Apple TV clearly a complete failure

Dayum! Thanks for that tip, guitarist. I'm embarrassed to say I never thought of that...

Puzzling that there's such a toxic level of hostility and discontent about Apple TV. People have strong feelings about it, differing views of its role, and endless advice about its problems and potential. Mostly from people who don't own one. If Apple were to add every feature that holdouts complain it doesn't have, it would look like a Microsoft product. It would be a gaming platform, have a radio receiver, a subscription service, play Windows Media files, have a Vista interface, a "Battlestar Galactica" screen saver, and a plugin for a miniature 7-11 Slurpee machine. Those of us who actually own an Apple TV are almost universally content, consider it one of Apple's underrated products, and dismiss most of the passenger-seat complaints as trivial.

Well said.
