Ok Rodge, I’ll bite. You wanted to know why you should have bought an Apple TV instead the Roko. Here we go.
1. It’s the cheapest Apple hardware you’ll ever have a chance to buy. It’s got genuine Apple stuff inside. Very secret and deliciously complicated.
2. Even if you never plug it in, displaying the Apple logo will bring up the decor of your entire house.
3. People assume you’re smarter/wealthier/sexier if they see you with Apple gear. It’s like Stevo is a close personal friend.
4. If you need to control your TV with your iPhone, you need Apple TV.
5. If you need to AirPlay Murdoch’s Daily from your iPad to your TV, you need Apple TV.
6. If you need to AirPlay your music from your iPod to your TV, you need …
7. Your stuff on flickr and iDisk is now on your TV.
8. Pod casts + Apple TV = BOOM
9. YouTube … BOOM
10. Beyond Netflix, Apple TV also streams movies and shows from Hulu and iTunes.
11. More tricks are coming. It has memory and will run apps, but I'm not at liberty to reveal anymore at this time. -

Apple TV = meh
1. Find a friend with a tvtorrent.com account.
2. Score an invite.
2.5 Setup a PC to host. Preferably a FreeNAS Linux box.
3. Profit ! Watch virtually every TV show every made when you want to. -

Aww cripes, Rodge. Do I have to trot out the sarc tag? Isn't this supposed to be an open 'dump on Apple' thread? Yanno, it really stinks to have to explain all my best jokes.
Of course you don't ever want an Apple TV in your home. It's a gift from Steve Jobs to link Apple gadgets, for people who buy lots of them.
But do evil geniuses ever give out gifts? Of course not. Every one of these iOS devices is a credit card machine designed to send much more high-profit revenue to Apple than the original product.
That's why I don't have an Apple TV either, even though it's free for me. You see, I've been trading AAPL since 1983. I could buy everything they make and it wouldn't ding the gains. I just happen to like cars more than stuffing things into my body cavities. (Don't make me explain that.) -

Helly a Miata? Where do you put the tires for track day? Get a MINI, you won't be disappointed.

I know this is a Mac-phobic blog, but don't worry. You won't get cooties from my server.
Where do you put the tires for track day?
It came with big expensive racing tires. I discovered that when I wrecked one in Farmington, NM. But we don't race. It's more useful as a nimble all-terrain RV.
Really. -
