Blu-ray on the Mac; never

File this under "news that's not news," but Steve Jobs has confirmed that Blu-ray will never come to the Mac. MacRumors.com posted extracts from an email exchange between Jobs and a customer, the highlight being:

Bluray is looking more and more like one of the high end audio formats that appeared as the successor to the CD - like it will be beaten by Internet downloadable formats.

Not really s surprise given past indications, but in a way it's nice to have it finally confirmed. I guess we can all get on with our lives now...
