It appears that Apple offers customers energy efficient forward thinking technology with their spanking new aluminium MacBooks and MacBook Pros along with the Mini DisplayPort, which virtually leave the user’s who still play nice with displays sans HDCP compliant HDMI/DVI ports up the swannie oar-less.

Why? Because apparently select content at the Apple iTunes Store is laced in HDCP, which causes a problem when you actually realise that the new shiny unibody MacBook and MacBook Pros simply does incorporate a VGA?VGA-to-compliant output.

What this means is the user has to connect to an HDCP compliant display if they wish to seen anything, somehow this fiasco seems to becoming the norm with Apple machines.
