Weren't there a few people here the other day asking for proof that HD DVD was dead? There you have it. HD DVD has lost support from Netflix, Blockbuster, Best Buy, Wall Mart, and now even Toshiba is dropping out. So now you won't be able to ren…

What possible benefit would there be to Apple adding a Blu-Ray player? They're in the business of selling digital downloads. Blu-Ray is the competition. Considering how poorly Blu-Ray is selling, (it may be trouncing HD-DVD, but overall sales ha…
