Blu-ray on a Mac? Well duh.

Cdface And the next candidate for least surprising rumor of 2008: word that Sony is in talks with Apple to supply Blu-ray discs for future Mac systems.

According to the Financial Times, Microsoft is also amongst the latest targets to put Blu-ray drives in its hardware in the coming months and years. If proven to be true, the deals would serve as major victories for Sony in a war it has already won.

Not really sure what Apple's alternative would be at this point. Unless they want to skip a generation and wait for a better technology to come along, Apple is pretty much stuck with using Blu-ray for its next generation of optical drives.

That is,of course, if Apple decides to keep optical drives around for that long.
