Cringely and Apple movie predictions

Here's something interesting. Cringely proposes that the Mac Mini is actually Apple's first step into the movie distribution business. I'd have to reprint the whole thing to explain it all, but basically he proposes that Apple is preparing to dominate the pay-per-download HD movie business -- think HD NetFlix without waiting for the mail -- the way it dominates the pay-per-download music business with iTunes and iPod. If he's right, this would actually be pretty cool.

Now if I could only get an HDTV for less than an arm and two legs...
