Apple to Offer MGM Movies
UnknowingFool writes "Apple announced today that it will be adding MGM movies to its movie catalog. With Apple already selling Disney and Paramount movies, how long will it be before the other studios work out a deal with Apple?"
Good grief, your comment--true as it is--almost begs controversy. I can almost smell them now, the unperceptive masses falling over their keyboards right now to claim Apple never pushes the envelope, only accepts the terms dictated it by the beige suits. Their lack of vision is almost as criminal as their lack of taste.

Hey, I'm impressed that the poster actually linked to Apple's site. If Apple says it's gonna happen, then it almost certainly is gonna happen.

while its user interface is lacking, right now there is, bar none, no higher quality video playback than vlc.
i dont want to use itunes to play back video.
in fact.. i want my OLD itunes back.. the one before the RIAA started monkeying in the code and removing features, like internet streaming, then adding needless bloat.
i want my itunes to be a music player and only a music player. apple's philosophy has always been to make one application for the job, and make it good, and theyre way off base with what theyre doing to itunes.
VLC FOR MAC IS DYING! IF YOU DEVELOP, PLEASE SAVE IT!!
You can however sign up for a free wireless service using fiber that usually runs away from your home.
oh and wake up and smell the codecs - h264 can do dvd quality at 200megs per hour, you can't tell me peopel with adsl wouldn't be able to download that
200MB/hr? So you're the guy who tried to cram the whole LotR EE movies (3,5 hours) in on a 1CD rip and claim it was DVD quality, I thought you were just a legend. Most seem to agree you can do 3-5x compression over MPEG2, which works out to about 2CDs for a regular movie.

No! Your quick, easy and logical solution is not how things are done here. This is Slashdot. If they aren't providing $.01 high-definition movies in at least ten different formats, with helpful phone calls from AppleCare detailing exactly how you can put this on your media device of choice as a complimentary service, then they're just mindless slaves who are seeking to cripple your system with DRM, Satanic rituals, and kicking puppies. Any software other than iTunes is better by definition because it's not Apple.
