3. Comment - Steve Jobs criticizes Microsoft on Zune, says Blu-ray won

   Oh, so now since we are "only" downloading 20 GB my argument is suddenly invalid? Yeah, 50GB would take forever, but 20GB will download really quickly.
   
   In the case of Blu-Ray, the extra space is largely used by providing lower compression rates for the video and audio, not "bonus features" or "extra content." Applying higher compression rates to speed up downloads would largely negate the benefit of going HD in the first place.

   Wow, Steve Jobs hates the Zune? Who would have thought?
   
   I've got one, they are really nice, and I've had more than one iPod-owning friend tell me that they like the Zune's UI and menus better than their iPod.
   
   And HD downloads? Come on. It would take me days if not weeks to download the 50 GB or so that a Blu-Ray disc can hold. And that's with a reasonably fast DSL connection.
