"Apple is expected to affirm its support of the Blu-ray DVD format (big deal)"

All Comments by Tom B »Gadget Watch: 7 Consumer Electronics Stories [View article]
It IS a big deal, but ISN'T unexpected; HD DVD has been moribund for some time now, and Warner's recent decision to drop HD DVD cements that.
"and would have no problem launching its own record label"
Why not? The real labels are doing a piss-poor job, and Jobs comprehends content (remember PIXAR?). This i sthe the kind of thing that separates the men (Jobs) from the dabblers (Bill Gates).
"More interesting was data from an antitrust lawsuit: Apple controls 75% of the online video market, 83% of online music, 90%+ of the hard-drive based music device market and 70% of the flash-based music device market."
And damned fools like Amazon nevertheless promote a service (UNBOX) that doesn't even WORK on portable players! NetFlix, a decent "player" in the movie biz is running scared-- the latest is that they, too, are trying to break into downloaded movie content!
Incidently, the lawsuit is frivolous. The plaintiffs are annoyed that Apple didn't pay MSFT to license WMA, so WMA content could play on iPods. Like-- why would they bother? WMA is not widely used anymore.
