Unrelated to the post, but why is the only option to rent? I love iTunes, but I hate their rental policy (only watch for 24 hours). Would be nice if I could just pay the 10-15 bucks and own it.

I believe these policies are set by the copyright holder. The policies often change, so check back later and you might be able to buy it.

FWIW, this was a really good film.

I think the author is making too big a deal of this video not being promoted by Apple. Sure, to us reading from the author's blog, we know it's an independent video.

He's just trolling. Assuming his film doesn't make $100M at the box office or win a bunch of awards he knows there's no chance in hell Apple is going to promote it for him.

Apparently he's wrong about the LaserWriter. Wikipedia says HP had a laser printer for the PC in May 1984. The LaserWriter was announced in Jan 1985.
