As odd as it may seem, don't judge by what you see in the store. Those Sony Bravia displays make the AppleTV/iTunes Movies look terrible. They look darn close to DVD on my 50" Hitachi 50VS810 LCD RPTV. Clearly your TV has a lot to do with it.

If there is any merit to the idea of an Apple Universal Remote (which I'm not sure there is); then I think it's more likely related to the new patents for the MEDIA HUB recently uncovered. Instead of 'programming' a remote like you do with the Ha…

Had mine since the day they shipped and I love it. It's become a fixture in my Home Theater just like my DirecTV HD-DVR, XBox360 and Wii. Each serves a unique purpose: Satellite for regular TV viewing XBox360 for HD Games Wii for fun & fa…

Here's how it should be (IMHO): 1. DRM-Free purchase of all music (even if it means $1.29 per track). Statistics, surveys, and common sense tell us that if PERSON A steals music, he will always steal music; while PERSON B buys music, and will c…

It could be done with a standard single hinge that 'locks' when you hit a 30" angle or so, but it would be difficult to make it sturdy enough to allow people to reach out and touch it without tipping the whole thing backward, using the 2 section hin…

I actually think, if other RUMORS are presumed to be true, that Apple may be in a bit of a 'pickle' with NAB announcements... Presume for a moment that Leopard holds secrets, and that those secrets are (as suspected) related to the use of Core An…

Imagine this. A tablet. A laptop. A Multi-Touch Mac. 13" Widescreen Multi-touch LCD Hinged at both sides to 2 equal sized 'flaps' When closed, it looks like a traditional Macbook PRO, but with a divided middle. Open both sides a full 180 …

My problem with the "Piles" concept is that it perpetuates the DESKTOP metaphor, which has really run its course. I'm one of the few people I know that keeps a completely tidy computer desktop, typically with links to only 2-3 items; the Mac HD, a …

I think there's way too much attention being paid to developer previews and the timing of Leopard's release. Don't look for hints from developers, because as has already been noted there is no point in giving 'secret' features to the development co…

I've watched my own RIP'd DVD's as well as purchases from iTunes on both my 24" iMac and my 50" Hitachi RPLCD TV via Apple TV. While not HD, I've never had a problem with the quality; it's vastly superior to the artifacted, stretched and washed-out…

The simplest thing for Apple to do, while still having a SLIM chance of getting studio support, is to create a system whereby iTunes can VERIFY a purchased DVD, but rather than RIP it the verification allows you to download it for $.99; which Apple …
