any blu-ray releases top Regenge of the Fallen's first-week sales.

It looks like the one on the right has a glossy screen, while the one on the left is matte; in the brightly lit room these televisions appear to be presented in, that alone would go a long way in making the tv on the left pale in comparison.

I got excited after the iTunes 9 upgrade when I saw that my HD videos were no longer grayed out in the iPhone sync panel, but soon discovered that the "improved syncing" interface is no longer smart enough to acknowledge which of your movies aren't iPhone-compatible; instead, you're hit with an error message once and then never notified again that any incompatible movies weren't copied to your iPhone.

They definitely shouldn't be able to run the ad where the "filmmaker" says "this is the best Mac for under $2k and it only has 2GB of memory". That is false advertising.

Apple's #1 priority these days is movie and music sales on the iTunes Store. They believe everyone should just rent their shitty 4mbps "HD" movies and be satisfied. And word is the next version DVD Studio Pro is going to be a very miniscule update; keep Blu-Ray authoring away from the professionals and they can stagnate it's adoption. And while they're making blu-ray authoring impossible, they'll argue that blu-ray adoption isn't to a point yet that it's worth burdening their customers with it's "bag of hurt".

There are people who argue that you can't appreciate a blu-ray movie on a computer screen anyhow, but the point for me is compatibility. I stopped buying DVDs over a year ago, which means I've got a cabinet full of movies that my $1,750 MacBook Pro and $900 Apple monitor can't comprehend.

What's with the blatant Bumblebee knock-off?
