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.
