but u ahwell ignore the stereotype My point is that the penetration of Internet connections over 2mb is actually pretty small worldwide. If I want to download a film, length of approximately 2 hours, you are looking at a file size of about 5 GB from iTunes. It will take about 1 and a half hours to download at 2mb. Now if you are capped at your it wont take very long 256kb, then it will take nearer 13 In the UK, the average speed is about 4mb. Now imagine everyone downloading films online as that is the only way to obtain them, it just wouldnt work in the current state. Despite the media hype, a small percentage of connected internet users use P2P to download films illegaly, and even with that small proportion, ISPs are unable to cope with the amount of bandwdth required of them, hence the capping. The small number of people using the BBC iPlayer is enough to cause concern to UK ISPs with regards to bandwidth issues. Bringing me back once again to that fact that the entire infrastructure of the internet needs an overhaul if its is to be able to sustain the selling of digital media. Also what are you arguing about when it comes to the legal or not legal issue? What difference does that make to the argument that optical media will remain here for the foreseeable? And lastly, what are you on about when it comes to it was merely an example of how physical media is still in demand. Businesses work on a meet the demand model.

It has outlasted 8-tracks, cassettes, DAT, DCC, and MD. There may have been a surge in sales recently due to the young crowd, but vinyl has stuck around this long because people enjoy the sound and the process involved in listening to it. There is a ritual in listening to a record. At most I have about 20 minutes before I have to flip the record or throw on a new one. It forces me to pay attention to the music. In fact I will often just sit in the sweet spot and do nothing except listen. Its at that point that Im glad that I spend the time and money on system. A well-mastered record on a high-quality, well-maintained turntable sounds incredible. If Im busy doing things around the house Ill throw on a CD or plug in the iPod, but that greatly reduces my enjoyment of the music because Im too busy to give it much attention. I have a huge attachment to physical media. I havent bought a single track off of iTunes because I dont see the point in paying the same price for music that is compressed, void of packaging, and locked down by DRM. The only MP3s I have downloaded were exclusive free tracks from the artists directly. I also try to avoid buying software that is download-only. If there is an option to get it on a disc, I go for it. On the whole Blu-ray thing, I agree that Apple is way behind on this. I hope that when they do finally release Macs with Blu-ray BTO options that they dont do it with much too much fanfare. That would make them look silly as they are already 2 or 3 years behind everyone else. At this point I dont have a HDTV or a BD player, but I will in the future when the price is right. Download HD video? Youve got to be kidding me! Maybe ten years from now the internet will be fast enough, but not now. I see a lot of people complaining about how much battery life would suffer if Macs had Blu-ray drives. How often would you watch a 2 hour movie on battery power? Where are you at for that long without access to AC? Camping in the woods?:p OK, I jest, but come on.
