Ooooohhhhh, I can sidebar Facebook and Twitter when watching movies that aren't 2.35:1? I'm sure the market this is intended for gives a shit about that.

I'd like my TV to be "smart" in that I want built-in wifi, streaming capabilities and possibly YouTube access. Anyone who wants to see a stream of tweets during a movie clearly has zero attention span.

It looks like it's actually part of the MPEG-2 specification, but not part of the DVD spec.
Since that's the case, I would imagine that h.264 also has a 20:9 anamorphic provision, but again, not adopted by the BD spec.
