Why on earth would they release a TV set?
It would just be a screen with an internal Apple Tv, whats the fucking point?
They'll just focus on making the Apple TV better and let someone else provide the dumb screen to connect it to
"I find navigating my cable box/dvr clunky and painfully slow. Channels/titles are difficult to find"
Well that's because they're both obsolete mediums in industries controlled by dinosaurs, recorded real time broadcasts to a hard disk? So fucking retarded when programs can just be sent out already as digital files instead.- < bingomonospaced
- this is my thoughts exactly. Why enter the fucking mess of TV choice (sizes, prices, 3D) when you only need to focus onESKEMA
- the ATV box, that connects to every TV out there, and some very verity expensive, thatESKEMA
- no one will replace anytime soon.ESKEMA
- ha - like saying why release a computer - its just a case with a mac in it! apple tvs would sell like crazyfadein11
- not sure they would sell like crazy because they would be fucking the roof expensive. It's a TV.ESKEMA
- People want them to work better not cost the triple. An ATV box solves this. No need for the screen headaches.ESKEMA
- @fade11 your analogy is completely stupid. What does it even mean?ESKEMA
- @eskema - you are an idiot - move on.fadein11

@animatedgif how can you know what those TV will be.
Did you foresee the iPhone and the iPad as well? then you should work for Apple on R&D.
- Maybe I should because they clearly agree with meanimatedgif

am i the only one who really doesn't care for OS updates?
Ive got mountain lion at the moment and its fine. no bugs so far.the thought of this mavericks doesnt interested me at all as my current OS does everything i need. i cant see any advantages to it. There dont appear to be any stand out new features.
Miguex posted this a while back -
"It sucks, but I rely on my computer for work. I show up for a show and something crashes... I pretty much loose my job, so I only update if its absolutely necessary"I feel exactly the same. I dont want to update as i can rely on my current OS to get my work done.
- I feel the same with OS X and with the iPhone. A new thing every year are small incremental changes.ernexbcn
- Exactly, small updates for an OS that wasn't really a problem before. Changes are good, considering.monospaced

@animated - they would release a TV set because they could kill that marketplace selling apple designed TV's - a true smart TV beyond the feeble offerings out now. Why would they do an mp3 player? why would they do a tablet? why would they do a laptop? they didn't invent any of these...
- design is pretty key to the most prominent object in your living space. and who beats them at that?fadein11

How often do people buy new TVs?- well, nowadays a TV is bought every 3-5 years and most of them don't even last longermekk

@ernexbcn
The part that would make an Apple TV experience compelling is all software and service. There is no point to stick this inside a £3000 screen when they probably wont want to be supporting that hardware 8 years down the line seen as people don't buy TVs every 2-4 years.
The hardware required is absolutely commodity level shit, it's just a little bit of storage, network access and a H264 decoder. Otherwise it's all just software. There is absolutely no point sticking and expensive screen and chassis to this hardware unless people will pay the premium for one on a regular basis.
