Apple joins Blu-Ray Disc supporters

The vice-president of the Blu-Ray Disc Association (BDA) announced yesterday that Apple will become a member of the consortium’s Board. Apple has then officially chosen its side, between the Blu-Ray and the HD-DVD format supported by Pioneer, a historical partner of Apple since the first DVD burner.
It is too early to conclude, but one can ask if Steve Jobs' position as Pixar CEO have had any effect on Apple's decision.
