Dynamics of Cable and Television - Mini Spins it all out ?

Phenomenal article on the way Ipod Mini may shape the way for a digital revolution. This article targets cable and media companies as significantly at risk in terms of their ability to market and sell movies to consumers. Basically the Mac Mini could function as a 'movie server' to which the movies are downloaded and played via a pre determined queue. This would however require DRM and other security and analysis to get their act going - but in principle is a significant concept - considering that a lot of Net Flix's costs are associated with the physical storage and handling of movies. Good read - and it doesn't suffer from the 'praise Mac for all its worth' nature of some articles on Mac products.
