NOTE FROM KIM:
The Top 6 Features of Apple TV
6> No, it’s not your imagination: every commercial contains that smug little jerk from the “Mac vs. PC” campaign.
5> It gets the same bad shows that your WinTV does, but it looks much better turned off.
4> To keep up with the shrinking attention span of its demographic, it automatically changes the channel every few seconds.
3> Whenever you tune to MSNBC the screen inexplicably blanks out and turns blue.
2> All newscasts are presented by a blonde bimbo named Lisa.
and the Number 1 Feature of Apple TV…
1> You have to use obscure sequences of clicks and spins to work the lone button on the otherwise elegantly-designed remote.
