Point is Tallest, I don't want to be carrying external drives and external DVD/Bluray drives round with me. This stuff may be legacy one-day and we'll all have Terabytes of data on Flash, Thunderbolt pen-drives and Cloud storage and all movies will …

I don't now about anyone else, but the removal of discdrives and mov3e to flash storage fills me with dread. I work in regular offices where many things are stored on DVD, where I may need to burn audio from a CD, store very large moviefiles etc. Le…

I'm not sure if I'm being silly but the thing that's put me off getting an iMac so far is the lack of an anti-glare option and being forced to buy a massive screen if I want a top-spec. i have no need of such a large screen but would like the extra …

Been watching HD downloads for a while now, and I have HD TV broadcast on various channels, in fact I'm watching Wall-E on HDTV right now! The quality of these compressed broadcasts and downloads is vastly inferior in general to what you experien…

Went to the Apple store today with the intention of picking up the new i7 iMac. Walked out empty handed due to the beautiful screen being as reflective as a mirror. I'll wait for an anti-glare option rather than resorting to some cheap work-aroun…

Glad I checked the site out as I was just about to get an iMac! Faster Firewire and USB 3.0 is enough to get my wallet out at the moment. Lack of blu-ray's not such a deal breaker now, as if they aren't going to put it in without a r-vamped iDVD.…

Those that don't want an optical drive just go buy an Air and an iPad and leave the rest of us to continue ripping and burning CD's and DVD's and hoping to one day be allowed to watch our blu-ray collections on our $2000 Macs.

I was in the Shibuya Apple store yesterday getting some quotes on education i5/i7's. I asked a few questions about the display and hooking up to an HDTV using hdmi. Without thinking I said: 'y'know, if I want to watch a blu-ray or something' T…

It must be some consolation to those with dust layered HD-DVD players that Apple haven't introduced Blu-ray yet. Enjoy your Netflix boys As for DVD, do people really imagine it's the future? A standard definition format in a High Definition worl…

It was pointed out to me that one reason for Apple not adopting blu-ray anytime soon is probably a total lack of Apple blu-ray authoring software. Not much point to stick it in there just for playback/archiving when you'll still have to author stuff…

If you'd paid a few thousand for a film project and were then sent a You Tube URL you'd be pretty p'd off. You Tube's fine for getting stuff viewed by a large amount of people, but for decent revenue and the best viewing experience you still current…
