Apple commits to Blu-Ray

Apple announced that they will join the Blu-ray Association which, to me, means that future Macs will support the Sony-created technology for High Def content. Steve Jobs declared this year the “year of High Def” in his last keynote, so it appears this is a step in that direction.
The dual layer version of Blu-ray discs can hold 50 GB of data making room for High Def movies a cinch. Blu-ray players have been available in Japan, of course, for months now, but the first guaranteed taste of the technology that the US will see will be in the form of the Playstation 3. It can’t come soon enough.
