Default Monoprice to Offer MiniDP to HDMI Next Month

http://gizmodo.com/5110847/cheap-mi...rice-next-month

"Mini DisplayPort might be an industry standard, but it doesn't mean we miss HDMI on the new MacBooks any less. Apple isn't helping us yet, either. But MonoPrice.com will reportedly answer our prayers next month."

This should remedy the DRM issues people are coming across when playing HD content through the MiniDP connector on the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air.  I'm somewhat annoyed that Apple isn't offering this cable themselves, particularly since they were the ones who decided to go MiniDP first, but knowing how much Apple charges for stupid little accessories and adapters, maybe it's better that a company like MonoPrice is doing it instead.  I'm just glad Apple licensed the port's specs out to manufacturers so that it didn't become an unused and stagnant standard.
