One of the things just announced at the Apple Keynote (by the CEO of 20th Century Fox) will likely be overlooked once Apple announces their new "sub-notebook," but I think it's really cool.
20th Century Fox DVDs will now include a digital copy of the movie transcoded for use on computer/iPod/whatever. This means no more handbrake, videora, etc. It also means that the movie industry is getting on board with an idea that the music industry still doesn't get - if I buy your product, I want to be able to consume it on my terms. If that means a movie in my DVD player, fine, but if it means a movie on my iPhone I SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION!
