Dell is shipping Blu-ray enabled machines before Apple. What gives? Also, phase-change memory technology is shaping up to be the biggest thing since flash memory. In this week's Context Machine, a look at the role Blu-ray and PCM are going to play. Also, a look at the Rode Podcaster USB mic.
The Apple Weekly Report will be included in TMO's main RSS feed, and also in its own feed if you'd like to add it directly to your podcatching client.

Sun Dec 17, 2006 2:30 am Subject: HD-DVD is dead, no choice for you
Looking at all the electronics stores around here, It looks like the consumer doesn't get a real choice after all. Blu-ray is everywhere, and it is next to impossible to find an HD-DVD player. When people talk about "the market choosing" a product, they generally assume that it is consumers making the choice, but it looks like it isn't.
This same thing happened with USB 2 vrs Firewire. The day that USB 2 drives and cards hit the market, suddenly all the stores didn't have a single Firewire drive available. Since there was no way to put USB 2 on a laptop yet, people who wanted a high speed external for their laptop were out of luck, when the previous week they could have bought a firewire drive. Once USB 2 had been locked in as the dominant format, they let firewire back in - at higher prices, of course.
