Jason D. O’Grady shares his peeve with Apple now that Logitech has released its Cordless MediaBoard Pro, a Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.

“I’ve been bugging Apple forever to release a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in trackpad for use with a Mac media center. The problem is that Apple won’t listen because they’d prefer that we buy an Apple TV and use their teensy stick-of-gum Front Row remote. Bah.”

Microsoft denies Xbox 360 is Blu-ray bound
The Register
James Sherwood writes that according to what was said to Reuters, there are no plans to bring Blu-ray to the Xbox 360.

“Microsoft’s group product manager for Xbox 360, Aaron Greenberg, went on record to say that the two were not discussing bringing Blu-ray to the Xbox 360. The Xbox team ‘is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Disc Association about integrating Blu-ray into the Xbox experience,’ he told Reuters. Microsoft’s denial doesn’t rule out the possibility of a Blu-ray enabled Xbox 360 in the future, only that two pair aren’t chatting about it at the moment.”
