It's too bad Apple doesn't let apps run in the background, like, you know, if you need to make/receive a call.

I agree with almost all of that. I don't see digital distribution replacing hard copies any time in the near future, because DRM effectively ensures that buying digital is for suckers but none of the big players in media distribution are willing to change their business model.

I have no beef with Blu-Ray though. As long as Blu-Ray players are backwards-compatible with DVDs there's no real hit to your existing library (like there was with the VHS to DVD move). There's also not a lot of incentive to move up, and I think Big Media is already finding that out.

The shift from geekiness to financial commentary did it for me. And the thought that Eli actually _owns_ stock, given that he's a sleepy … er … anarchist.

No, that's definitely compressed. The DVD set has 4 discs, so that's roughly 20GB. Since the resolution of 720p video is about 2.66 times more than regular DVDs ((1280 * 720) / (720 * 480)), the uncompressed rip should be around 54GB. I wish there was a comparison between the Iron Man rip and the original somewhere.

I'm not against features being on the servers instead. That means IN THEORY that they could put more content on the disc. Like say… all 6 star wars on 2 BR's (one disc of the good ones… the other BR to never be watched by mortal eyes). I just think it's silly when you make your players internet capable, but don't give the software the ability to recognize that nothing is plugged in. I mean, if I unplugged the cat5 cable from my pc, it would know it has no connection, and wouldn't spend 5-10 minutes trying to find one.
