Apple Gets on Board with Blu-ray Disc

By C.K. Sample, III

This story is all over the place, and I'm proud to be the absolute last to mention it: Apple has joined the Blu-ray Disc Association's Board of Directors. In the official press release Jobs notes: "Apple is pleased to join the Blu-ray Disc Association board as part of our efforts to drive consumer adoption of HD. . . . Consumers are already creating stunning HD content with Apple's leading video editing applications like iMovie HD and are anxiously awaiting a way to burn their own high def DVDs." As Blu-ray Discs hold 25GBs of data on single-layer disks and 50GBs on double-layer disks, I sure hope Steve starts amping up the hard drive space across the entire Apple line of products.

Am I the only one who thinks the next DVD disk standard should be named Manta-ray?
