I absolutely hate Apple and will never buy any Apple products. Just my personal opinion.

But they certainly know how to make money as a company and it won't surprise me one bit if the company continues to grow just like the video says.

They are advertised to be so much better, when you actually use them its worst or lack luster.

Can't watch it at work, but wasn't this discussed in various forums/news soruces not too long ago--an expansion of AppleTV. What's sad is that there are so many "smart" TV options out now that support streaming if you have netflix or amazon prime subscriptions (and hulu?) that also support youtube, facebook music streaming, etc., but regardless of that it's going to be Apple that's known as the "smart" TV pioneer. No doubt hipsters and itards are going to be jumping all over this.

Loving all the apple hate. I like TV as it is. Screw 3d, apps, and junk. I plug in an HDMI cable and plug stuff into my TV to use it.

I love their products. They innovate, but at the same time, force us to at their speed. Android is changing that.

im not an apple fanboy but that comment is B.S.

its actually the opposite of this

for example

while android phones have superior specs most of the time, the user experience is generally much more polished, much more better on apple compared to competition

same goes to laptops

i personally own 2 superphone Android for 2011 (Droid Razr, Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch), and the experience is just meh

the ui is not very smooth, the battery life is a mixed bag.

official OTA updates takes forever to be released (ICS to this day isn't officially out for my phone)

there is always a compromise either be it build quality, User Experience, poor hardware, bugs, etc...

Yet another area of tech that apple can pretend to innovate in by putting a shiny new coat of paint on an old idea and throw 4000 patents behind.

I use an Apple TV; a great device if you already own an iPad. Oh and it's a bit fussy about file formats unless you use a special player. So I can play mkv files but only if I run them through an app and output to the apple tv.

They're the best tablet, far and away.
