| apple stopped including floppy drives in their computers and the press went ape-shit with how crazy such a notion could be. it doesn't matter that there have been alternatives, manufacturers still keep putting in antiquated features (dell still includes VGA connections--i mean, come on!)--it takes one company to make a bold move to suddenly force a change in the market, and that company frequently seems to be apple. |

So Apple slaps an OS on a USB drive at that "kills" DVDs?
I've been slapping OSs on USB drives for some years now. People have been migrating to USB sticks for years now. Apple didn't have anything to do with it - cheap availability of USB sticks did. Apple isn't killing optical medium, Sandisk is.
What a BS Apple fanboy story.

I really haven't used any optical storage for years.
Steam, Hulu, Netflix, my phone memory, and a broken 360.
Haha love the first comment on that article. |

| DVDs are far more than 10x cheaper than NAND memory. |

As long as we have the ISP download limits on the horizon, you won't have to worry about detachable media dying out.
Yep USB sticks are getting cheaper, but a dvd is still about 10 times cheaper to make, going to be a bit before it changes. |

^ TBF, you're not a major computer manufacturer.
The article also talks about the Mac app store which they say will end distribution of software on CD, so it's not just the USB drive. However, yes, it's an Apple fluff piece and the price of USB drives is the real reason. The Mac app store is hardly the first desktop digital distribution service, and if it is anything like their mobile app store, I'll be avoiding it. |
