TiVo is in serious trouble. People are sick of paying monthly for something that SHOULD be (and CAN be had already) for free. It was a great idea at the time, but their business model is broken and too easily replicated. Back in the dot-com d…

Right now the Mac Mini competes with appleTV (I just bought a mini to use as my HD content driver for my HDTV) and the mini itself is a kindof underpowerd, expensive computer but makes a much better entertainment system than the appleTV. In order t…

The new top-of-the-line iPod should be an iPhone without the phone. In other words, do everything that the iPhone does (iTunes, video, email and internet over WiFi) but without the cellular network and AT&T charges. And unlike the iPhone i…

Look at the poll -- half of us think the AppleTV needs a DVD player. That implies that apple could DOUBLE its sales of the AppleTV if it simply included the player. For those that don't want the DVD, they won't be required to put a disk in...

The great thing about inserting a disk (rather than downloading content) is that it is nearly INSTANTANEOUS. Downloading a whole movie in 720p is slow on the internet connections that the masses have. Then it has to be sent from the computer to th…

AppleTV needs to replace the functionality of all content source media -- in other words, it needs to be able to replace your DVD player and your TiVo, and it should have an internal HDTV tuner. Getting rid of all those cruddy boxes for one sleek e…

Hardware ENCODING would be much more useful and time-saving than hardware decoding. I can play DVDs just fine on my Mac, it's encoding video content to MP4 that takes forever and burns up my CPU.

Last Friday I bought a Mac Mini. Longtime Apple user, first time Mac Mini user. I bought it as the entertainment system in my living room, and I am very happy with it so far. Reasons I bought Mac Mini over an AppleTV: - connects directly to my…

The name "iTablet" is too generic. Needs to be called the iNewton.

The vidiPod could very well finish what TiVo started, a true revolution of television. People are just too busy to sit at home in front of a television. They want to watch what they want to watch, when they want to watch it, on the device that the…

A lot of people are disappointed that their Nano didn't stay in a pristine condition after use, and they expected it to. Apple really should find a material that is extremely durable and will keep scratch-free with normal use. Materials science sh…
