Whatever your views on the take-up of blu-ray, surely we can all agree that having a stable, portable, recordable, storage medium limited to 8gig for the foreseeable future is ridiculous?

Looks to me like the Macbook line's being set-up for a complete overhaul to smaller, Netbook/Touch devices. Full size laptops will be for the pro-market.

So now you can get a White Macbook with 4GB ram, 500GB HDD, and firewire for £150 less than an alluminium Macbook with 4GB ram, 320GB HDD and no firewire. Gotta be some serious upgrades round the corner, but they'll never bring firewire back …

I've got plenty of HD films on my hard drive with sizes up to 8gig a movie. Now if I want to get that file off my Mac and onto a PC, console or whatever how do I do it? DVD isn't big enough, there isn't a cross-platform format that supports files ab…
