In case you missed it, Apple had a special laptop event yesterday. One of the pre-Apple event rumors was that the new laptops announced would include Blu-Ray drives. When asked yesterday during a Q&A session why there were no Blu-Ray drives in the freshly announced new apple laptops like the new MacBook Pro, Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, said that Blu-Ray is a "bag of hurt."

A post event Q&A session is a rarity from Apple and considering both how Apple removed the Q&A session from their streaming video of the event and how an online conversation has sprung up around the statement, chances are we won't see many more post-event Q&A sessions. What do you think? We already know that Sharp disagrees and likes Blu-Ray. See the conversation links below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
