True he said that, but with some context, the comment was another way of saying "No, we have nothing to talk about regarding BluRay here at this event where we are launching new notebooks". Apple completely ignoring BluRay is just not an option if they want to keep their footing in the movie production business. They at a minimum need to get their pipeline working on disc mastering. This also means BluRay burners as an option in their products and so on.

Though OS X does support burning BluRay data disks already. I have an external burner here at work for some things, and didn't have any problems using Disk Utility, or the third party Burn program.
