Changing subjects. Random thoughts... What if the iTV becomes necessary because content creators start using iTunes as an alternative to the TV and movie studios distribution model. Joe Blow with camera, Josephine Blow with script, and Joey Bl…

As to all the fanboy comments, just think about this: Apple dominated the market for PCs with a Graphical UI for years. MS came out with a 2nd rate, obviously plagiarized competitor years after Apple did. Who dominates now? I know things don…

onlooker, If it helps any, I don't think Apple ever intends to create a DVR. And not necessarily because they just want the cash. Ever since I found out the El Gato CEO was on Apple's (German) board, I haven't expected any competition from Apple.…

I'll wager good money that the iTS will not offer HD movies anytime soon. I'm expecting that they'll up the res to 480p (full dvd res, if not full dvd bitrate), maybe at MWSF07, maybe when iTV is released, maybe at WWDC or Paris Expo 07, but sometim…

On the subject of the hard-drive in the iTV. I don't believe it for a second. Iger was probably guessing, or misunderstood when the exact specs were given to him (I can imagine him getting the same glazed-over look in his eyes that my mother gets wh…

I've been thinking. (Never a good sign...) What would be the easiest and most convenient way to get your iTunes videos and movies from your computer to your TV? Burn to DVD. Obviously. Why can't we? It's not the technical capability, since …

I'm actually glad Apple started small. They can build the brand slowly, work out the kinks, and adjust the service as it grows. I was initially skeptical (well, I still am). And I remember posting about Apple getting hammered in the press for lon…

Wow. I was a tad underwhelmed by Apple's showtime event. But this thing makes Apple look so much better right now. PS I think that shade of brown is known as "babyshit"...
