I smell some pot smoke here!
I think that Apple could remove the optical drive from all computers, and put it in a new Apple TV device as an external accessory. A networkable optical drive (Blu-ray option?) that can also do double duty as an entertainment center device would be pretty cool.

So if you want use the drive you have to go in the living room and connect it to your TV.
To make matters worse you make it an expensive Blue-ray drive...Hasn't Sony tried this with PS3?
