The very first question during the Q and A at Apple's launch of its' new Macbooks was why neither HDMI nor Blu-ray have still not been included?Steve Jobs' response was unequivocal: "HDMI only offers a limited resolution," while his colleague Phil Schiller claimed that "for typical computer use, DisplayPort is the connector of the future."
And what about Blu-ray? Well, they don't like that either: "it's just a bag of hurt;" said Jobs, "it's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace"
