Apple TV review, and geek details

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Mar 23rd, 2007

I am sure some of you are thinking, 'Enough with the Apple TV already,' but considering that even Scoble likes it, I think some more coverage is in order. Two Apple TV links worthy of your attention have come across NetNewsWire. First off, our iPod loving friends over at iLounge list the top ten geek details about the Apple TV (I'm a geek, are you?). The list includes:
  • The 40 gig harddrive only has 33 gigs available for your use
  • Some H.264 videos won't play on the Apple TV
  • The Apple Remote does not control the volume (you have to use your TV/Receiver remote)
PC Magazine has given the Apple TV 4 out of 5... circles, which rates it as 'Very Good.' Interestingly Apple told PC Mag of the video codecs supported by Apple TV 'If it plays on your iPod, it should play on Apple TV, BUT if it plays in iTunes, it doesn't necessarily play on Apple TV.'

Apple tech winner and loser in 2005

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Dec 28th, 2005

PC World has created a list of the tech winners and losers of 2005. Apple made the list 3 times. How is that possible you ask? Well, Apple Computer (remember they still make computers!) was listed as both a winner and a loser.

Apple was a winner thanks to%uFFFD the Mac mini, the new iPod, and Intel inside. However, Apple found itself on the loser list because of the various lawsuits against rumor sites. However, I doubt many people even remember those (other than the folks directly involved in the suits) so I think that is a bit of a stretch.

That's only two mentions, the third comes in the form a iTunes which is listed on the winning side because of the new video content, holding fast to pricing, and making buying digital music with DRM cool again.
