BLu-Ray High Definition Standard and Apple's strategic move PING!

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't just rip one DVD to another.
The article leaves out a few things:
1080p is in the HDTV spec as well, but TVs supporting that resolution are only starting to come out. In a few years, that's going to be the ideal resolution.
Microsoft has announced HD-DVD support, presumably because of its Xbox2 (though the rumor is they'll use dual-layer DVDs for that, as HD-DVD drives are still too expensive.)
Philips (who else?) is supposedly working on a drive that reads both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. It's just a rumor, though.
HD-DVD's advantage isn't the companies backing it, but the three letters D, V, and D.
Apple's marketing genius has moved the company from a 20 percent marketing share to a two percent share. The share has actually dropped since they started selling decent hardware and OSX.
That's marketing.
