Blu-ray Disc a 'bag of hurt', says Jobs

Jobs Horns

The real reason...

Apple uses slot load 9.5mm optical drives. Guess what? There is no Blu-Ray 9.5mm slot load drive available in the market! As soon as one becomes available, Mr Jobs will suddenly change his position. This just goes to show you the kind of guy Steve is. If he doesn't have the feature, he does a slight of hand and downplays it, until he supports the feature, then it's better than sliced bread.

Typical "blind Apple follower"

"It needed the hard drive replaced *once* (after the dog incident), but the motherboard replaced a couple times (the notorious iBook whacked display problem). In fact, that's what finally killed it: it's out of AppleCare and my attempts to shim and solder the IC in question only worked for a bit."

"the iBook -- which worked perfectly for me for years. i never felt its age before it actually failed."

Good grief, you've got to be kidding me!
